Crocus Meadows 

Shimmering lakes, breathtaking landscaping, and a stunning network of pathways; who could ask for anything more? However, more is precisely what you get in Crocus Meadows, one of Transcona’s newest communities. 

Though close to all of the amenities you’d expect in a world-class city like Winnipeg, you’ll also be surrounded by the beauty of nature. High-quality schools, excellent shopping opportunities, and a thriving nightlife are all at your fingertips. 

And yet, nestled in the privacy of your backyard, you can forget the cares of the world – at least for a moment. With many brand-new developments available and still in the works, Crocus Meadows offers exciting opportunities for first-time buyers, downsizers, and families looking to upgrade their homes.

Devonshire Village 

It is amazing how fast the future keeps turning into the present, and nowhere is that more obvious than in the new community of Devonshire Village. Here, modern urban living takes on a whole new meaning where city convenience combines with the wonder of nature, resulting in a lifestyle that is both elevated and sustainable. 

Modern amenities feature a low-impact storm water management system and access to public transit. Plus, a community park with a playground and an off-leash dog park for both large and small breeds make Devonshire Village a welcoming place to all!

Mission Gardens 

Located approximately 30 minutes from the bustle of downtown Winnipeg, you’ll find the small but mighty residential neighbourhood of Mission Gardens. Though it was once part of the old City of Transcona before it was amalgamated into Winnipeg, residents of the community now enjoy a modern and leisurely lifestyle. 

Outdoor recreational opportunities abound, with attractions like the Transcona Golf Club, South Transcona Community Centre, and Bernie Wolfe Park, which also features an indoor swimming pool.
