Winnipeg is the largest city in the Canadian Prairies and is known as the Heart of the Continent. The city’s long, cold winters are countered by its friendly reputation – maybe this is why many immigrants to Canada choose Winnipeg as their Canadian home.
The most expensive neighbourhoods in Winnipeg are Tuxedo, Charleswood, River Heights, Westmount, and Fort Garry. These areas are made up of mostly affluent families who live in large homes with plenty of space. The climate is cold for most of the year, but there is a lot of green space.
