55-plus Condos in Winnipeg

55-plus condos: Perfect for you?

It’s an often-reported fact that Winnipeg‘s population is aging, and as such, 55-plus condos were becoming quite popular.  In fact, there are numerous advantages to owning a condoHowever, the recent changes to the Condominium Act have made bylaws, which restrict ownership based on age, obsolete.

These were units with bylaws which state that the owner/occupant of the unit must be at least 55 years of age.  (Some 55-plus condos have dropped this age requirement down to 50 yrs, in an effort to attract more buyers).  Even though they are no longer technically allowed to discriminate based on age, there are still a number of condos where ownership is mostly the mature, even elderly persons.  See the list at the bottom of this post.

For the right person, there are a number of advantages to these (formerly called) 55-plus condos.  Here are a few:

1) Security

Many of these 55-plus condos are built with security in mind, sometimes with security cameras but almost always with good secure locks on well-lit entry ways.

2) Handicap accessible

Many buildings feature wider-than-normal hallways, doors and bathrooms, to allow access via wheelchair or walker.

3) “Community Spirit”

Quite often, the residents organize weekly pot-luck dinners, shopping trips, card-games and other outings.

4) “Birds of a Feather”

Since everyone in the building is 55 yrs or older, and most often retired, residents tend to have a lot in common, and friendships are made easily….  if you WANT to do so.

5) Conveniences

Local grocery stores often arrange weekly bus-trip to their shops.  Some condos arrange for a local nurse to attend monthly, or bi-monthly for a general visit.
