If you’re apartment hunting in South Winnipeg right now, you’ve probably noticed Fort Richmond keeps popping up.

That’s not the algorithm being dramatic. It’s because Fort Richmond is one of those neighbourhoods that just… works.

It’s close to the places people actually need to be. It’s connected without feeling chaotic. And it’s established enough that it feels like a real community – not a “coming soon” sign with dreams.

Here’s why Fort Richmond is shaping up to be one of Winnipeg’s smartest rental moves in 2026.
 

1) You’re close to U of M (aka you get your time back)

Winnipeg winter doesn’t care about your schedule. So living close to the University of Manitoba is a legit quality-of-life upgrade.

Being in Fort Richmond can mean:

  • A quick commute by bus, bike, or car

  • Less time stuck in traffic and more time doing literally anything else

  • Easier mornings (and fewer “I’m gonna be late” sprints)

Fort Richmond keeps you near campus without feeling like you live in a student bubble.
 

2) Victoria Hospital is nearby (and shift workers deserve peace)

Fort Richmond isn’t just for students – it’s also a strong spot for healthcare workers because Victoria General Hospital is nearby.

If you’ve ever done a long shift, you already know:

  • a 10-minute commute home feels like self-care.

  • a shorter commute turns ‘getting home’ into ‘being home.

That healthcare presence also keeps the area steady year-round – it’s not a neighbourhood that empties out the second the semester ends.
 

3) Pembina Highway makes everything easier (without living in traffic)

Fort Richmond sits just off Pembina Highway, which basically means you’re connected to everything without needing a 12-step route plan.

From here, you’re close to:

  • Major bus routes and rapid transit access

  • Groceries, cafés, restaurants, and daily essentials

  • Investors Group Field for games and events

  • Quick routes to St. Vital and other South Winnipeg hubs

You get convenience without the “why is it so loud here” vibe.
 

4) It’s established, not “we’re still figuring it out”

Some areas feel like they’re still in beta mode. Fort Richmond is the finished product.

It’s got:

  • Great community

  • Parks and walking paths

  • Schools and long-time residents

  • A calm, lived-in feel

Translation: it feels stable. Like a place you can actually settle into.
 

5) Strong rental fundamentals without downtown pricing

South Winnipeg keeps pulling steady rental demand – especially near campus and healthcare.

Fort Richmond gives you:

  • A solid location

  • Real transit access

  • Daily convenience

  • Long-term value

Without paying downtown-core prices just to “be near things.”

 

Where does 65 Kirkbridge fit into this?

Here’s the part that matters if you’re thinking about what’s next.

65 Kirkbridge Drive is bringing brand-new apartment living into Fort Richmond – which is kind of the dream combo: modern building, established neighbourhood.

What you’ll actually care about day-to-day:

  • Brand-new suites with modern layouts

  • In-suite laundry (because shared laundry rooms build character… but not in a good way)

  • LG stainless steel appliances

  • Internet + water included

  • Fitness room and bike storage

  • Pet-friendly living

  • Optional parking

It’s the stability of Fort Richmond, with the comfort of a new build. No drama.

 

Why it matters

If you’re looking for a smart rental move in 2026 – especially near U of M or Victoria Hospital – Fort Richmond deserves a serious look.

Connected. Stable. Established. Practical.

The kind of neighbourhood that makes your day easier without making your wallet cry.

Pre-leasing is already underway for 65 Kirkbridge Drive.
 

Question for you: what’s your non-negotiable in a new apartment – in-suite laundry, location, pet-friendly, or “please just be quiet at night”? Drop it in the comments.

Pet-Friendly Rentals in Winnipeg: Thorwin Properties Welcomes Pets (No Pet Deposit Required) https://www.65kirkbridge.ca/blog/2025/12/16/petfriendly-rentals-in-winnipeg-thorwin-properties-welcomes-pets-no-pet-deposit-required/ Tue, 16 Dec 2025 16:31:00 +0000 https://www.65kirkbridge.ca/blog/?p=19 If you’re hunting for an apartment for rent in Winnipeg and you’ve got a pet (or plan to), you already know the deal: you find a place you love, you picture the couch, the coffee corner, the whole vibe… then you scroll and see “no pets” or a pile of extra fees.

