Regina Housing Highlights - Oct 8, 2023
Affordable, charming, walkable houses in Canada for sale under $250,000
We’re back again with more Regina “Housing Highlights” — a brief look at some of the local housing units for sale in Regina — and who knows, maybe eventually other cities too — for less than $250,000.
Here’s the catch — the housing we’ll be highlighting will consist entirely of places with great Walk Scores, Bike Scores, or Transit Scores (and ideally all three) from the eponymous WalkScore.com. They will also look nice, interesting, unusual or wacky in some way or have some other vague, subjective potential.
All the usual disclaimers apply — and we should point out that nobody here at Prairie Townscapes is making any commission or receiving any incentives for doing this. All images are from Realtor.ca and the listings are linked below.
