#LivingInWinnipeg #MovingToWinnipeg #RelocatingToWinnipeg
1. Our Crime. If you have googled crime in Winnipeg, you may have noticed that we have an above-average crime rate. But honestly, don’t think that we are in a city where you are going to be looking over your shoulder when you are walking down the street. There are definitely areas that are less safe at night, just as in any city. But the majority of our violent crime here is gang-related or of a domestic nature.
2. A variety of communities. If you are looking for downtown living, there are more limited options. What we do have though, are great sprawling neighbourhoods that offer an abundance of green spaces, safe walking trails or sidewalks, and development with family in mind.
3. You need a car. We DO have public transit here, but the scheduling options aren’t as great as some other cities - and with our weather, standing outside at a bus stop in the Winter can be pretty unbearable.
4. Our education systems - we have arguably some of the best schools in Canada, from preschool to post-secondary and graduate studies. There are also great options for Montessori schooling and private schools here too. We have two major and well renowned universities, the University of Winnipeg which has a downtown campus, and the University of Manitoba which offers a variety of programs including Medicine, Engineering, Architecture, Pharmacy, Agribusiness, and so much more.
5.It’s Cold. Like, really cold. I moved here from two hours east in Northwestern Ontario - and let me tell you, it is actually colder in Winnipeg than it is in Kenora, Ontario. This is mostly due to the windchill factor.
6.Our tax rates - We are one of the more highly taxed provinces in Canada - sitting at 8th most taxed in Canada, but the highest taxed of all the Prairie Provinces. See table here: www.taxtips.ca/taxrates/taxco....
7. The cost of living in Winnipeg. We have very affordable housing here - almost half of the national average at the time of recording (national average was around $700,000 and we are sitting at an average home price of $321,000). Then you need to look at our utility costs. We play home to Manitoba Hydro - a huge hydro electric exporter - and because we are receiving that electricity direct from the source, our kilowatt hours are about a third of what people pay in other provinces.
8. We also have great sports here - whether you want to be a participant or a spectator. For professional sports, the Canada Life Centre is home of the Winnipeg Jets NHL hockey team, as well as the Manitoba Moose, AHL hockey team. Pro-tip: If you are lucky enough to get Jets tickets during playoffs, be sure to wear white! We are known for our Winnipeg Whiteouts! IG field plays home to our CFL football team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as well as our professional soccer team, FC Valour. And Shaw Park, right on Waterfront drive plays home to the Goldeyes. If you are wanting to get involved yourself, there are a number of leagues that you can join depending on your sport of choice. Winnipeg Rec League, CanLan Sports, University intramural leagues among other options offered around the City.
9. There is NO REASON to be bored in Winnipeg. There are a variety of programs offered by the City of Winnipeg - their leisure guide comes out twice a year with program offerings. There are often an abundance of affordable activities that you can sign up for - whether it be swimming lessons, dance, or even sushi-making and painting! Or getting outside and skating on the Assiniboine river trails, or enjoying a race at Assiniboia Downs in the summer. There are a ton of options!
10. The people are amazing. Read the license plate - friendly Manitoba! I moved here from a small town, and was worried about meeting new people and Mom groups - finding friends. But Winnipeg has absolutely welcomed me with open arms.
11. The majority of the population in Manitoba actually lives in Winnipeg. However, there are other great alternatives in the province to living in the province. Brandon is the next biggest City, and it is halfway between Winnipeg and Regina, Saskatchewan.
12. Real Estate Market. Winnipeg has turned out to be a very stable market for investing in Real Estate. No, we don’t tend to get the huge rates of inflation like some of our major city counterparts, however if you look at Winnipeg home values over the last 50 years, you will see a slow increase in property prices over time. It’s been a very solid and predictable market otherwise, which has allowed many homeowners stable investments.

Winnipeg is a good place to raise a family. Its got the small town feel with the conveniences (and inconveniences) of a the city. Every community has its pros and cons. Its how you adapt to your surroundings.
Agreed 100% Glad to get your take on it too!
