Driving through Pritchard Farm Properties last winter, one could see children playing on homemade skating rinks. Standing shoulder to shoulder, neighbours had worked together to clear the ice for the enjoyment of all. It is the kind of community feeling that is contagious. When local developer Art Defehr and project manager Dennis Neumann launched the 500-acre multi-phase development, they chose a blend of country and urban settings that would attract residents from every walk of life.

"There's a real sense of community established here," says Sales Manager Wayne Penner. "A number of families with young children are moving in, along with couples who are buying for retirement."

Located just north of the perimeter, off Henderson Highway, this idyllic community offers the opportunity to leave behind the bustle of the city, without leaving behind its many amenities. Incorporating a park, a winding creek, a lake and meandering trails among the mature foliage, evergreens and ponds, Pritchard Farm Properties continues to be received as one of the premier developments of Winnipeg.
