Cherryland

The area loosely borders Winnipeg and Fairview Streets on the east, Moosejaw and Timmins Street on the west, Eckhardt Avenue on the north and Douglas and Hastings Avenue on the South. The Windsor Avenue area is called ‘Cherryland’ by many of its residents based on the original marketing of a portion of the neighbourhood in the 1940s. Cherryland is a residential neighbourhood constructed largely in the 1940s and 1950s (post war era) and features single family homes on relatively large lots with rear lane access. The main feature of the neighbourhood is Windsor Park, part of the original Ellis Ranch / Homestead. Housing generally is of 1.5 storey height with generous yards and mature front yard landscaping. There is development pressure on many of these streets for infill development (4-6 units per lot), subdivision of larger lots into skinny lots, new construction often at 2 storeys in height and development occurring closer to the street than the prevailing building line.
