ST. BONIFACE

A BIT OF FRENCH CULTURE AND HISTORY

Saint Boniface runs north as far as Mission Street following the Red River west along Tache Avenue and later Lyndale Drive. A large area with francophone residents, Saint Boniface extends east past Archibald Street to Plessis Road, reaching the Perimeter Highway.

The vibe in St. Boniface is clearly French-Canadian. From the Forks, it careens like canoe-carrying voyageurs to the next creek. Whether you’re in surgery at St. Boniface hospital or serving Sleeman’s at the Marion Hotel, you’re part of the living canvas here in the Montreal of the Metis.

Former residents counted French as their first language, but now most are more diverse and Englishspeaking. They may not look as rugged as the prairie pioneers of old but they celebrate this French catholic heritage just the same.

There are a large number of seniors in the population, low to middle income homes and typically, fewer of these households have children residing there so it can be sedate. St. Boniface has vibrant, young faces in the cultural cliques milling about. Close to downtown, life is lively yet local day and night.

St. Boniface is affordable for a middle income bracket, though it caters to high-end condo owners along the river. A small budget can live here resourcefully within reach of city services.

Traffic is constant over the bridges, so there are several traffic lights and mildly congested routes.

The airport is not convenient but there are several bus routes and river walks for pedestrians.

St. Boniface hospital dominates the landscape. Parks are plentiful, like Whittier or King George park, with three golf courses and trails throughout the area. There is St. Boniface City Hall, the Mint, St. Boniface Cathedral and the Université de Saint-Boniface.

St. Boniface is loved by those who enjoy a bit of French culture, history and who like to live close to downtown. Shopping and services are ample. Health and business sectors thrive. Young families or those who

favour the suburbs may prefer more child-centred neighbourhoods.

Apartments are abundant in St. Boniface. There are more suites for rent than there are homes for sale in this area. Newer developments include a street-side, four storey building with luxury condos on Tache, and contemporary open concept units on Provencher. Values for these cityscape condos are higher than average while modest, quality rentals of a similar style are more frequent farther east from downtown.

FIVE REASONS RENTING IS BETTER

Here are five good reasons why renting is preferable to owning.

1. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. Shovelling snow, raking autumn leaves, mowing the lawn –outdoor tasks are your landlord, superintendent or management company’s responsibility, unless your lease dictates otherwise.

2. FIXTURE REPAIR. If your shower stops running properly, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to call and pay for a plumber.

3. ACCESS TO AMENITIES. Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, high-density housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping.

4. CHEAPER INSURANCE. Unlike homeowners, renters do not have to insure the property – only the contents. When you get your renters’ insurance, expect to be paying approximately half of what you would if you owned your home.

5. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating (or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of home ownership. Rental units have more compact floorplans, and in the winter you may even benefit from ambient heat from the apartments around you.
