The cost of living is low and Winnipeggers are good folks, however, it is not a nice city...long harsh winters and lots of crime. Downtown looks like an episode of The Walking Dead (drunk aggressive people and people on meth stumbling around).

I am trying to show the increase in the cost of living from 2015 to 2017 to 2020. Looking for a chart.

I moved back to Winnipeg 20 years later and am having a hard time. Live by myself and it takes almost half of my take home pay to pay my rent... that is almost 50% net and I make 60,000+/ year... we are to have 25-30% .. nothing fancy.. why should I only be able to afford a room? On over $60,000/yr... rent & taxes are draining everyone? Why are they so high when they "oh you make good money".... i would if government would leave me more to work with... can't ever have credit card due to rent is 45% of net pay...

Jimmy on Jul 11, 2020:
is it worth moving to Winnipeg area from Toronto area?
Pegger on Jan 19, 2020:
High poverty, homelessness, chronic unemployment and crime fueled by slum landlords getting wealthy from their evil crazy high rents. High taxes and fees and tickets for just about everything. Real estate prices have skyrocketed just like all major cities in Canada, while wages have not kept up by far. Most slum landlords and house flippers are Real Estate agents/brokers here in Winnipeg....maybe that is true most places.

Winnipeg and Manitoba as whole is a great place to live and has improved tremendously over the last 10 years. The new airport,stadium,Jets New highrise apartments,hotels being built downtown. We have hot summers great beaches & cottage areas that are affordable. Southwest Manitoba is beautiful in the summer Pembina Valley area has grown rapidly. Almost 20,000 in Morden /Winkler. Lots of jobs. Available there.

Some of your prices are too high. For food. There is a variety of grocery stores here,that are very competitive. 2 litres of pop is often $1.00 or 10lbs bag of potatoes $4.99

I have lived in Winnipeg for over 50 years and have travelled extensively to the USA, South America and Europe, as well as all provinces of Canada. This city has many attractions and a very vibrant music and arts communities. You can attend a professional sport game in soccer , footbal, baseball and hockey. You can dine at some amazing restaurants and i could go on and on!!!

I'm living in Winnipeg for a couple of years now and can confirm what Hopkin said is a very realistic portrait of life here. The city does not have a lot of attractions and could be considered boring compared to other places in Canada...on the other hand if you are into lakes, peace and quiet you can find a nice spot for yourself and your family. If you are looking for a place to live here, I would advise to avoid North end and West end due to a lot of sketchy people you can meet on the street, especially during the night.