If you’re hunting for an apartment for rent in Winnipeg and you’ve got a pet (or plan to), you already know the deal: you find a place you love, you picture the couch, the coffee corner, the whole vibe… then you scroll and see “no pets” or a pile of extra fees.

Thorwin Properties does it the old-school, common-sense way: we’re pet-friendly, we know your pet is family, and a pet deposit is not required. Because moving is expensive enough, and you shouldn’t have to choose between a good home and your best friend with four legs.

Whether you’re looking for pet-friendly apartments in Winnipeg, a townhome with more space, or a rental home for the long haul, Thorwin offers rental options designed for real life—pets included.
 

Why pet-friendliness matters when you’re renting in Winnipeg

Winnipeg is a city of seasons. That means your home isn’t just where you sleep—it’s where you live (especially when it’s -30 and the wind is committing crimes). Pets are a huge part of that.

A pet-friendly rental isn’t just a checkbox. It’s peace of mind:

  • You can move without worrying your pet will “disqualify” you

  • Your routine actually works (walks, playtime, cuddle time… the essentials)

  • Your home feels like home, not a temporary stopover

And when a pet deposit isn’t required, that’s one less upfront cost standing between you and move-in day.
 

No pet deposit required: why is that a big deal?

Let’s be real: deposits, moving trucks, utility set-ups, and “how did I spend that much at HomeSense?” adds up fast.

Not requiring a pet deposit helps renters:

  • Keep more cash in hand at move-in

  • Budget with fewer surprises

  • Focus on the basics that matter: rent, furniture, and settling in

It’s a straightforward policy that respects renters and recognizes what most of us already know: pets aren’t accessories—they’re household members.
 

Pet-friendly rental options: apartments, townhomes, and homes

Different stages of life call for different kinds of homes. Thorwin Properties offers a mix of rental styles, so you can choose what fits your lifestyle (and your pet’s).
 

Pet-friendly apartments for rent in Winnipeg

Apartments are ideal if you want:

  • A manageable space that’s easy to maintain

  • A convenient location for commuting, school, or errands

  • A professional rental experience with clear expectations

Great for: students, young professionals, downsizers, and anyone who likes keeping life simple.
 

Pet-friendly townhomes for rent

Townhomes are the sweet spot when you want:

  • More room than a typical apartment

  • Extra privacy and a more “house-like” feel

  • A layout that works for couples, roommates, or families

Great for: people who want space to stretch out (and pets who prefer a bit more breathing room).
 

Pet-friendly rental homes in Winnipeg

Rental homes can be the best fit if you’re looking for:

  • More overall space and storage

  • A long-term “settle in and stay awhile” vibe

  • A home that supports family life, work-from-home life, and pet life all at once

Great for: families, long-term renters, and anyone who wants that classic “this is our place” feeling.
 

What to look for in a pet-friendly rental (so you don’t get burned later)

When comparing pet-friendly listings in Winnipeg, here’s what smart renters check right away:

  • Is it clearly stated that pets are allowed?

  • Do they confirm no pet deposit required (in writing is always best)?

  • Are there nearby walking routes or green space for daily walks?

  • Does the layout work for your pet’s routine (space, flooring, storage)?

  • Is the property professionally managed with clear communication?

Pro tip: if a listing is vague about pets, don’t assume. Ask. Saving yourself a headache is a Winnipeg tradition.
 

Being a great pet neighbour (the “don’t be that person” section)

Pet-friendly communities work best when everyone does their part. Most buildings follow the same respectful basics:

  • Clean up after your pet (always)

  • Keep pets under control in common areas

  • Be mindful of noise (especially in shared hallways and evenings)

  • Follow any property-specific pet guidelines so everyone’s comfortable

It’s not about being strict—it’s about keeping the community calm, clean, and enjoyable for everybody.
 

Pet-friendly living in Winnipeg: the lifestyle perks

Winnipeg renters often choose homes based on how life flows day-to-day:

  • Commute time

  • Nearby grocery and errands

  • Access to transit

  • Walkability for pets (especially in winter when convenience matters)

A pet-friendly place that’s also well-located is the real win: less stress, smoother routines, and way more “this works” energy.
 

FAQs: Pet-friendly rentals with Thorwin Properties

Do you require a pet deposit?

No. Thorwin Properties is pet-friendly, and a pet deposit is not required.
 

What types of rentals do you offer in Winnipeg?

