Goodfellow Realty Understands the Unique Needs of Families Relocating to Winnipeg

Are you and your family thinking about relocating to Winnipeg? You’re not alone. Every year, more families are drawn to Winnipeg’s affordability, job market, and welcoming communities. Whether you’re relocating from another province or simply moving across Manitoba, making the move with your family is a big decision.

At Goodfellow Realty Ltd., we’ve helped many families make a smooth transition into and out of Winnipeg. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about moving to Winnipeg—from housing and schools to healthcare and lifestyle—and how we can support you every step of the way.

Why Families Are Relocating to Winnipeg

Winnipeg continues to offer one of the most affordable housing markets in Canada. Families settling in Winnipeg are often surprised by how much home they can afford—whether that means a bigger yard, extra bedrooms, or proximity to parks and schools.

Manitoba also has no land transfer tax under certain price thresholds, and the cost of living is lower than in many other provinces.

Relocating to Winnipeg: What to Know About Schools

Education is a key consideration when relocating to Winnipeg. The city offers a wide range of public, private, French immersion, and religious school options. Some districts also have specialized programs in the arts, sciences, and trades.

We recommend exploring the Manitoba School Directory to find the right fit for your children. Our agents can guide you to family-friendly communities with great school catchments.

Healthcare Access When Relocating to Winnipeg

When relocating to Winnipeg, you’ll need to apply for the Manitoba Health Services Insurance Plan (MHSIP). Your previous province’s coverage may stay active during the transition period.

Winnipeg has top-tier hospitals, walk-in clinics, and family doctors. Our team can help you choose a neighborhood with easy access to healthcare facilities.

Will Winnipeg Feel Like Home After Relocating?

Winnipeg is known for its diverse neighborhoods, green spaces, cultural institutions, and family-friendly events. Whether you love festivals, outdoor recreation, or quiet suburban living, there’s a place for everyone.
