20 REASONS WHY WINNIPEG IS ONE OF THE BEST KEPT SECRETS IN CANADA!

Winnipeg is the place to be. We have clean air (no smog alerts), lots of room to move, big back yards, more green space than any other city in Canada (seen from the air Winnipeg looks like one giant park), close and affordable cottage country, inexpensive housing and a cultural scene famous world-wide.

The Royal Winnipeg Mint on the east side of the city.

1) THE MOST AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE COUNTRY!

A new 3 Bdrm home in Amber Trails. Typical price for 1500 SF $350K

Tired of that one hour plus commute everyday to work? Looking to live in a house that's more than an apartment with a driveway? Looking for a place where you can bring up kids in a friendly community with all the extras you come to expect from a vibrant multi-cultural city? 

The average house price in Winnipeg is only $228,000 compared to $600,000 in Vancouver and $550,000 in Toronto. That leaves lots of money for a great winter vacation every year to somewhere hot (and of course an awesome Home Theatre system). And in Winnipeg you actually have the time to enjoy these things. You save 2-3 hours a day on a long commute to work so you get to spend more time with friends and family.
