Live MLS® listing data · Optimum Realty Inc.
Glen Elm Park is a hidden pocket of affordability in East Regina. Located east of Park Street and south of Dewdney Avenue, this neighbourhood offers incredible value for first-time homebuyers. It is a community of modest, well-built homes situated on generous lots. With its central location, residents enjoy the unique advantage of being just minutes away from both the Downtown core and the East End retail districts, making it one of the most convenient commutes in the city.
Glen Elm Park — quiet 1950s streets minutes from everything.
Glen Elm Park is strategically located. It sits right beside the Ring Road access points and the Ross Industrial Park, making it a favourite for workers who want a short drive home.
Despite being near major roads, the interior streets are surprisingly quiet. Residents gather at the Glen Elm Library and the local outdoor rink, fostering a tight-knit, small-town community vibe.
Glen Elm Park real estate is perfect for those looking to build equity. The housing stock consists almost entirely of 1950s and 60s bungalows ranging from 800 to 1,000 square feet.
These homes are famous for their solid “old growth” lumber construction. While many are sold in original condition, they are easy to renovate. A finished basement here can turn a modest starter home into a functional family property.
The community is anchored by its local public school:
For Catholic education, students typically attend St. Augustine Community School nearby. High school students are in the catchment for Miller Comprehensive and Balfour Collegiate.
Broker's Market Note
Glen Elm Park is a “hotspot” for investors. Because purchase prices are often well below the city average, the rental yield here is excellent. We also see young tradespeople buying here because the large lots often come with (or have room for) massive detached garages for their tools and toys.
These neighbourhoods are neighbours but distinct. Glen Elm Park is older (1950s), located further west (closer to Park St), and features smaller bungalows. Glencairn is larger, newer (1970s), located further east, and features a wider variety of home styles like bi-levels and splits. Generally, Glen Elm Park is slightly more affordable.
The neighbourhood is anchored by Glen Elm Community School (Regina Public), which is located centrally on 10th Avenue. This makes the area very popular for families who want their children to be able to walk to school without crossing major traffic arteries like Victoria Avenue or Dewdney.
It is an excellent, often overlooked location for downtown workers. Because Glen Elm Park sits just south of Dewdney Avenue, residents have a straight, 5-minute drive into the Central Business District. You avoid the heavier congestion found on Victoria Avenue or Arcola Avenue during rush hour.
Residents get the best of both worlds: a quiet residential pocket that is just minutes from the major commercial district. You are a very short drive (or bus ride) from the Victoria Square Mall, the Glencairn Shopping Centre, and the big-box stores (Costco, Superstore) on Victoria Avenue East.