Great points. We moved from Toronto to Wpg in 2023. Housing here is SO CHEAP! Kids love their schools. Our commutes to work are so easy and so fast. We used to spend so much time in traffic and it added a lot of stress to our lives. As you said, the downtown is sleepy. Not that much going on. For us, the $$$ we save from low mortgage, etc, we use that to take 2 or 3 int'l trips each year.
I absolutely LOVE this feedback. Thank you so much for watching. It is honestly one of the best cities to raise a family!
The best part is not sitting in rush hour traffic for 2 hours.
Very true! In Toronto, it took me 75 mins to drop off the kids at daycare and then get to work. In Wpg, 20 mins! We have more quality time to spend as a family.@@fuimaygeetang
Im a chef living in Toronto and i me seriously considering Winnipeg work wise do I have a chance
Jennifer. This video was no is top notch keep it up of a
L the research I’ve done on moving to Winnipeg you’ve convinced me. I’ll see you soon and yes in Toronto landlords be like.. wtf save that shit for the weekend no laundry 😅
This is a good summary, except it doesn't mention the arts scene. For a city its size, Winnipeg has an abnormally high number arts facilities, including art galleries, a symphony, an opera company, Fringe, Jazz and Folk Festivals, Folklorama, theatre companies, music clubs, several recording studios, book stores, and thousands of citizens who patronize or particpate in the arts.
Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated! I think I only touched upon Folklorama if I'm remembering correctly - but you are correct, a high number of arts facilities!
Comprehensive and honest! I just moved here a few months ago. I agree with everything except needing a car. The bus system works just fine for me even in the winter. Maybe because I live right across the bus stop. Uber is pretty reasonable if I’m running late and groceries can be delivered to my doorstep for cheap
Great feedback! To be honest, I just caught my first Uber the other day... so I'm new to the Uberverse! Thanks for the insight!
How about rent cost? Is there enough houses or rooms available for rent?
😂you must be out of shape
@@annemarieb8381I think you'll find rent prices more reasonable than any other big city in Canada tbh.
I loved this video! Very well explained
Thanks Debbie!!
Thanks for your valuable information. I am prospective students looking forward to move to Canada. You clarified most of my questions and you have removed my bad impression regarding the Manitoba
Awesome - glad you found value in it!!! We did shoot an area on top areas to live in in Winnipeg, let me see if I can find a link for you!
Well covered. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent, really honest information. Thank you :)
No problem. Thanks for watching!!
In 2006 me and my family were supposed to move to Edmonton from Nova Scotia but we stopped here at my mom's aunt's house for the night and my dad decided to move here because he really likes this city and he probably didn't want to do more traveling LOL. I grew up here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Awesome!!! So glad that you made the stop in 2006!!!
Jen Thank you so much for this video. I live in the Czech Republic and I was just curious what life in Winnipeg is and your video was so helpful. Greetings to Canada!
Awesome. Glad you found value in this!
Very useful information.
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
great video thank u so much
No problem at all. Glad you enjoyed it!!
THANKS DEAR FOR THIS VIDEO AND PLEASE KEEP IT UP
Will do!
Thank you for sharing 😊
Happy to do so. Thanks for watching!
Good information. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for this video
My pleasure!
In term of Coldness, wet cold feels much colder than dry cold, bc and Ontario have wet cold, Manitoba has dry cold, global warming also makes Winnipeg warmer than I came 20+ years ago. I was born and lived in a mega city in Warm weather for 20 years, overall I don’t think winter is terrible here
Awesome. Thanks so much for the feedback!!! And yes, humidity plays a HUGE factor on just how cold it can or can't feel here!
Just to add about things to do in Winnipeg, especially if you're looking for night life. Winnipeg (precovid) has definitely seen a resurgence over the last few years. Unfortunately, due to covid restrictions, these bars and venues have taken a hit, but hopefully, we will see another resurgence. The food scene in Winnipeg is also great. However, like most consumer items, expect a price increase...but inflation is hitting all of Canada, not just Winnipeg.
Thanks for highlighting the positives in Winnipeg.
I lived in Toronto for 3 years before moving back home to Winnipeg and just like Wpg, there are certain neighborhoods in Toronto that you do not want to venture into at night. As for Toronto's downtown ...there are only certain parts of the downtown that stay busy. It's not as lively as people think (I know cause I lived downtown Toronto for a few months). Certainly Winnipeg needs to improve its downtown "quality of life", but I think it's improving with all the "revitilizing" going in Winnipeg's core.
