Whitmore Park vs. Hillsdale — what's the difference?

They are side-by-side and very similar. Hillsdale is slightly closer to the University (East of Wascana Parkway) and features slightly larger, more expensive homes. Whitmore Park (West of Wascana Parkway) is generally more affordable and has a higher density of younger families and starter homes. If you are an investor looking for a rental property, both are excellent choices.

Why is Whitmore Park a hotspot for investors?

Whitmore Park is the premier location for student rentals in Regina. Located just west of Albert Street (across from the University of Regina) and directly north of Saskatchewan Polytechnic, it offers a constant stream of tenant demand. The 1960s bungalows found here often feature separate side entrances, making them ideal for developing basement suites.

What makes the Whitmore Park school zone so desirable?

The neighbourhood is the home of Campbell Collegiate, which is widely considered one of the top high schools in the province for both academics and athletics. Many families move into Whitmore Park specifically to ensure their children are in the Campbell catchment area without relying on lottery systems or out-of-area applications.

What is the Whitmore Park lot style?

This area is famous for its mid-century urban forest. The lots are typically large (often 6,000+ square feet) and feature massive, mature elm and ash trees that form a canopy over the streets. Unlike newer subdivisions with saplings, Whitmore Park offers a level of privacy and shade that can only come from 50+ years of growth.
