Winnipeg BLUE line apartments (2026): stops, neighbourhoods, and seven buildings to rent near

Winnipeg BLUE line apartments in this guide are sorted by what each landlord says about rapid transit, and only two of the seven buildings name a station in their own words. We quote the stop or neighbourhood wording for each. Winnipeg Transit’s Southwest Transitway summary says Stage 2 opened on April 12, 2020 and that BLUE “will operate on the Transitway”. We give no distance, walking time, or nearest station for any building, and prices and availability, which change, are as of October 14, 2026.

BLUE line stops and neighbourhoods: where the seven buildings sit

The official sources we used name stations and streets, but none ties a station to a neighbourhood, so we haven’t tried to map one to the other. The table below pairs each building with its own rapid transit sentence. Next to each, we quote any wording about the area from the landlord or the City of Winnipeg. Where a row says “none quoted in this guide”, we quote no area wording for that building. Three buildings have wording we can quote. Thorwin’s heading for 114 River Apartment reads “Apartments for Rent in Fort Rouge”, while the City of Winnipeg’s address records place 114 River Avenue in River-Osborne. P3 Realty places The Spot at East Village “in the heart of the desirable Fort Rouge neighbourhood” and says Lot 6 is “Located in South Osborne, just off Jubilee Avenue”. Fort Rouge is a district made up of smaller neighbourhoods, and River-Osborne is one of them, so Thorwin and the City are naming the same area at different scales.

On its BLUE route page, which we could only read in part, Winnipeg Transit names stops at Harkness, Osborne, Fort Rouge, and Jubilee stations on the Southwest Transitway. Its Southwest Transitway summary names Beaumont, Seel, Clarence, Chevrier, Plaza, Chancellor, Markham, and Stadium stations in its FAQ answer on new stations, added January 13, 2017. It places Markham Station only by street, at “Pembina Highway at Markham Road”. None of those eight showed up in the part of the BLUE route listing we could read, so we can’t confirm that BLUE stops at Markham Station.

Only two buildings name a station in their own words: Thorwin’s 88 Southpark Drive (Markham Rapid Transit Station) and Lot 6 (Fort Rouge Rapid Transit Station). Fort Rouge Rapid Transit Station is a station, and P3 Realty’s wording for Lot 6’s area is South Osborne. The other five buildings mention rapid transit or the corridor without naming a station.

Area as the landlord or the City words it	Building	What the landlord says about rapid transit
None quoted in this guide	88 Southpark Drive	“Markham Rapid Transit Station provides convenient access along the Southwest Transitway”
South Osborne (P3 Realty’s wording)	Lot 6 (15 Berwick Court)	“Found just steps away from the Fort Rouge Rapid Transit Station”
None quoted in this guide	Stationside at Jubilee (20 Walker Court)	“directly adjacent to the Southwest Rapid Transit corridor”; no station named
None quoted in this guide	The Pemby (1025 Pembina Highway)	“Located right along the Southwest Rapid Transit Corridor”; no station named
Fort Rouge (Thorwin’s heading); River-Osborne (City of Winnipeg)	114 River Apartment (114 River Avenue)	“Close to Rapid Transit Station”; no station named
None quoted in this guide	The Point on Pembina (1125 Pembina Hwy)	“Rapid Transit routes to downtown and the University of Manitoba”; no station named
Fort Rouge (P3 Realty’s wording)	The Spot at East Village (221 Stradbrook Avenue)	“The rapid transit station across the street makes it simple to get downtown, to the university, or across the city.”; no station named

How we chose these seven buildings, and what “near” means here

To make the list, a building’s listing had to show it renting: availability, a move-in date, or a priced plan. We then required transit wording that tied the building to rapid transit in words. Two of the seven, Lot 6 and 88 Southpark Drive, name a station in their own words, which we call grade A. The other five name rapid transit or the corridor without a station, which we call grade B.

Here, “near” means only that a building links itself to rapid transit in its own words. We measured nothing, and phrases such as “steps away” and “across the street” are claims we quote, not distances we checked. If you’re weighing a grade B building, it’s here on weaker evidence.