Again, thanks for the video! 😁
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. And, WELCOME back!
Thank you for the video. We are moving back to The Peg after moving to the Vancouver area in the mid-80's. Much less expensive to retire in Manitoba.
Glad it was helpful! And we are seeing a lot of this! Also - our winter has very closely resembled a Vancouver winter this year!
I disagree with a few things you've said. First, slum seems like a harsh word for downtown. I moved here from Toronto. I live and work downtown and I love the lifestyle. There are definitely transient people downtown, but generally they don't cause any trouble and you will find transient people in any downtown core. I have lived here since 2016 and I haven't owned a car since I moved here. I love walking and biking and I take the transit, cabs and have a membership with Peg City Car Co-op. The city is so small, you really don't need a car. Especially if you live within walking distance to work. Also, the culture in Winnipeg is like most big-city suburbs - most people have cars. So if you go out with a friend, just ride in their car. Winnipeg is one of the few capital cities in Canada where you can easily afford to live in comfortable to luxurious accommodation in a downtown setting.
Agreed, and love your take! Thanks for watching!
@Eru O it’s too bad you didn’t see it pre-covid. It’s not the same. Hopefully it will come back to life.
@Eru O Thanks for the feedback!
Sounds interested
What a load of garbage
Go back to Toronto
Nice video thank you
Thanks for watching!
Winnipeg my city I live since 2002 thank for your nice report about winnipeg
Awesome. Glad you've had a great 20 years here!!
Hello Jennifer I'm so happy to hear that greatful information from Canada in city Winnipeg/ 😊 and Winnipeg is seems my family future 😊 and I'm so glad to hear this information in city Winnipeg 😊😊
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Don't waste your money on running block heaters in your cars in the winter, what you need is a car BATTERY HEATER. Most engines have hard time turning over in the cold not because the oil gets slow moving but the main reason is in the cold the BATTERY outputs only a small percentage of crank AMPs and has hard time turning the engine. Battery heaters use about 10% of electricity of block heaters. Also make sure to use synthetic oil in your engine which doesn't get thick and slow moving in the cold and this will help even more. Synthetic oil is more expensive but again you save more money from not using a block heater and also synthetic oil lasts twice as long as regular oil so you only need to stop for oil changes half as many times. We have been using this combo of battery heater and synthetic oil in our cars (all parked outside all year around) for many years and never had any problem starting any of them. Use a car battery heater and save a lot on energy cost. Thank you for the video Jennifer!
Why thank you for the tips, too!
To clarify on the weather, winter average during Dec, Jan, Feb, and March is between -15C to -25C. Summer average June, July, Aug, and Sept, is between +20C to +35. Only once in my 40+ years here, has it ever been -50C, and only a dozen or so times has it been worse than -40C with the wind-chill...but yes, when it's cold, you best have a warm place close by!
Thanks for the input!
I concur. I've lived here for over 60 years and I'd say that each winter there are about ten or fifteen really cold days. Most winter days are cold, but not to the point where you cannot be comfortable outside. If you dress properly you will be fine.
@@stephengillies5360 100%
40 years in ONE place, I would've died and come back to life 4 times.
I think I will visit Winnipeg in summer. Thank you Jennifer
Awesome!!!
My friend is moving to winnepeg for his studies may god bless him he can achieve his goals soon ❤️
Amazing. Welcome to your friend!
Thanks!
My pleasure!
Great information
Thank you!
I was born in Winnipeg myself.. it always sounds so bad but it's really localized.. there's some really safe places to live and not worry. Avoid the west end, north end, maybe the west Broadway area... St James is iffy but honestly, I work downtown, and there's alot of good things happening. Don't take the stigma for fact.. Definitely stay out of the west or north end, and the point Douglas area
Downtown is nice if you get out of portage place I'm thinking. City place is iffy. Come to Hargrave Street Market. It's so much safer. It's really localized
Thanks for your expertise!!
Very very good coverage, and thank you for being positive when so many are not lol.
