Linden Woods

Lakes, winding streets, and executive homes

Linden Woods is a sought-after residential community in southwest Winnipeg, developed beginning in the early 1980s and laid out in a curvilinear style of winding streets that wrap around a central man-made lake and connected parkland. It's best known for its executive-style homes, mature landscaping, and water-and-trail setting, which give it a quieter, established suburban feel while staying close to major shopping and commuter routes. It sits within the Pembina Trails School Division and the broader Fort Garry area, bounded roughly by Sterling Lyon Parkway/Wilkes Avenue, Waverley Street, McGillivray Boulevard, and Kenaston Boulevard.

Highlights

Man-made lakes at the heart of the community, with parkland that includes Van Walleghem, Muys and Kleysen parks, plus paved walking and bike trails, pedestrian bridges, fountains and lookouts
The Linden Woods Community Centre on Lindenwood Drive West, offering youth and adult programs, fitness classes, facility rentals, and seasonal events like a winter festival and farmers' market
Minutes from major retail at Kenaston Common, Linden Ridge Shopping Centre, and the Outlet Collection / IKEA developments along the Route 90 (Kenaston) corridor
A green, established setting with winding streets and mature trees, popular with professionals and families who value space and a quieter pace

Best for

Move-up buyers, professionals, and families looking for an established executive-home community with lakes, parks, and trails.

Housing

Predominantly owner-occupied, single-family detached executive homes on generous lots, along with some townhomes and condos. Housing here generally sits in the mid-to-upper range for the Winnipeg market, with larger, custom and luxury properties at the higher end. Prices vary widely by home size, age, and proximity to the lake. (Any specific dollar figures should be treated as estimates as of 2026 and verified against current MLS data.)

Getting around

Car-oriented and well connected: Kenaston Boulevard (Route 90), Sterling Lyon Parkway, Waverley Street, and McGillivray Boulevard frame the area and link quickly to the rest of southwest Winnipeg. The community is generally within about 30 minutes of downtown, the universities, Red River College Polytechnic, the airport, and the Pan Am Pool. Winnipeg Transit bus routes serve the neighbourhood; buyers who rely on transit should confirm current routes and schedules for their specific address.
