Residential counts bundle many years of development: greenfield suburbs with thousands of single-family homes naturally rank at the top, while older pockets can still be dense in population but look “smaller” in this residential-only field. The bar chart usually shows a thick middle band—typical mature communities—and a short tail of very large stock leaders.
Total-houses and share columns help sanity-check the mix: when residential is a high share of all property records, the neighbourhood is overwhelmingly housing; lower shares may indicate more condos counted elsewhere, commercial edges, or data quirks—read alongside the main community stats table.
- 1. Which community has the most residential homes?
- On this page, River Park South ranks first with 3,617 residential homes, followed by Tyndall Park (3,451) and Windsor Park (3,307). These are among Winnipeg’s largest residential communities—generally broad areas with well-developed housing stock.
- 2. How many communities have 3,000+ homes?
- Not many. In this dataset only six reach 3,000+: River Park South, Tyndall Park, Windsor Park, Rossmere-A, Dakota Crossing, and The Maples.
So “very large” residential communities are the exception; most neighbourhoods are smaller than that.
- 3. Where do most Winnipeg communities sit by home count?
- By band, the biggest pile of communities is in the low and mid ranges, not at the very top.
Examples from this page:
0–199 homes: 43 communities
200–399: 29
400–599: 18 communities
600–799: 17 communities
That means many small-stock neighbourhoods. The 1,000–1,999 band is also common—typical mid-sized mature areas.
- 4. Why are there so many communities in the 0–199 band?
- This page shows 43 communities in 0–199 homes—the single largest band.
Common reasons:
Small geographic footprint
Mixed land use (commercial/industrial with only some housing)
Low-density or premium pockets where fewer homes sit on more land
A low count doesn’t mean a “weak” area—often it’s small scale, low density, or different zoning—not low value.
- 5. Does a high residential count mean the area is more mature?
- Often yes—places like River Park South, Tyndall Park, Windsor Park, The Maples, and Fort Richmond usually signal long development timelines, a complete housing stock, and a large resident base.
“Mature” still depends on schools, shops, transit, and housing age—but count is mainly telling you scale.
- 6. Does more homes always mean a “better” neighbourhood?
- No.
Home count measures size, not prestige.
The top of this list (River Park South, Tyndall Park, Windsor Park) are genuinely large—but neighbourhoods people treat as premium, like Old Tuxedo, South Tuxedo, and Wellington Crescent, often have far fewer homes.
Larger lots and lower density naturally cap total homes.
- 7. Why do upscale communities often have fewer homes?
- They compete on location, land, low density, and home quality—not on cramming in units.
In this data:
South Tuxedo sits in the 600–799 band
Old Tuxedo in 200–399
Wellington Crescent in 400–599
Armstrong Point in 0–199
Low counts can still mean highly sought-after, scarce housing stock.
- 8. Which communities count as “mega” by this measure?
- Using 3,000+ homes as a rough “mega” line on this page, the list is:
River Park South
Tyndall Park
Windsor Park
Rossmere-A
Dakota Crossing
The Maples
They sit well above typical neighbourhoods—large housing bases, usually bigger populations and more road and amenity load.
- 9. How tight is the spread across the top 20?
- Fairly gradual—not a cliff.
#1 River Park South is 3,617 homes; #20 Sage Creek is 2,224. Rank moves around but the drop isn’t extreme.
Think of the top 20 as one broad “large community” tier with small ordering differences inside it.
- 10. Is the gap between first and second place huge?
- Not really.
River Park South has 3,617 homes; Tyndall Park has 3,451—a gap of 166 homes. The page shows that as about 4.8% higher than the next row.
So it’s clearly #1, but not miles ahead of the next largest peers.
- 11. What are typical 2,000+ home communities besides the 3,000+ leaders?
- Beyond the six above 3,000, the top 20 still includes strong 2,000–2,600 home areas such as:
Fort Richmond (2,629)
Linden Woods (2,550)
Westwood (2,523)
Crestview (2,463)
St. John’s (2,462)
King Edward (2,385)
Whyte Ridge (2,382)
Wolseley (2,349)
Sage Creek (2,224)
These are major residential plates—stable, mature, well above “typical” neighbourhood size.
- 12. What does the 1,000–2,000 home band represent?
- Usually mid-sized communities.
Bigger than small pockets, but not in the mega tier.
They often have a complete residential fabric, stable feel, and enough scale without sprawling like the largest leaders—many buyers find that balance attractive.
- 13. Do more homes always mean more people?
- Usually correlated, but not one-to-one.
Population also depends on detached vs condo mix, average household size, and demographic mix.
Still, a 3,000+ home community will almost always dwarf a few-hundred-home pocket in resident headcount.
- 14. Does a larger home count mean a busier resale market?
- Often more potential listings and more buyer familiarity—River Park South, Fort Richmond, Linden Woods, and Whyte Ridge get plenty of attention for that reason.
Actual turnover still depends on volumes, price segments, and market timing—not count alone.
- 15. Is it harder to buy or sell in a small community?
- Not automatically.
Fewer homes can mean fewer listings, but scarcity can attract dedicated buyers—think Old Tuxedo, Armstrong Point, or Wellington Crescent.
The trade-off is thinner comps and more case-by-case pricing, not necessarily “unsellable.”
- 16. Is there a direct link between home count and price?
- No.
This metric is scale and a rough density read—not dollar value.
Some high-count areas are mid-market; some tiny-count areas are very expensive.
Use it for “how big is the housing stock,” not for ranking prestige.
- 17. How can newer areas still land in the top 20?
- They’re sometimes master-planned at large scale from the start.
Sage Creek (2,224 homes) cracking the top 20 shows it isn’t a scatter of lots—it’s a substantial new residential district.
Concentrated greenfield plans can climb the count quickly even with shorter history than old suburbs.
- 18. What does “100% residential share of total” mean here?
- For the current top-20 rows, the data shows 100% residential share—within this slice, the counted records are essentially all housing, so you’re comparing pure residential inventory head-to-head.
That keeps the ranking straightforward on “how many homes,” not mixed property types.
- 19. Why should buyers care about neighbourhood home counts?
- It’s a fast read on scale and everyday feel:
3,000+ typically very large mature stock
~2,000 major residential community
~1,000 mid-sized
Low hundreds often smaller, lower density, or mixed-use edges
Many people want to know if an area feels busy and broad, balanced, or quiet and scarce—counts help frame that.
- 20. What’s the one takeaway from this page?
- Residential count measures neighbourhood scale—not whether it’s “good” or expensive.
The data highlights mega stock leaders like River Park South, Tyndall Park, and Windsor Park, while many premium names—Old Tuxedo, South Tuxedo, Wellington Crescent, Armstrong Point—sit on much smaller home counts.
Use this page for “how big is the housing base?” Pair it with price, living area, location, and age to judge fit and value.