I wouldn't say that you need a car, i used to get everywhere on a bike even during the winter and many many people don't bother with cars. I've also driven for 20 years without winter tires but moving here for the first time might take some getting used to lol
I live in my dream house in the North End and I'll probably be here until I croak lol. All the bad rap we get is just complete misconceptions.
Agreed!
I lived in Winnipeg for 6 years. I now live in Toronto. I love Toronto, I wouldnt want to live anywhere else. The culture and food here is unreal, its fantastic. There is no comparison. Oh and the weather too...its great.
Many thanks for all these informations...Could you , please tell us next video about Universities with more details.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Greetings from Algeria
Hi there! There are a few major Universities here - University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, Canadian Mennonite University, and Universite De Saint Boniface. I attended University of Manitoba and loved it for both my undergraduate and MBA. The programming was great.
Great video, awesome details. Is there a great area to focus on for rental properties and a solid ROI ?
There are plenty of solid areas for solid ROI. But the returns can be different depending on area. If you are looking for cash on cash return, you might look at some areas where property prices are lower and monthly cash flow is high - but in the long run these areas don't appreciate as much. Alternatively, you can look in faster-appreciating areas but the monthly cash flow may not be as lucrative. Although, I have found in almost all areas of Winnipeg that it is still reasonable to find deals that provide positive cash flow!
@@TheJenniferQueenTeam thanks ! Ideally, are bigger objective is a better appreciation with better tenants, not sure entirely the rental demand nor rental amount is.
@@canucklehead234 Great! It really depends on area and state of home, but for our rental properties in the better appreciating areas, rent starts at $1500 per month for a three bedroom home. However, if it is decently renovated the numbers can be higher!
I live in Winnipeg but I agree on the first question that is “crime” yeah it’s like gta out here.
Thanks for your insights!
I lived there for many many years and did my Uni there. When I moved to Ottawa, the peg is thought of as a slum. I really liked the place. Now I've been in the UK (not london) for 20 years and my wife and I are now planning of moving back to Winnipeg.
Houses in Winnipeg affordable for us aside from the taxes. The land transfer tax is quite high and the solicitor fees are quite high compared to the UK. Crikey. But we'll make a go of it!
Love it - and welcome back! The reputation beyond our borders has always surprised me - because it truly is a wonderful place to live!
I lived in Winnipeg for 4 years. In the winter, if the wind is coming at you from the side, the cold feels like it's going to cut your nose off...loll...that's what happens when it's so cold!
Lol. Still feels like that some days. Mostly just the fingers though when we are trying to open a lockbox!!
It’s great to live in Winnipeg I live here for 50 years
Awesome. I LOVE this!!
There are tons of great restaurants in downtown Winnipeg, also I live in a brand new luxury condo myself.
Awesome!!! Glad you enjoy it :)
How much is 3 bedroom condo in a safe neighborhood in winnipeg?. Thank you.
Thanks for the video.. Wpg certainly is getting better.
Agreed! We love it here!
The big difference between Winnipeg and any other big city in N. America is the lack of Expressway Highways besides the Perimeter Hwy (Which itself has taken a long time to finally turn into a real highway like what other cities have). Because there are no expressways, it can take forever to get from one side of town to the other.
Also, the city is addicted to speed camera revenues.
And by forever, let's keep things in perspective to other large cities. For instance, clients moving here from BC tell me their daily commute is 3 hours from one end of the City to another. Here, it would be 45 minutes...
My husband and I recently retired and are looking at moving to Winnipeg. What have you heard is the best area of the city to buy a home for young retirees in terms of activities (clubs, recreational activities, learn to play bridge, learn to curl..etc) and opportunities to meet people?
There are some really great areas in the city for all of these activities! I would highly recommend River Heights, Riverview or Norwood flats as they are all somewhat centrally located and close to a variety of community clubs that offer these activities! They are also all close to green space as well.
You're going to want to look at the North End or Point Douglas. Highly desirable and affordable.
GOOD VIDEO!! I want to become a real state agent.
Do it!
I feel like there should be a yearly update video on cost of living in Winnipeg
Sure!
@@TheJenniferQueenTeam how cast cost of living changed from when this video was posted?
