What is the difference between Glencairn and Glencairn Village?

Geographically, they are part of the same broader area in East Regina. However, Glencairn Village refers to the northern section (closer to Dewdney Avenue). The Village is anchored by St. Theresa School and the Clarence Mahon Arena, and features some slightly newer developments interspersed with classic 1970s and 1980s homes. Glencairn proper is the southern half closer to Victoria Avenue.

Is this a good neighbourhood for first-time buyers?

Absolutely. Glencairn Village is widely considered one of Regina's top neighbourhoods for first-time buyers. The median home price typically sits well below the city's single-family average, meaning buyers can get into a detached home with a yard—often a solid, reliable bungalow or bi-level—without stretching their budget to the breaking point.
