Churchill Downs Real Estate
Churchill Downs is one of the most practical and accessible neighbourhoods in North Regina. Located immediately north of the Ring Road, it is a favourite for workers in the nearby Ross Industrial Park and first-time buyers seeking affordability without sacrificing convenience. Developed primarily in the 1950s and 60s, this community offers solid construction, generous lots, and a quiet, blue-collar atmosphere that feels like a small town within the city.
Living in Churchill Downs: Ease & Access
The biggest advantage of living in Churchill Downs is the commute. You have immediate access to the Ring Road and Winnipeg Street, meaning you can get to almost any job site in the city in under 15 minutes. For recreation, residents head to North East Park, a massive green space featuring sports fields, a spray pad, and plenty of room for dogs to run.
While it is largely residential, you are just a 2-minute drive from Northgate Mall and the shopping amenities along Albert Street North.

Market Pulse
Churchill Downs is an "entry-level powerhouse." It is one of the few places in Regina where you can still find a move-in ready detached home with a garage for under $275,000. Because of this, we see high competition from both first-time buyers and rental investors whenever a clean listing hits the market.