@@markusaurelius8822 We have seen some increases - hydro rates have remained the same. Cost of groceries have increased here and are on par with the rest of Canada in terms of increases. Home prices also had a sharp incline followed by a bit of a correction to early 2021 pricing. I will try and do more thorough research and post a new video!
@@TheJenniferQueenTeam How sharp? I am looking to leave BC because of the housing situation and I was hoping other parts of Canada weren't suffering the same fate
@@markusaurelius8822 The sharp incline in prices was about 20% from the beginning of the pandemic. However, with the correction currently happening some are speculating we will lose about 12% of the home values - and thus be up by about 8% from when the pandemic started.
Who's the best to talk to about renting a Room. In Winnipeg Iam in Ontario moving to Winnipeg
Hi Jack - unfortunately nobody on our team deals in rental contracts. We all specialize in resale or new construction. Truthfully, there isn't an organized rental market here. People usually do best by searching Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, and Rentals.ca
Thank you Jennifer for all informations you have mentioned actually I’m moving to Winnipeg from Hamilton Ontario and i have 2 questions regarding car insurance and townhouses rental prices cause i have a family and i need a car for easy moving around the city and also will drive to work
Thanks
Hi Peter - for rentals, that is actually not an area we work in. We are strictly resale or new construction purchases. Even my own rentals, I hire a company to rent out! Your best bet is to check out Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji and Rentals.ca. For car insurance, it is handled publicly here and will depend on a variety of factors that are quite personal (age, driving history, car type, etc). I would call MPI as they can likely give you a quote by phone! If you want to try their online calculator, it can be found here: apps.mpi.mb.ca/irc/vehicle.asp#
@@TheJenniferQueenTeam thank you so much for your reply I appreciate it
@@petergeorgy1984 No problem!
hi there! i've been following your channel for a while and i have a question. i heard each province has their own pet rules for housing and renting, about how many animals you could have. is there a limit in manitoba? i have 3 cats and 2 dogs, i will have some problem?
To be honest, this is not our area of expertise as we don't work in the rental space. A new pet by-law was passed this past year and you can see the original by-laws as well as amendments here: clkapps.winnipeg.ca/dmis/docext/viewdoc.asp?documenttypeid=1&docid=6054&doctype=o. I believe that you would be within the limits of the rules, so long as you don't let your pets loose outside or chain them up for extended periods of time. There is additional information in this article: www.winnipeg.ca/people-culture/our-city-our-stories/new-rules-winnipeg-pet-owners-and-businesses And be sure your pets are spayed/neutered within the given timeframes and that they are licensed with the City!
@@TheJenniferQueenTeam Thank you for the repplying, it helped me a lot! I was lost about these doubts, thank you so much!
And in case someone has the same question as me, the limit of pets per house is 6 ;)
@@paulamachado6714 Awesome - and good to know! I saw the option to apply for additional but didn't see the existing limit. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm sure you have helped someone :)
I live here. The down town core is totally different during the day than it is at night. I would advise anyone to avoid downtown at night.
For sure. It is abuzz during the day. Our City is working hard to keep it abuzz at night too, but we aren't there yet!
Good day
Any information about housing opportunities around the University of Winnipeg and the costs. A detailed video on this would help a lot
The West End would be closer as would the Glasshouse condos videos - we will work on a downtown video in the coming months.
@@TheJenniferQueenTeam can you kindly share the link to those videos

how long is the warm season if I bring a motorcycle ?
Hmmm... that's a good question. Snow usually starts to stick around November and has melted by mid-April. The City is usually pretty fast to clean the roads - so I would like to think around a 6-month window if you are okay with biking in the cooler weather. I'm not that versed in what appropriate motorcycle weather is though!
You can get your bike on the road in April. One problem is that there is a lot of sand and gravel on the streets from the winter. They don't seem to get the streets swept until the 3rd week of April I ride from May to the middle of Oct. After that the nights are getting chilly. At the end of Oct. the snow can come anytime. I have to warn you that motorcycle insurance insurance is very expensive here. I pay around $1200 for the riding season. That would be about the average.
Mam i am from india and im looking forward to have higher studies in winnipeg. Do you think its a good option for study + work purposes and good living?
Yes, I think that Winnipeg is affordable yet provides some of the best schooling opportunities in all of Canada. Definitely worth checking out!
