The Neighbourhood

A Verdant Neighbourhood.

This Charleswood neighbourhood feels like a rural community, although it also boasts all of the urban amenities you’ll need as a resident. It is a green haven for joggers, cyclists, and bird watchers, who embrace a unique blend of forest trail outings and family-friendly eateries. Support local and fuel up at one of your favourite cafés, then get outside and immerse yourself in nature! This is active living at its finest.

These new condos and bungalows are surrounded by various parks, like Assiniboine Forest, the largest urban forest in Canada. There, you can explore over 285 hectares of wilderness and 18 kilometres of all-season trails accessible to walkers, runners, cyclists, and cross-country skiers. You are invited to leave the city behind and recharge amongst the old growth aspen and oak trees, wetlands, 12-acre pond, and open meadows of tall-grass prairie. Sh! If you’re quiet, maybe you’ll encounter one or two of the Forest’s resident white-tailed deer!

Hop on the Harte Trail, part of the Trans Canada Trail running 6.5 kilometres between McCreary Road and the Perimeter Highway. Built on an old railway bed, it is intersected by numerous streets providing access to locals via well-worn footpaths meeting the Trail. Marvel at this strip of wilderness yielding fruit-bearing shrubs, Siberian elm trees, and other native plants that thrive naturally.

Additional nearby parks include Tom Chester Park (including Charleswood Dog Park for dog owners), Assiniboine Park, and the verdant Vialoux Drive, leading to the Assiniboine River.
