Want to live in a community where all the amenities are just a short jaunt from your front door?

The West End has it all and with our growing condo market, it’s easier than ever to buy a home that’s the right size for you.

The latest development coming to the West End is The Icon Condominiums on the site of the old Palomino Club. The name of the new development, The Icon, celebrates the iconic status “The Pal” had on Portage Avenue.

The West End is central and well-connected to the entire city making the location of The Icon appealing for those who want to be close to downtown but still able to reach virtually any area of the city quickly. Portage Avenue has dedicated bus/bike lanes and buses that come with some of the highest frequencies in the city. You are less than ten minutes from downtown by bike, car or bus and by car, it takes less than 20 minutes to get to the Perimeter Highway.

Daily life is cinch in the West End. Full service grocery stores, convenience stores, clothing retailers and more are all located within just a short trek with any mode of transportation. The West End has over a thousand businesses and organizations, making the commercial landscape one of the most diverse in the city. Local mom-and-pop stores, top notch ethnic restaurants and niche retailers dot the West End and make the whole neighbourhood one of the most interesting communities in Winnipeg to explore.

Finding things to do on a Friday evening is easy when you’re in the centre of it all! There are 30 eateries on Portage Avenue alone, 20 of which are independently-owned local restaurants. Movie theatres, pubs and parks and recreation are all nearby. You can check out all the West End’s amenities by heading over to our directory.
