Transition Area vs. Downtown — what's the difference?

While they are right next to each other, the Transition Area (South of Victoria Ave) feels significantly more residential and green than the Central Business District (North of Victoria Ave). The Transition Area has tree-lined streets and setbacks, whereas Downtown is dominated by office towers and concrete.

Why is it called the Transition Area?

The name comes from its function: it acts as the bridge transitioning the city from the high-rise commercial towers of Downtown to the lush, residential greenery of Wascana Park. Living here means you get the best of both worlds — you are a 5-minute walk from your office tower and a 5-minute walk from the lakeshore path.

Is parking difficult in the Transition Area?

Because of its proximity to downtown and the hospital, street parking is in high demand. Most of the residential streets in the Transition Area are designated as Permit Parking Zones (usually 2-hour limits for non-residents). Residents can purchase a low-cost annual permit from the City, which allows them to park on their block without time restrictions.

What type of homes are found in the Transition Area?

This is one of Regina's most historic districts. You will primarily find character homes built between 1910 and 1930, featuring original hardwood, large front verandas, and mature elm trees. It also has a unique mix of high-density living, with several older low-rise apartment buildings and modern infill condos tucked in among the heritage houses.
