296 semple avenue

Within a 5-minute walk, residents can reach Helen Promislow Park, Tim Hortons, and Park Royal Food Store for quick errands. A 6- to 8-minute walk brings you to several more parks (Forrest Tot Lot, Kingsbury/Andrews Park), Jefferson Junior High, West Kildonan Memorial Community Centre, and a 7-Eleven. The area is well-served by schools, including Edmund Partridge Community School just 4 minutes away, and multiple fast-food options like McDonald's and George's Burgers and Subs all within 8 minutes on foot.

Crime in Jefferson has shown mixed trends. Violent incidents peaked at 130 in 2022 and reached 129 in 2025, but dropped sharply in early 2026 to just 7 incidents. Property crime declined from a high of 557 in 2019 to 349 in 2023, though it rose to 470 in 2025 before falling to 32 in the first part of 2026. While year-to-year fluctuations are significant, the very low counts in early 2026 suggest an improving short-term outlook.

296 Semple Avenue is well-suited for families and first-time buyers due to its proximity to multiple schools, parks, and a community centre, all within a short walk. Commuters will appreciate the frequent Route D11 bus service and the easy access to downtown and major amenities like Misericordia Health Centre and supermarkets. Investors may find appeal in the area's improving safety trend and stable property crime levels in recent years.
