Neighbourhood Safety
Crime data for the Rossmere-A neighbourhood shows a fluctuating pattern, with violent incidents peaking at 246 in 2022 and 2024, then decreasing to 205 in 2025. Property crime, which reached a high of 710 in 2020, has trended lower in recent years, with 526 incidents in 2023 and 592 in 2024. Total incidents in the most recent partial year (2026) are dramatically lower (only 54 property and 18 violent), but this may reflect incomplete reporting.
Overall, the long-term trend from 2017 to 2025 shows a general increase in violent crime (174 to 205) and fluctuating property crime, though recent years (2023-2025) suggest some stabilization. The significant drop in 2026 data appears anomalous and may not represent a sustained improvement.
Who Is This Home For
This property is well-suited for families and commuters due to its excellent transit access and the presence of schools like Sherwood School and Calvin Christian School within walking distance. The abundance of nearby parks, restaurants, and convenience stores adds to the neighborhood's appeal for those seeking a walkable lifestyle.
First-time buyers may find the area attractive for its affordability compared to central Winnipeg, and investors could benefit from the steady demand driven by transit connectivity. However, the fluctuating crime rates may be a concern for retirees prioritizing safety.