Mam, can you please tell about some of courses diploma and best colleges for an art student
23 years in Brandon were enough for me. Retired back to Ontario south of Owen Sound.

Nice presentation. I would have liked a bit more info from the perspective of someone moving from the US. I suppose immigration would need it's own video?

@@kanikasingh889 You are welcome!
You'll be one of many East Indian students living in the city. Most rent rooms or basements. Some get together and rent houses. The areas mentioned earlier are close to the UofM, but there are other areas close by also, such as Lindenwoods and Bridgewater (a newer area). Last point. A lot, and I mean a lot of East Indian students like to live in the Maples area. It is not close by, but the area is like Mini India. The area has tons of East Indian restaurants, East Indian grocery stores, a few Gurdwaras (probably spelt that wrong) and a theatre that usually show Punjabi/Hindi movies on Sundays. It is fill with East Indian families who rent out their basements or rooms to students. The area has tons of East Indian students renting. It has come to the point that I see more East Indian people walking the streets in the area than White folks.
@@sonytoor542 Thanks so much for sharing your insights!!
Like other cities in Canada, Phentermine drug s do make more crimes in Winnipeg than before, I lived in Winnipeg since 97, overall it is a fine place to live, don’t need to believe the data about most murders per 100 people, I used to live in west end area which is a so called bad area for many years and it is fine for me
Super helpful. Thanks for the local insights!
i want to know about job opportunities for international students
Hi Shanuka, I can't speak to that as much, as it isn't in my area of expertise. What I can tell you is that I know that the Universities and Colleges all have great programs to help place students in jobs, and if you want an overall idea of job offerings here then Indeed is a great place to start to see prospects. Many service businesses are understaffed and could definitely use the help too!
I like doing GYM , so how much a membership is costed there annually overall?thank you so much if you answered my question
That's a tough question to answer! There are some gyms that offer more limited services and only bill about $20 per month. There are some though that have an abundance of services and charge closer to $100 per month. It depends on what you are looking for!
The Pan Am pool is your best value. Run by the city so the Rates are lower than most Gyms.Also you have indoor track all year and a swimming option as well . Easy to get to.Just don’t expect a lot of high tech machines and because it’s City they are closed on all holidays
How about the job oppourinty for new comers with no experience?
I guess it depends on what you hope to get into - but I would say I see a lot of local businesses hiring!
Nothing wrong with Winnipeg MB. Crime is not as bad as they mentioned. Yes certain neighborhood are dangerous,but there are plenty of areas which are super safe . Buses are very available most of time but same neighborhood buses don't run 24hrs. Bus shelters are not warmed in winter, that's downside side. Winter is harsh as western INTRARIO.
Winter is more harsh than Western Ontario - but equivalent to North Western Ontario (we are only two hours away from Kenora, Ontario). However, the windchill has a more profound effect here which does make it feel cooler.
So why would people live in the dangerous areas?
For the fun?
Liberal jackwangs pretending that everyone can just move to safer areas.
How about rent cost? Is there enough houses or rooms available for rent?
Hi Annemarie - there isn't an organized real estate market for rentals here, unfortunately. As a result, we don't work in that area. The best spots to find available rentals is usually between Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, and Rentals.ca as well as checking property management pages.

@@jesikafernando9429 It IS!
I hear police every day
What area of the city are you in?
You hear police in every city everyday.
No jobs, unfiendly people, extremely cold
I would agree on the periods of extreme cold - although I write this as it sits at 32 degrees ABOVE Celsius... the no jobs and unfriendly people I would debate you on. Both are supplied in abundance here!
OMG, I was thinking this is a comedy video. Opening with the crime in Winnipeg? Everything had a “But”…I’m still laughing. Did Jennifer move back to civilization, poor thing. I think she should redo this as a total comedy routine. So very funny.
You sound like an absolutely wonderful human being. Keep leaving this world a better place, Sonya Rosen! :) Also, I hope your bunion surgery went well.
Best thing is don’t move there
Things You SHOULD Know Before Moving to Winnipeg : Just pick a different place
Do they accomodate blacks? like can a black man buy a house there?
Of course!
Good question!!!
