Skyview is the premier destination for executive living in Northwest Regina. Developed in the 2000s and 2010s, this neighbourhood was designed to take advantage of the natural topography, offering some of the only true "walk-out" basement lots in the city. With strict architectural controls ensuring high curb appeal and expansive views of the prairie horizon, Skyview attracts professionals and families seeking a modern, high-end lifestyle.
Living in Skyview: Parks & Privacy
**Skyview** is quieter than its neighbours. Because it is located on the edge of the city, there is zero "through traffic"—everyone driving here lives here. The community is centered around **Fafard Park** and **Iannone Park**, which feature modern play structures and walking paths that connect seamlessly to the city's larger trail network.
While purely residential, you are never far from action. The **SkyPark** entertainment centre (mini-golf, go-karts) is just around the corner, and the groceries and gyms of Rochdale Boulevard are a quick 3-minute drive south.
Real Estate Profile: Modern Luxury
**Skyview real estate** stands out for its size and style. You won't find small bungalows here. The market is dominated by large 2-storey homes (2,000+ sqft) with triple attached garages and modern stone-and-stucco exteriors.
The "crown jewels" of the neighbourhood are the homes backing onto green spaces. Many of these lots allow for **walk-out basements**, a highly coveted feature that floods the lower level with natural light and provides direct access to the backyard.
Schools near Skyview
Skyview does not have schools within its own borders, which reduces morning traffic congestion. Instead, students are bused or driven to nearby top-rated schools:
• St. Angela Merici School (Catholic / French Immersion)
• McNeil School (Public)
• Centennial School (Public)
High school students have easy access to **Winston Knoll** and **Riffel**, located just a short drive down Rochdale Blvd.
FAQ: Skyview vs. The Creeks?
These are two of Regina's top luxury areas. **The Creeks** (in the Southeast) is known for massive estate lots and higher price points ($800k+). **Skyview** (Northwest) offers similar modern luxury build quality but at a slightly more accessible price point ($550k - $750k), often with better sunset views due to the elevation.
What makes the lots here unique?
Skyview is one of the few neighbourhoods in Regina designed specifically to offer **walkout basements**. Because the land is graded with significant elevation changes, many homes here back onto open green spaces or the storm channel with full lower-level patios, offering prairie views that are hard to find in flatter subdivisions.
Are there schools in the neighbourhood?
No, Skyview is purely residential. However, it is effectively served by the schools in the adjacent neighbourhoods. Most public school students are bussed to **Henry Janzen School**, while Catholic students attend **St. Nicholas School** in the nearby Rosewood/Maple Ridge area. High schools (Winston Knoll and Riffel) are a short drive down Rochdale Boulevard.
How strict are the building standards?
Skyview is known for having strict **architectural controls**. To protect property values and curb appeal, the developer enforced guidelines on exterior finishes, driveway paving, and fencing. This has created a cohesive, high-end look where you won't find the "cookie-cutter" vinyl siding repetition common in some entry-level new areas.
Market Pulse
Skyview is a "move-up" market. We rarely see first-time buyers here. The market is currently balanced, meaning buyers have good selection. However, homes with **triple garages** and **backing green space** are selling at a premium and moving much faster than standard interior lots.
