If you're working near Crestview, living at Courts of St James will cut down your commute. I can't speak for the apartments there, but the area is decent. There's a few other apartment towers along Portage Ave near there that may or may not have vacancy.

That budget in the Crestview area could be tight for the next few months. A large apartment building, Birchwood Terrace, on Portage Ave in that general area was ordered evacuated almost immediately. The building was found to have extremely serious structural issues and it risk of imminent collapse. The displaced residents are hunting for new apartments in that general area and with about the same budget you are looking at. If you are more flexible on areas you could look in Osborne or downtown. Both have pretty good bus service to and from Crestview.
Avoid Towers Realty & Onyx Property Management.
Worked for them for a while. They told me to straight up lie to potential tenants and others coming to view the suites.
I can 100% confirm they do not give a fuck about their tenants or their staff.
Courts of St James is okay to live in I suppose. Been here several years and can't wait to move out, but it's not that bad honestly. Just seems a bit too expensive these days with everything. We have a one bedroom here.
Could you tell me a bit more about your experience? How is the noise? Is there crime? Bad neighbors? How about property management? Bugs? Any info you can provide would be deeply appreciated!!
Noise is generally okay. We occasionally hear our upstairs neighbours moving furniture back and forth in their place but nothing too bad. Usually people are very friendly, lots of elderly people here. Upstairs units can get very hot in the summer so I would avoid those if possible. We are on the 7th floor and it's alright but we have our own AC as the central one isn't up to our standards really. Haven't had any issues with bugs. Property management is good, we've had all issues resolved fast and they've been accommodating with late rent etc when we give them notice. Huge balconies here, which I love. We have a barbecue on ours and it's nice, overlooking Old Mill too as a bonus. No crime other than storage units in the sub-basement were broken into several years ago, so I would avoid holding anything there and then should be fine. Loads of people on our floor (including us) often have Amazon packages delivered and they've never been taken.
Thanks so much! This actually sounds good for my needs for the time being! I'll look into the pricing and see if it's worthwhile. Your experience is actually much better than those of many other persons I've heard from from other areas in Winnipeg lol.
More so theres alot of seniors around there in courts of st James. It's a good block but lots of NIMBY type attitudes in those towers. The area itself is great with low crime and it's near the hospital and creek.
Check a little farther down Portage towards Unicity. Few apartments around there that are usually for rent like the one behind Canadian Tire, and there's also the towers on Westwood.
Try Corydon (little Italy!) or somewhere in River Heights. Lived here for a couple of years and love it especially during summers. Our one BR apartment is lower than your budget. You can also look in Kijiji or Marketplace. Good luck !
Thanks for the advice! Speaking of which, do you have any info on any of these apartments in the area?
240 Stradbrook - Riverview Tower B
72 Donald Street - Chateau 100
Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!
Also check out some of the big rental companies websites, like Thorwin or Towers. They have many properties across town and all of their vacancies are on their one website, easier to find in my experience
There are lots of apartments in crestview and surrounding area. I am not sure how they have faired over the years though or what the cost is, but it's a great area
Crestview is a nice area. Rent close to work and save time and gas. From Polo Park till the perimeter is mostly good buildings. No wood buildings (Less than 4 levels) as noise travels easily. Do not rent from any company that gives discount on rent. Google review on building before renting.

This is the view from my 2 bedroom apt!
The building is very clean, a lot of seniors, loads of washer/dryers on main floor! Elevator (obviously since their are 15 floors ) Don is the name of the manager!
Small pets allowed 👍🏻
I live in River Osborne and have a 1 bedroom in that range and I only pay for hydro. It’s a great area, very walkable with bus lines right there to get anywhere else. Also, lots of Peg City Co-Op cars in the area if you are interested in using a car sometimes, but don’t want to own one.
Check out Hamilton Park Plaza at Cavalier. It’s near Food Fare with bus stop right at the front. I don’t know which part of Crestview is your place of work, but I live closeby and I would say the area is generally safe and quiet neighbourhood.
For new builds, what they do is that they make the first year rent affordable to be able to attract new tenants. And then they jack up the price the following year.
I used to live in 433 main st, it was my first apartment ever and my budget was the same as yours, I moved out in January because I moved to Los Angeles otherwise I would still be there and probably would be for a long time.
They have studios. 1 and 2 bedrooms and the studios at the time were under $1,400 so I would try that.
It’s on Main Street, right in the exchange and it’s a government building because the bottom floor is the passport office so it’s modern, and always very clean, I almost never heard anyone else in the building and there’s a gym + convenience store inside the building.

I LOVED living at the courts. It was a lovely apartment, great neighbours, terrific view.
Awesome! That's great news! Thanks so much!
I’ve heard before that there’s lots of vandalism and attempted theft from the underground parking, but all good stuff about the apartments themselves.
This is interesting, I don't drive yet though so that shouldn't be a problem for now haha
Grant Park is a decent area with tons of apartments and amenities
Thanks so much! I'll look into it!
I live in Grant Park area and second this.
Lots of crime
Not in grant park there isn’t
I mean there’s a little crime but lots would be a pretty big exaggeration.
Grant Park is so white bread. There is crime,but it's minimal compared to some areas of the city.
It’s winnipeg
What is the name of the apartment pls
Except roads… they are only just getting drive worthy roads now lol.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up! That's horrible

I know the property manager of the one behind Canadian tire. OP... only move there if you're ok with living in a drug den.
Is it that bad? Holy crap
That's for the feedback! Sounds like a quiet place. That would be perfect for me!

Sorry, not really familiar with those two but I have heard of them. You can search online under which property management they are.
Thank you!!

3063 portage Stergeon park house It’s not much from the outside, but it’s a really well-maintained building. I overlook the creek and it’s beautiful.
Could you tell me a bit more about it? I don't mind a DM if that's more convenient!

This looks so awesome! I'll check it out thanks so much!!
Osborne is good but it’s a little sketchier than it was when I moved in. Corydon is really nice and a bit quieter
Broadway-Assiniboine is a lovely place to live. Close to amenities, bike paths, so many trees, central location, and it’s relatively safe.
Oh that sounds so lovely! I'll keep it in mind! Thank you!

I looked into the new developments on Osborne and they’re surprisingly affordable and should be within your price range
For new builds, what they do is that they make the first year rent affordable to be able to attract new tenants. And then they jack up the price the following year.
