Rosemont is one of Regina's most character-rich and affordable neighbourhoods. Built largely in the post-war era (1940s and 50s), it is defined by its massive elm trees that form a canopy over the streets in the summer. It offers a "small town feel" right in the city, located just west of Lewvan Drive. For first-time buyers who want a detached home with a real yard for the price of a condo elsewhere, Rosemont is the undisputed leader.
