**Summary:** Quiet riverside blocks that hug the Red River are home to numerous golf courses, the University of Manitoba and some fantastic restaurants.

Heading south of downtown is the picturesque neighbourhood of Fort Garry. There you’ll find some of the city’s most luxurious homes along the Red River on South Drive, St. John’s Ravenscourt, a more than 200-year-old private school, and Wildwood Park, a unique area where there are no front roads – only back lanes – and neighbours share a central greenspace in front of their houses. The main street in Fort Garry is Pembina Highway, which features a wide variety of cuisine in its distinct strip malls, including some of the city’s best Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese eateries.

Travelling south on Pembina will lead you to the [University of Manitoba](https://umanitoba.ca/) campus, home to Princess Auto Stadium, where the CFL’s [Winnipeg Blue Bombers](https://www.bluebombers.com/) play and which has hosted stadium shows by Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift and AC/DC. Just a stone’s throw from the campus, you’ll find a plethora of Cantonese and Sichuan restaurants, along with quick service sandwich shops that cater to students.

A number of neighbourhoods run alongside both sides of Pembina. There’s a wide range of bungalows in Fort Garry and larger multi-storey homes in Whyte Ridge. Bridgwater, one of the city’s newest suburbs, offers an abundance of amenities including bike paths, community centres, parks and shops.

In Winnipeg’s southernmost suburb of St. Norbert, you’ll find the city’s second-biggest French community and there’s a mix of farm-style homes and expansive properties where the city meets the prairie.
