Introduction
This southwest neighbourhood is newer and serene, surrounded by space and impressive houses curving comfortably around a man-made lake. From busy Kenaston Boulevard in the west to winding Waverly Street in the east, Linden Woods touches McGillivary Boulevard in the south and ends at Wilkes Avenue in the north.
Lifestyle
With 900 acres of fully serviced residential lots, lush greenspaces on every corner, traffic-calmed streets and paved walking trails, Linden Woods is clearly designed for the comfort of the neighbourhood residents. Students are safe to walk to the bus at night. Older couples walk together to the lake. Big income earners are busy during the day but can take up tennis at the rec centre while their kids play at the park.
The Vibe
The vibe in Linden Woods is soft and luxurious. Streets are formed to follow the focal point which is a lovely lake, hill and two adjoining parks in the centre of the circular streets. A newer addition to founding Fort Garry North, Linden Woods has the slow, curb-side appeal of the suburbs while being adjacent to an industrial area, big box stores and major thoroughfares throughout the south.
Meet the Neighbours
Built in the early 1980s as an attraction for families looking to settle in a wealthy suburb, residents are often middle-aged professionals and their children. Largely homogenous in nature, nearly a quarter of homeowners have Eurasian heritage. Linden Woods’ average household income is more than double the income of the city average. Homes and services are targeted for this demographic.
In the Area
This area is for a bigger, broader budget, so it caters to single-family home owners, although larger homes can accommodate multi-generational living. Condos and townhouses are newer still and exclusive.
