Living Life in Linden Woods
Linden Woods Area
Linden Woods is a very desirable family-oriented neighbourhood located in the South West of Winnipeg built around a huge network of lakes, paths, and parks. Linden Woods is popular for its family-friendly feel, active living walking paths, large lots, spacious homes, and modern construction with most homes built in the 1980 and 1990s.
The area predominantly consists of single family homes, but there are also a number of lovely condominium & retirement home options popular with empty-nesters that want to stay in the area. Linden Woods is known for its meandering, curvilinear streets, which calms traffic and sets up a relaxed, familiar experience for residents in the area.
The CommuteOne of the really appealing things about Linden Woods is that it is located relatively close to downtown with an easy 15-20 minute commute to downtown. A feature of this commute used to be the risk of getting de-railed by running into a train, however the Waverley underpass was completed in August 2018, which has eliminated this issue entirely!

The Pancake House is a great spot for breakfast, and there are lots of quick lunch options like Freshii, Umi Sushi, and Nuburger.
Ready for a drink? You’re covered for that with options like JOEY, Moxie’s, or The Great Canadian Brew House.
Depending on where you’re located in the area, most of these spots would be walking distance — making for the perfect summer date night!
