| Neighborhood |
| Wildwood Park: |
Wildwood park is a unique area because all road access is through back lanes. Each house faces a trail, creating a park-like atmosphere and a safe area for children. Most homes have had major renovations, as most were remodeled after the 1950 flood. A large dyke currently protects this area from the Red River, and has not flooded since. |
| South Drive: |
South Drive winds along the west bank of the Red River. Many of the river houses are large, executive homes on large, treed lots. |
| Point Road: |
This area is slightly back from the river and far enough from Pembina Highway to be quiet. The parks, trees, alcoves, and Wildewood Golf Club make for a beautiful and affordable area to live. | |
| Location |
Fort Garry is 15-20 minutes south from downtown along Pembina Highway. |
| Schools |
