Westerra is Regina's newest frontier. Located at the extreme west end of Dewdney Avenue, this master-planned community was built for those who value modern design and wide-open prairie views. It offers a distinct alternative to the busy East End, providing a quieter, slower-paced lifestyle while still being just minutes from major employment hubs like the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) and the RCMP Depot. With its colourful architectural guidelines and landscaped parks, Westerra brings a fresh, vibrant look to West Regina.
Living in Westerra: The Commuter's Edge
**Westerra** is strategically positioned for the working professional. Commutes to the **GTH** or **Evraz** are practically non-existent—you are there in 5 minutes. Even downtown is a straight shot down Dewdney Avenue.
The community is designed around **Westerra Park**, a central green space with a cricket pitch, basketball courts, and playgrounds. While retail is still developing within the subdivision, you are a short drive from the shopping amenities in Dieppe and Normanview.
Real Estate Profile: Modern & Accessible
**Westerra real estate** offers some of the most competitive pricing for new construction in the city. The area features a mix of:
- Laned Homes: These detached homes with rear garages are the signature of the neighbourhood, offering charming front porches and efficient layouts.
- Townhomes: Modern complexes (like the Horizon developments) provide maintenance-free living at an entry-level price point.
Schools serving the area
As a newer developing community, Westerra does not yet have its own school. Students are currently bussed to nearby established neighbourhoods:
• Walker School (Public Elementary - Bussed)
• St. Bess / St. Josaphat (Catholic Elementary - Bussed)
• Luther College (Private High School - Nearby)
• Martin Collegiate (Public High School - Bussed)
FAQ: Is Westerra too far out?
It can feel like it on a map, but the traffic flow makes it very accessible. Because you don't have to fight the congestion of the East End (Victoria Ave), getting Downtown from Westerra often takes the same amount of time as getting there from The Greens on Gardiner. It is also arguably the closest residential community to the **Airport**.
What is the "West Side Advantage" for commuting?
Westerra offers a commute that the East End cannot match. Because it sits directly on **Dewdney Avenue**, residents have a straight, 10-minute shot into the downtown core without ever hitting the Ring Road traffic jams. It is also the closest residential community to the **RCMP Depot** and the **Regina International Airport**, making it a top choice for employees of those hubs.
Are there schools in the neighbourhood?
Not yet. Westerra is still in its growth phase, so there are no schools inside the subdivision boundaries. Students are bussed to nearby established neighbourhoods. Public school students typically attend **Walker School** (in Rosemont), while Catholic students are bussed to **St. Augustine School**. High school students generally attend **Martin Collegiate** or **O’Neill**.
What makes the park unique?
Beyond the standard playgrounds, Westerra is home to Regina’s first purpose-built **cricket pitch**. This facility has become a major draw for the city’s growing cricket community. The neighbourhood is also designed with a "complete community" model, meaning the retail hub (Westerra Market) is walkable from the residential streets, unlike the car-dependent layout of some older suburbs.
Market Pulse
Westerra is a magnet for **first-time homebuyers**. The price gap between a new build here versus Harbour Landing or The Towns can be significant. We also see high demand from **investors** looking to rent to employees at the nearby industrial parks and GTH, as rental inventory in the West End is generally older.