A mix of apartments, townhomes, and rental homes, depending on what’s available.

How do I find current pet-friendly vacancies?

The fastest path is to contact the leasing team and share what you need (area of Winnipeg, budget, bedrooms, and pet type). That way you’re only looking at options that actually match.
 

Ready to find a pet-friendly place in Winnipeg?

If you’re searching for a pet-friendly apartment for rent in Winnipeg (or a townhome or rental home) and you want a clear, practical policy with no pet deposit required, Thorwin Properties is a good place to start.

If you’re coming to Winnipeg for college or university (or you’re already here and ready to stop living like a raccoon in a random sublet), put this on your shortlist: 65 Kirkbridge Drive is a brand-new, purpose-built rental community opening for June 1, 2026, move-ins in South Winnipeg, just off Pembina Highway in the Fort Richmond / Fort Rouge area.

This is modern, practical living built for real life in Winnipeg: clean finishes, student-friendly essentials, and a location that keeps you connected to campus, work, and everyday errands.
 

A smart home base for Winnipeg colleges and universities

65 Kirkbridge Drive is a great fit for international students attending campuses across the city, including:

  • University of Manitoba (U of M)

  • University of Winnipeg (UWinnipeg)

  • Red River College Polytechnic (RRC Polytechnic)

  • Herzing College Winnipeg (Herzing Career College)

Even though you may be commuting to different campuses, living near Pembina Highway keeps you on a major south Winnipeg route with straightforward access to transit, shopping, and services—so you can spend less time figuring out the city and more time actually living in it.
 

Why would students (and roommates) like living here?

When you’re new to Canada, the best apartment is the one that makes life simple. 65 Kirkbridge Drive is designed to do exactly that, with suite features like:

  • In-suite laundry (your future self says thank you)

  • LG stainless steel appliances

  • Quartz countertops

  • Modern layouts that feel clean, bright, and functional
     

Utilities that make budgeting easier

Monthly costs shouldn’t feel like a surprise quiz. 65 Kirkbridge Drive is planned to include high-speed internet + water with rent (on a 12-month lease), so your budget is easier to predict.
 

Suite options that work for solo living or roommates

Whether you want your own space or you’re planning to split costs with a roommate, you’ll be able to choose from a mix of:

  • 1 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom

  • 2 Bedrooms / 1 Bathroom

  • 2 Bed rooms / 2 Bathrooms

That means: a quieter set-up for studying, or a roommate-friendly layout that doesn’t feel cramped.
 

New to Winnipeg? Here’s what to do next

If you’re an international student planning for late May 2026 (or later), a little prep now makes leasing way easier:

  • Decide your ideal move-in window (late May 2026 vs. summer vs. fall intake)

  • Pick your must-haves (1 bed vs 2 beds, pet-friendly, parking, etc.)

  • Think through your commute plan to campus (transit, bike, walk, drive)

  • Keep a short list of questions ready (lease terms, deposits, timing, next steps)
     

People also ask about 65 Kirkbridge Drive

Is 65 Kirkbridge Drive a good option for University of Manitoba students?

Yes — it’s located in South Winnipeg near Pembina Highway, a common student corridor.

Is 65 Kirkbridge Drive suitable for Herzing College Winnipeg students?

Modern Living in Fort Richmond: Introducing 65 Kirkbridge Drive

Fort Richmond is getting something it hasn’t seen in a while: a brand-new, purpose-built rental community designed for how people live today. Rising seven storeys just off Pembina Highway, 65 Kirkbridge Drive brings modern suites, practical amenities, and a location that keeps work, school, and everyday errands close to home—right in Winnipeg’s Fort Richmond community.

Opening for move-ins starting June 1, 2026, this Thorwin Properties community is set to become a new go-to address in South Winnipeg for people who want to live, work, and stay rooted in the neighbourhood they love.
 

A Connected, Community-Focused Neighbourhood

65 Kirkbridge Drive is a 78-suite apartment community in the heart of Fort Richmond, part of the broader Fort Rouge community in South Winnipeg. It’s built for people who already live, study, or work in the area—and for those who want to join a community instead of starting over somewhere completely new.

