Rental buildings near University of Winnipeg are not all student housing: the University’s Campus Living page offers furnished rooms for individual students and unfurnished apartments for student families, while each of the seven buildings below advertises its own rents on its operator’s site. This guide sets out what each one asks you to give up, whether that is pets, a lower rent, or included utilities. It is general information, not legal or financial advice. Prices and availability are as of the date this guide was published, and they change, so confirm every detail with the building before you apply.<\/p>\n

No. The University’s own Campus Living pages describe housing for students, but the seven buildings here are advertised on their operators’ own sites with prices. Three are tied to UWCRC 2.0 Inc., and four are rented by Mainstreet Equity Corp. and Sussex Realty.<\/p>\n

The Campus Living page<\/a> says, \u201cChoose from our furnished rooms for individual students and unfurnished apartments for student families.\u201d The family housing page<\/a> gives priority to UWinnipeg students who are married or common law couples and single parents, and tells individual students living on their own to \u201capply for McFeetors dorms or Balmoral Houses.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The University’s International Student Services page<\/a>, which carries no date, has a heading for the UWinnipeg Community Renewal Corporation and says, \u201cThis UWinnipeg affiliated organization owns and operates a number of buildings close to campus,\u201d naming Muse Flats and West Broadway Commons among them. The UWCRC page for Muse Flats<\/a> lists UWCRC 2.0 Inc. as owner, West Broadway Commons’ site is labelled UWCRC 2.0 Inc., and the UWCRC project page for Solara Flats<\/a> lists UWCRC 2.0 Inc. as project manager without saying who operates the building.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n None of the pages for these three buildings says in so many words that the market suites are open to the general public, but each publishes suite prices with an Inquire button, so ask the building to confirm that you can apply. Affordable suites have their own rules: the Solara Flats project page says, \u201cAffordable rent levels will be 59-69% of CMHC Median Market Rent for the neighbourhood,\u201d and does not say who qualifies or which suites are affordable. The pages for the four other buildings mention no student requirement.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A building made this list only if its operator’s own page showed it renting: suites marked available, a dated move-in, or published prices with an inquiry or availability button. Rent, pets, utilities, and parking follow each operator’s wording. Distances and walking times are the operators’ own claims, and none were measured. Every price in this guide is the one shown when it was published.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We treat the University as the campus at 515 Portage Avenue, the mailing address on its admissions page. Four buildings carry a campus claim in their operators’ own words, quoted below. The Princeton, Casa Loma, and Colony Apartments make none, so they are included as lower-rent alternatives that are renting now, and distance to class is yours to weigh. Residences at Portage Commons and The Princeton are on liv.rent’s building list as of September 2, 2026, but being listed was never a reason to include a building.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mainstreet’s pages show \u201cFrom\u201d prices and a Check Availability button rather than named suites, and their metadata carries 2020 dates, so treat them as a reason to ask, not proof of a vacant suite. Sussex’s pages list named suites with move-in dates but carry metadata from 2024 and 2025. The UWCRC 2.0 Inc. and Sussex pages print rents such as \u201cRent: $899\u201d without saying per month, and we read them as monthly amounts, so confirm the period. We left out Market Lands South, a building its page says is managed by UWCRC 2.0 Inc., because that page says, \u201cWe are expected to open in November 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The lowest one-bedroom starting price is $873 a month at Residences at Portage Commons, and the highest one-bedroom price that a page ties to a unit type is $1,725 at West Broadway Commons. Three buildings say no pets outright, two carry a Pet Friendly label without rules, and two publish nothing on pets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cells quote the operators’ own wording, and \u201cNot published\u201d means the operator’s page was silent on that detail. Solara Flats’ rent column does not name unit types, and the two Mainstreet buildings’ rates are net of incentives, as their write-ups explain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nHow we checked these buildings, and what the pages left out<\/h2>\n