None of the building listings shows a visible date, so every rent, pet rule, and utility below is the one shown on October 14, 2026. Where a cell below says “not published”, the landlord gave no figure. The Spot at East Village is on liv.rent’s buildings list (September 2, 2026 version) and is linked below, though a listing never decided which buildings made the cut.

What do Winnipeg Transit and the City say about the BLUE line?

Winnipeg Transit’s Southwest Transitway summary has no date, and its newest dated entries are from 2019, yet it says the Stage 2 section “opened on April 12, 2020”. Its routes section is written in the future tense and describes BLUE service “between Downtown, the University of Manitoba, and St. Norbert”. The City of Winnipeg’s release of August 28, 2026 is headed “Fall Transit schedule coming September 6 with improved service”. It says “passengers on the BLUE route will now enjoy addditional stops on west Portage Avenue” (the typo is the City’s). Neither source states a 2026 frequency, so we give none.

The same Transitway summary says “Stage 1 of the Southwest Transitway, completed in 2012, runs from Queen Elizabeth Way & Stradbrook Avenue to Pembina Highway and Jubilee Avenue”. Its FAQ answer on new stations, added January 13, 2017, names Beaumont, Seel, Clarence, Chevrier, Plaza, Chancellor, Markham, and Stadium stations, and places Markham Station at “Pembina Highway at Markham Road”.

Winnipeg Transit names stops at four Southwest Transitway stations on its BLUE route page: Harkness Station, Osborne Station, Fort Rouge Station, and Jubilee Station. We could only read part of it, because its list ends with “Zoom in to see stops”. It also names downtown and Portage Avenue stops, such as “Northbound Main at Broadway (Union Station)”. None of the eight Transitway stations named above showed up in the part we could read, and neither did a Pembina Highway stop. So Winnipeg Transit’s material doesn’t confirm that BLUE stops at Markham Station, and we won’t tell you it does.

How do the seven buildings sort by station evidence?

Two buildings earn grade A and five earn grade B. Their own sentences decide that, and we quote them below so you can judge how strong each claim is.

Grade A: Lot 6, at 15 Berwick Court, says it is “Found just steps away from the Fort Rouge Rapid Transit Station”. Winnipeg Transit’s BLUE route lists a Fort Rouge Station. Thorwin Properties’ 88 Southpark Drive says “Markham Rapid Transit Station provides convenient access along the Southwest Transitway”, and the Transitway summary lists a Markham Station.

Grade B: Stationside at Jubilee says it is “directly adjacent to the Southwest Rapid Transit corridor”, and The Pemby says it is “Located right along the Southwest Rapid Transit Corridor”. 114 River Apartment lists “Close to Rapid Transit Station”, and The Point on Pembina lists “Rapid Transit routes to downtown and the University of Manitoba”. The Spot at East Village says “The rapid transit station across the street makes it simple to get downtown, to the university, or across the city”.

None of the five names a station. Stationside’s name echoes Jubilee Station, but its listing mentions no station. The nearby-transit list on The Spot’s map shows station names, yet its sentence doesn’t say which one it means.

How can you check a trip on Winnipeg Transit’s trip planner?

Winnipeg Transit’s Navigo trip planner lets you test a trip from any of these buildings yourself. You can set a time to leave before, leave after, arrive before, or arrive after, and it has walk and wait settings. Set the arrival time you need at work or class, then read the walk to the stop and the wait for yourself. Run it for the weekday hour you’d travel, and again for the trip home.

The planner’s examples show a place name and a stop number, so if a building’s address isn’t accepted, try a stop number from Winnipeg Transit’s BLUE route. None of the buildings’ listings states a distance, and none of our sources states a 2026 frequency.

What do the seven publish on rent, pets, utilities, and parking?

As of October 14, 2026, five of the seven publish a one-bedroom price, and the lowest starting rents run from $1,199 a month at 114 River Apartment to $1,585 at Lot 6. The other two, 88 Southpark Drive and The Pemby, show no one-bedroom. If you’re bringing a pet, all seven say they’re pet friendly in some form, and four publish a size or weight limit.

