Welcome To Mission Gardens

It may be small, but this area has a mix of newer and older residential homes that are close to everything. People come to the quiet location and the surroundings due to the lush green parks and the many trails for outdoor exercise and relaxation. The homes here are reasonably priced, which has drawn in buyers who needed help fitting a house into their budget in some of the surrounding areas.
Yet it is only about 15 minutes from downtown Winnipeg. Residents love the comforts of this area. They balance it with the convenience of reaching shopping centres, places to work, and the heart of Winnipeg in just a few minutes. It gives them the best of both worlds and a wonderful place to reside.
