Live MLS® listing data · Optimum Realty Inc.
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.
Rosemont — elm-canopied streets beside A.E. Wilson Park.
The biggest perk of living in Rosemont is the access to A.E. Wilson Park. This massive green space borders the entire southern and western edge of the neighbourhood. Residents can walk to the creek, access kilometers of paved running paths, or take the kids to the accessible Rick Hansen Optimist Playground.
For daily amenities, the Rosemont Shopping Centre on 4th Avenue is a convenient hub, housing a medical clinic, pharmacy, and local dining options, while Lewvan Drive connects you to the rest of the city in minutes.
Rosemont real estate is famous for its “wartime houses.” These are typically smaller bungalows (700–900 sqft) or 1.5-storey homes sitting on generous lots with back alleys.
These homes are incredibly popular with investors and renovators. They are built with solid fir lumber and concrete foundations (“good bones”), making them perfect candidates for modern renovations. It is one of the few areas left in Regina where you can find excellent value well under the city average price.
Rosemont is a family-friendly zone with schools embedded right in the residential grid:
Broker's Market Note
Rosemont is a “hot spot” for the entry-level market. When interest rates rise, buyers flock here because the mortgage payments are often cheaper than renting. We are seeing a trend of younger buyers purchasing these older homes and adding value through cosmetic updates (paint, flooring, and basement suites).
You will often see these two areas grouped together (“Rosemont/Mount Royal”). Generally, Rosemont is the eastern portion (closer to Lewvan Dr) and is slightly older with more wartime housing. Mount Royal is to the west and features slightly larger bungalows from the late 50s and 60s. Both share the same community association and access to A.E. Wilson Park.
Rosemont is one of the most affordable established neighbourhoods in Regina. It is famous for its “wartime” character homes (1.5 storeys) and solid bungalows built in the 1950s. These homes typically sit on large lots with mature trees, offering buyers a detached home with a big yard for the price of a condo in newer areas.
For nature lovers, the location is unbeatable. Rosemont borders A.E. Wilson Park, one of the city's premier green spaces. Residents can easily access the winding pathways along Wascana Creek, the Jack Staples Arena, and the Rick Hansen Playground without ever getting in a car.
The neighbourhood is anchored by Martin Collegiate, a public high school famous for its premier Sports Academy (baseball, hockey, softball). For younger students, the area is served by Rosemont Community School (Public) and St. Francis Community School (Catholic), both located centrally within the community.
