Optimum Market Pulse · Highland Park
Live MLS® listing data · Optimum Realty Inc.
Highland Park is one of North Central Regina's most affordable established neighbourhoods. Tucked between Albert Street and Broad Street, from 1st Avenue North up to 6th Avenue North, it is a compact community of older character homes on generous lots. Everything here is close: downtown is a few minutes away, the commercial strip along Albert Street covers daily errands, and a full-service park sits right in the middle of the neighbourhood. For first-time buyers and investors looking for a detached home at one of the lowest entry prices in the city, Highland Park deserves a serious look.
Highland Park — established streets in North Central Regina.
The anchor of the neighbourhood is Imperial Park, a large green space with a spray pad, skateboard area, outdoor rink, walking paths, play structures, ball diamonds, and basketball courts — a genuine four-season hub for the community. The Highland Curling Club sits right beside it, and the Northeast Community Centre runs programming for all ages out of the park area.
Daily life is convenient. The Albert Street corridor on the neighbourhood's western edge carries restaurants, services, and transit, and the library's Regent Place branch is close by. Downtown is a straight five-minute drive south.
Highland Park real estate is dominated by older housing stock — wartime-era and 1940s–50s bungalows and 1.5-storey homes, with a healthy mix of duplexes and suited properties. Lots are typically generous, with back-lane access and room for large detached garages.
Prices here sit well below the city average, which makes the neighbourhood a consistent draw for first-time buyers who want to stop renting and for investors targeting strong rental yields. Many homes have separate basement entrances, and legal or non-regulation suites are common throughout the area.
The neighbourhood has an unusually strong school presence for its size:
For high school, families are a short drive from Thom Collegiate (Public) and Archbishop M.C. O'Neill (Catholic) in the north end.
Broker's Market Note
Highland Park is a true entry-level and investor market. Purchase prices are among the lowest in the city for detached homes, and the housing stock — solid older bungalows, duplexes, and suited properties — lends itself to rental income and sweat-equity renovation. Buyers who can see past dated finishes are often rewarded here, because the numbers work in a way they simply don't in newer areas.
Highland Park sits in North Central Regina, bounded by Albert Street on the west, Broad Street on the east, 1st Avenue North on the south, and 6th Avenue North on the north. That puts it about a five-minute drive from the downtown core, with the Albert Street commercial corridor forming its western edge.
Quite a lot for one park: a spray pad and play structures for kids, a skateboard area, basketball courts, ball diamonds, walking paths, and an outdoor rink in the winter. The Highland Curling Club is next door, and the Northeast Community Centre runs programs for all ages. It genuinely functions as the neighbourhood's living room.
Both major systems have an elementary school in or at the edge of the neighbourhood — Imperial Community School (Public) and St. Michael Community School (Catholic) — plus Mother Teresa Middle School, an independent school serving grades 6–8. High school students typically head to Thom Collegiate or Archbishop M.C. O'Neill in the north end.
It is one of the stronger rental-yield areas in Regina. Entry prices are low, lots are large, and duplexes and homes with basement suites are common, so the rent-to-price math tends to work. The central location — minutes to downtown and the north-end employment areas — keeps tenant demand steady.
