There’s a lot going on in this one... We share information about what living within the neighbourhood is like - this includes types of homes, school districts, shopping, recreation, entertainment, lifestyle. We hope you enjoy this labour of love.

Bridgwater is a neighbourhood found in Southwest Winnipeg. It is an expansive development that began construction in late 2007 and continues developing. Today it is broken down into four main areas, namely Bridgwater Forest, Bridgwater Lakes, Bridgwater Trails, and Bridgwater Centre with each area offering slightly different types of backgrounds. Bridgwater Forest is surrounded by 25 acres of forest and focuses more on greenery with beautiful lake features. Bridgwater Lakes features three lakes as well as ample greenery and walking paths to navigate. Bridgwater Trails features more renaissance style homes, and additional lakes with a large community fountain/gathering area at its focal point. Bridgwater Centre features a variety of multiple-family type living accommodations combined with shopping/dining/service type offerings. Its goal is to create an ambiance of small town living with big-town amenities. In case you are wondering, no we did not spell Bridgwater wrong. Many think it is spelled as Bridgewater, which is incorrect. The community is named after the late Arthur Bridgwater.