From here, residents are just minutes from:

  • University of Manitoba – ideal for students, faculty, and staff
  • Victoria General Hospital – a short commute for healthcare workers
  • Princess Auto Stadium – for CFL games and concerts
  • Pembina Highway transit and rapid transit – easy access to downtown and across the city
  • Shopping and services – nearby malls, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, and cafés

Turn off Pembina and things get quieter and more residential, with schools, parks, and green spaces close by. It’s the mix many renters want: urban convenience with a lived-in community feel, where you’re likely to recognize faces at the bus stop, the grocery store, or the local café.

For current Fort Rouge / Fort Richmond residents, 65 Kirkbridge offers a way to upgrade to a brand-new home without leaving the area. For newcomers, it’s a chance to plug into an established neighbourhood that already feels like a community.
 

Suites Designed for Everyday Life

The floor plans at 65 Kirkbridge were drawn with real renters in mind—not just pretty brochures. The building offers a mix of:

  • 1-bedroom / 1-bathroom suites
  • 2-bedroom / 1-bathroom suites
  • 2-bedroom / 2-bathroom suites

Suites range from efficient one-bedrooms to comfortable two-bedrooms, roughly 535 to 875 square feet. Layouts focus on open living areas, smart storage, and flexible spaces that work for studying, remote work, or relaxing at the end of the day.

Every suite includes:

  • In-suite washer and dryer – no more shared laundry rooms
  • LG stainless steel kitchen appliances – fridge, range, dishwasher, and microwave
  • Quartz countertops and modern cabinetry
  • Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout – stylish, durable, and pet-friendly
  • Juliet or full-size private balconies in select suites

It’s the kind of place that feels move-in ready from day one—without extra trips to the hardware store.

Built-in value: internet and water included

Extra monthly costs can add up fast. At 65 Kirkbridge, Thorwin has bundled key essentials into the rent to make budgeting simpler.

Residents benefit from:

  • High-speed internet included
  • Water included

Fewer separate accounts, fewer surprises, and a clearer picture of your actual monthly cost. Combine that with brand-new appliances, finishes, and building systems, and the value becomes even more compelling compared to older buildings in the area.

Amenities that Fit your Routine

Instead of flashy features that look good on paper and never get used, 65 Kirkbridge focuses on everyday practicality. Residents will have access to:

  • Fully equipped fitness facility
  • Secure bike storage
  • Indoor and outdoor parking options

The building is being designed for secure entry and easy circulation, creating a comfortable environment for residents coming and going at all hours—especially students and healthcare staff on rotating shifts.

 

Pet-friendly, without Extra Barriers

For many renters, the first question is, “Can I bring my pet?”

At 65 Kirkbridge, the answer is yes. The building is pet-friendly for cats and dogs, and in keeping with Thorwin’s portfolio-wide approach, no pet deposit is required.

Nearby parks and trails make daily walks easier for dog owners, while durable flooring and modern finishes help suites stand up to everyday life with pets.
 

A Thorwin Community

Thorwin Properties has built a strong presence in Winnipeg by focusing on well-managed, well-presented rental communities across the city. 65 Kirkbridge continues that approach with:

  • Clear, straightforward information for prospective renters
  • A focus on clean, modern, well-maintained buildings
  • A resident-first mindset that treats each suite as someone’s home—not just a unit on a rent roll

From pre-leasing through move-in and beyond, the goal is to keep the process calm, transparent, and well-supported, so residents feel at home in both the building and the Fort Rouge community around it.
 

Pre-leasing for units starts in January 2026

Pre-leasing for 65 Kirkbridge Drive is now underway, with move-ins starting June 1, 2026. Renters looking for a brand-new, pet-friendly apartment in the Fort Rouge / Fort Richmond area—with in-suite laundry, modern finishes, and high-speed internet included—will want this community on their shortlist.

To learn more about floor plans, pricing, and availability, contact Thorwin Properties at 431-778-4565 or visit our website for the latest leasing details.

Why does this matter in Fort Richmond (and the surrounding south end)?

Fort Richmond is known for being close to what people actually use: campus, transit, parks, and Pembina’s service corridor — without feeling like you’re living on top of the traffic. It’s also home to green space like Kirkbridge Park and nearby parks like Bairdmore Park. Walk Score

And for anyone widening their search: Fort Rouge is a separate south-central area (closer to the Assiniboine and Red Rivers), but Pembina is one of the major connectors between these neighbourhoods — so you’re still plugged into the same “get around Winnipeg without suffering” corridor. Wikipedia