For context only, liv.rent’s October 2026 Winnipeg rent report has unfurnished one-bedrooms asking $1,319 on average citywide, down 0.1% from September. By region, West Winnipeg recorded the largest one-bedroom increase from September, at 3.5%, followed by South Winnipeg at 1.1%. South Winnipeg was also the most expensive region, at $1,400 for an unfurnished one-bedroom. The report doesn’t say which region covers any station or building here. So those regional figures aren’t prices for any building, and the starting rents the buildings publish aren’t averages.

Starting rents, pet rules, utilities, and parking for all seven are in the table below.

Building	Address (as the landlord gives it)	Company	Station evidence	Unit types	Starting rent as published	Pets	Utilities included	Parking
88 Southpark Drive	88 Southpark Drive	Thorwin Properties	Grade A: “Markham Rapid Transit Station”	Two-bedroom lower unit	Two-bedroom $1,699, from November 1, 2026	Cats: no weight limit; dogs: 40 pounds combined; no deposit	Heat, water, hydro	Electrified surface; cost not published

The seven buildings, grade A first

The entries follow the table’s order, grade A first. Each adds what the table doesn’t: the caveat on the transit sentence and what the listing leaves out.

Thorwin’s 88 Southpark Drive: a station named, and three utilities included

Heat, water, and hydro come with the rent at 88 Southpark Drive, one of the two buildings that name a station. The only plan shown is a 915-square-foot two-bedroom, one-bathroom lower unit starting at $1,699 a month, available from November 1, 2026, going by Thorwin’s day-first date format. The suite has an in-suite washer and dryer. The planner is where to test whether BLUE stops at Markham Station.

Lot 6: a station named twice, with utilities left unstated

P3 Realty’s Lot 6 names the Fort Rouge Rapid Transit Station twice. Once it says “just steps away”, and once “just a few steps”. Three plans are available now, with rent ranges on the floor plans, and the studio price isn’t published. Utilities aren’t stated, though the amenities list shows “Geothermal Heating” and an in-suite washer and dryer.

Stationside at Jubilee: corridor wording, and no station named

Stationside at Jubilee starts at $1,458 a month for a one-bedroom and $1,676 for a one-bedroom plus den, both available immediately. The two-bedroom at $2,013 is available December 1, 2026. Shindico Realty also lists “Excellent Transit Service” among its amenities. Each plan shows a deposit beside the rent ($1,047, $1,143, and $1,344), and the listing doesn’t say what the deposit covers. Heat is in the rent, and the suites have in-suite laundry.

The Pemby: new construction, corridor wording, and Wi-Fi in the rent

The Pemby, at 1025 Pembina Highway, listed a studio from $1,120 a month as available immediately on October 14, 2026. Five two-bedroom, two-bathroom suites from $2,005 to $2,359 were also available immediately. There’s no one-bedroom. Towers Realty Group names no station, and its amenities list says “New construction”. Heat isn’t on the list of included items. The listing also advertises a “FALL SPECIAL ON REMAINING SUITES” (a free move with Total Moving) with no end date shown.

Thorwin’s 114 River Apartment: the lowest starting rent, on the River-Osborne edge

The 600-square-foot one-bedroom at 114 River Apartment is the lowest one-bedroom starting rent of the seven. It’s $1,199 a month, available from November 1, 2026 (Thorwin writes dates day first), and it’s the only plan shown. Thorwin’s heading reads “Apartments for Rent in Fort Rouge”, while the City of Winnipeg’s address records place 114 River Avenue in River-Osborne, one of the smaller neighbourhoods within the Fort Rouge district. No station is named, so you can check the commute in the planner.

The Point on Pembina: rents on a portal, rapid transit wording only

The building site for The Point on Pembina has no rent details, so the prices here come from Premier Property Solutions’ Premier204 portal. It lists a one-bedroom at $1,550 available November 1 and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom at $1,927 available “October 1”. That date has already passed, and no year is shown. It advertises “Steps from Heated Bus Shelter and public transit” and lists “Rapid Transit routes to downtown and the University of Manitoba”, with no station or route named. It says nothing about utilities.

