Arnhem Place is one of Regina's most character-filled and sought-after central neighbourhoods. Nestled directly east of Wascana Centre and south of College Avenue, it offers an unbeatable location for those who want to be in the heart of the action. Whether you are a professor at the University of Regina, a professional working downtown, or a family who loves the park, Arnhem Place puts you within walking distance of the best culture and recreation the city has to offer.
Living in Arnhem Place: The Parkside Lifestyle
Living in Arnhem Place means your backyard is essentially Wascana Centre. Residents can easily walk to the Saskatchewan Science Centre, the Kramer Imax Theatre, and the extensive walking paths around Wascana Lake. In the summer, the area comes alive with joggers, cyclists, and families heading to Candy Cane Park.
It is also incredibly convenient for commuters. The Broad Street and College Avenue corridors allow you to reach Downtown or the University of Regina campus in under 5 minutes.
Real Estate Profile: Historic & Eclectic
Arnhem Place real estate is a charming mix of old and new. The streets are lined with "war-time" homes (1940s and 50s character bungalows) featuring original hardwood floors and mature trees.
However, because the location is so prime, we are seeing a wave of modern infill development. It is common to see a brand-new modern 2-storey home sitting right next to a historic cottage, creating a vibrant and eclectic streetscape.

FAQ: Arnhem Place vs. Broders Annex
Arnhem Place is often considered the "premium" sibling to Broders Annex (Al Ritchie). While both feature similar post-war character homes, Arnhem Place commands a higher price point because it sits West of Winnipeg Street—directly bordering Wascana Centre. If you want to walk your dog to the lake in 2 minutes, you choose Arnhem Place.
What schools are in Arnhem Place?
Arnhem Place is arguably the best location in the city for high school students. Both Miller Comprehensive (Catholic) and Balfour Collegiate (Public) are located on College Avenue, right on the northern edge of the neighbourhood. For elementary, students typically attend Douglas Park School or St. Augustine School nearby, with Ecole Massey School as an option for French Immersion.
Is this area good for nature lovers?
It is unbeatable. Arnhem Place is effectively the residential wing of Wascana Park. Residents have immediate access to Candy Cane Park, the Saskatchewan Science Centre, and the entire Wascana waterfowl park loop. It is widely regarded as one of the most walkable neighbourhoods in Regina.
Market Pulse
Arnhem Place is a "high demand" niche market. Because of the proximity to the Park and the University of Regina, prices per square foot are higher here than in other central areas. We see strong competition for "fixer-upper" bungalows suitable for renovation, as well as for wide lots that developers want for infill projects.
