Optimum Market Pulse · Parkridge
Live MLS® listing data · Optimum Realty Inc.
Parkridge is a classic East Regina family neighbourhood with a famously low turnover rate. Built out largely between the 1980s and early 2000s, this community is heavily residential and purposefully tucked away from major commercial traffic. Because there is no major commercial development directly inside the neighbourhood, the streets remain quiet, the mature tree canopy is stunning, and it feels like a true suburban retreat while still being just a 5-minute drive from the Victoria East shopping corridor.
Parkridge features quiet, tree-lined streets and generous residential lots.
The lifestyle in Parkridge is active and hyper-local. During the summer, Parkridge Park is the undisputed hub of the community, drawing families from all over the east end to its popular splash pad. The neighbourhood's clever design integrates walking paths and green spaces that allow residents to easily navigate to play structures, basketball courts, and baseball diamonds.
For parents, one of the biggest lifestyle upgrades Parkridge offers is independence for the kids: the residential layout allows most children to walk to the local elementary school without ever having to cross a major arterial road.
Parkridge real estate sits squarely in the sweet spot for many buyers: it is more modern than the 1960s builds closer to the city center, but far more affordable than the new constructions in the surrounding deep-east suburbs. The housing mix is diverse, featuring an almost equal split of solid bungalows, practical bi-levels, and spacious 2-storey homes.
While you will find some newer townhome developments mixed in, the primary draw here is the detached single-family home on a generous lot. Because the neighbourhood is so settled, buyers often jump at the chance to purchase a home here to apply their own cosmetic updates.
Education and community life are intertwined in Parkridge, anchored by the local public elementary school right in the neighborhood:
For high school, students are typically in the catchment for:
Broker's Market Note
Patience is required if you want to buy in Parkridge. Inventory here is historically very tight—often hovering around just 2 to 4 active listings at any given time. Homeowners tend to stay long-term, which is a great sign of neighbourhood health, but it means you need to be prepared to act quickly when a property that fits your criteria hits the market.
No, and that is entirely by design. Parkridge is strictly residential, which is the main reason it remains so quiet and free of cut-through traffic. However, you are only a 5-minute drive from all the major big-box stores, groceries, and dining options in the Victoria East commercial district.
It comes down to safety and amenities. The neighbourhood layout allows kids to walk to Henry Braun School without crossing major busy streets. Additionally, Parkridge Park is home to one of East Regina's best summer splash pads and extensive green spaces, making it a natural gathering spot for families.
Because inventory is so low, Parkridge homes are highly desirable. Get a free, accurate evaluation specifically for your street — not a computer-generated estimate.

Residents of **Parliament Place** have the city's best amenities at their doorstep. You can walk to **Superstore**, **GoodLife Fitness**, and the **Regina Public Library** branch at the Golden Mile.
Despite being next to a major hub, the residential crescents behind the mall (like **Goodman Dr** or **Garnet St**) are surprisingly quiet, shielded by mature trees and privacy fences.
**Parliament Place real estate** is diverse. It is one of the few areas in South Regina with a high concentration of **condominiums**, including the famous "Atrium" building and the newer "Parliament Pointe" developments.
The single-family homes here are typically solid 1,000-1,200 sqft bungalows built in the late 1950s and 60s. They are highly sought after for their hardwood floors and proximity to Albert Street transit routes.
Parliament Place is served by excellent South End schools located just blocks away in neighbouring Whitmore Park:
• St. Matthew School (Catholic Elementary)
• Grant Road School (Public Elementary)
• Campbell Collegiate (High School)
It is also very close to the **University of Regina**, making it a prime location for faculty and students.
Geographically, Parliament Place is often considered the northern tip of Whitmore Park (North of Parliament Ave). However, real estate listings often separate it because of the higher density of condos and its specific "Golden Mile" lifestyle. **Parliament Place** feels more urban/mixed-use, while **Whitmore Park** feels like a traditional quiet suburb.
Parliament Place is often considered a "hidden gem" of the South End. It is a small, quiet residential pocket tucked between Albert Street and Rae Street. Because it is surrounded by mature hedges and fences, many people drive past it on Parliament Avenue without realizing a peaceful subdivision exists just behind the commercial strip.
It offers some of the best walkability in the city outside of downtown. Residents are literally across the street from the **Golden Mile Shopping Centre**, giving them immediate foot access to the Superstore, GoodLife Fitness, medical clinics, and numerous restaurants. It is an ideal location for those who prefer to drive less.
The area is a prime location for families with older children. **Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School** (Catholic) is located within the immediate area, allowing teenagers to walk to class in minutes. For public high school students, the renowned **Campbell Collegiate** is just a short distance down the road in nearby Hillsdale.
Parliament Place is a "downsizer" hotspot. The condos here sell very quickly to retirees leaving large homes in Albert Park who want to stay in the South End. The single-family homes are equally competitive, often selling to investors or young professionals who value the walkability over a massive backyard.