The Spot at East Village: a station only as “across the street”

The Spot at East Village, a P3 Realty building, appears on liv.rent as East Village. P3’s floor plans list the 535-square-foot Chelsea one-bedroom from $1,425 a month on November 1, 2026, and the 685-square-foot Belmont from $1,775 on November 30, 2026 (P3 writes dates day first). The transit sentence quoted above comes from the building’s map and directions and doesn’t say which station it means. Heat, water, and hydro are included, and the pet terms match Lot 6’s P3 limits, with a deposit of half of one month’s rent.

What should you confirm before leasing near the BLUE line?

Manitoba’s Residential Tenancies Branch gives the 2027 rent increase guideline as 3.0%, effective January 1, 2027, in its current guideline. The Branch requires at least three months’ written notice before an increase takes effect, and it says rents can in most circumstances rise only once a year. Among the exempt categories it lists are “rental units renting for $2,000 or more per month” and “rental units in buildings first occupied after March 2005”.

Three of the seven (Lot 6, Stationside at Jubilee, and The Pemby) list a plan at $2,000 or more a month as of October 14, 2026. No listing we used gives a first-occupancy date, so we can’t say whether the March 2005 exemption applies to any of them. Everything in this section is Manitoba-only general information, not legal or financial advice.

The Branch’s security deposit guidance, last revised December 2023, caps a security deposit at half of the first month’s rent. It also caps a pet damage deposit collected on or after August 1, 2014 at one month’s rent. Stationside lists a $1,047 deposit beside its $1,458 one-bedroom and doesn’t say what it covers.

Before you apply, confirm in writing the exact unit and its rent, the move-in date, the pet terms, and what the rent includes. Two of the seven publish no utilities and four publish no parking cost. If you’re a landlord or property manager, you can use the table as a model for a listing.

For monthly citywide figures, read liv.rent’s rent reports; for more area guides, see the neighbourhoods category; and for tenancy basics for renters and landlords, see the rental resources category.

Where can you rent an apartment near Winnipeg's BLUE line?

Seven buildings tie themselves to rapid transit, but only two, 88 Southpark Drive and Lot 6, name a station. The other five use corridor or rapid transit wording without one. We give no distance, walking time, or nearest station for any building.

How do I check the commute from a Winnipeg apartment to the BLUE line?

Use Winnipeg Transit’s Navigo trip planner. Enter the building’s address as the start (or a stop number from the BLUE route page if the address isn’t accepted) and your workplace or campus as the end, then choose “arrive before” and set your real start time. No building’s listing gives a distance.

Which stations are on Winnipeg's BLUE line?

Winnipeg Transit’s BLUE route page lists stops at Harkness, Osborne, Fort Rouge, and Jubilee stations on the Southwest Transitway, plus downtown and Portage Avenue stops. Its Southwest Transitway summary also names Markham Station, but it didn’t show in the part of the BLUE route listing we could read, so check the planner.

How much does it cost to rent an apartment near the BLUE line?

As of October 14, 2026, five of the seven buildings publish a one-bedroom price. The lowest starting rents run from $1,199 a month at 114 River Apartment to $1,585 at Lot 6. For context, liv.rent‘s October 2026 Winnipeg rent report puts the citywide average for an unfurnished one-bedroom at $1,319.

Are rental buildings near the BLUE line pet friendly?

In some form, yes: all seven say they’re pet friendly. Four publish limits. 88 Southpark Drive and 114 River Apartment cap dogs at 40 pounds combined, while Lot 6 and The Spot cap pets at 24 inches or 50 pounds. Stationside, The Pemby, and The Point on Pembina give none.

What is Manitoba's rent increase guideline for 2027?

Manitoba’s Residential Tenancies Branch lists a 2027 rent increase guideline of 3.0%, effective January 1, 2027. The Branch says tenants must get written notice at least three months before an increase and that, in most circumstances, rents can only be increased once a year. Confirm details with the Branch.
