Bourkevale, Bruce Park, Deer Lodge, Grace Hospital, Jameswood, Silver Heights, St. James, and Woodhaven encompass a stretch of west Winnipeg that seamlessly marries historic charm with modern convenience. Although each neighbourhood brings its own unique character, they share a sense of community and a generally quiet, suburban feel.

Bourkevale
Bourkevale offers a mix of early to mid-20th-century bungalows and two-story houses. Many feature original hardwood floors, archways, and other period details. Updates can vary, ranging from fully renovated kitchens and bathrooms to more modest improvements. These character homes sit on tidy lots, often with mature trees shading front lawns.

Bruce Park
Nearby Bruce Park showcases homes built primarily in the 1940s through 1960s. Expect traditional designs like one-and-a-half-story or bungalow layouts, with stucco or brick exteriors. Many properties back onto small park areas or enjoy easy access to the river, adding to the cozy appeal. While some houses maintain their vintage charm, others have been modernized with open-concept living spaces and contemporary finishes.

Deer Lodge
Located near the historic Deer Lodge Centre, this area features a blend of classic and newer infill homes. You’ll find stately two-story homes with character exteriors—like gabled roofs and decorative trim—side by side with fresh builds designed for modern efficiency. Lots are often larger here, allowing for extensive gardens or spacious decks. Brick and stucco remain popular exterior materials.

Grace Hospital & Jameswood
Around Grace Hospital, housing styles range from post-war bungalows to more recent construction. Many of these homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, with straightforward floor plans and attached single or double garages. Jameswood, just to the east, was originally military housing serving 17 Wing CFB Winnipeg, but was sold to a developer in the 1990s.  The housing was gutted to the studs and completely rebuilt to modern standards.

Silver Heights
Silver Heights is known for its wider streets and mid-century designs, often constructed between the 1950s and 1970s. These homes typically have larger square footage and front-drive garages. Raised bungalows and two-story options are most common, featuring brick or stone accents. Well-kept lawns and mature trees contribute to a classic suburban atmosphere.

St. James
Serving as an umbrella name for much of this region, St. James contains an assortment of housing that reflects its lengthy development history. Closer to Portage Avenue, you’ll find smaller bungalows and older two-story dwellings on tree-lined streets. Moving deeper into the area, newer pockets of development emerge, offering multi-level homes with garages, as well as a handful of modern townhouses and low-rise apartment blocks.

Woodhaven
Tucked beside the Assiniboine River, Woodhaven boasts a quiet, almost tucked-away vibe. Houses here can be older character properties dating back to the early 1900s, featuring original woodwork and front porches, or post-war bungalows with sizeable lots. Renovations often preserve period charm while adding contemporary touches. Winding roads and spacious yards are hallmarks of this enclave, making it feel somewhat insulated from city bustle.

Across all these neighbourhoods, homebuyers and renters can find a spectrum of choices—from cozy starter bungalows to larger, renovated character homes. Many streets are lined with mature trees that reflect the area’s long-established roots, and well-regarded schools and community facilities lie within walking distance. Whether you prefer a house with historical ambiance or a more modern build, these west Winnipeg neighbourhoods provide a welcoming and diverse housing market suited to families, professionals, and retirees alike.
