Regina's Executive Belt · Highway 1 East

RM of Edenwold
Acreages for Sale

Ten minutes east of Regina, the prairie stops being farmland and starts being address. This is the executive belt — White City, Emerald Park and Pilot Butte strung along a four-lane freeway, where a golf-course hamlet, a town with a $690,000 median and a fresh crop of estate subdivisions all share the same exit ramp.

Three towns, one commute

The executive belt reads like a single community from the highway, but it's really three distinct addresses sharing an exit. One anchors the market, one owns the golf course, and one is the closest lights to Regina you can still call the country. Start with the one that fits how you want to live.

Buying notes

What's different about buying in the RM of Edenwold

The commute is the whole pitch

Everything about the executive belt traces back to one piece of infrastructure: the four-lane Highway 1 running straight into Regina. There's no crawl through a bedroom-suburb grid and no two-lane gamble behind a grain truck — it's a freeway run from the front gate to downtown, which is exactly why higher-income households were willing to trade a city lot for two acres out here. When people say a Regina acreage feels "close," this stretch of the Trans-Canada is usually the reason. Measure your own commute at 8 a.m. on a Tuesday, but expect to be pleasantly surprised.

Balgonie: the belt's third act

Push a few minutes further east past White City and you reach Balgonie, a full town of its own with a K-12 school and a longer, more established main street than its glossier neighbours. Balgonie is where the executive belt shades back into small-town Saskatchewan — homes and acreages here generally cost less than the White City–Emerald Park core, and the trade is a couple more minutes of highway for a noticeably friendlier price. It's the value end of the same commute.

Escott and Deneve: where the estate acreages live

The belt's true estate country isn't inside the townsites — it's on the country roads threading between them. Addresses along Escott and Deneve are where you find the multi-acre parcels and custom builds, including recent listings like the Jaxon Road estate near $1.3 million. This is the top of the local acreage market: room for the shop, the shelterbelt and the horses, with the freeway still close enough that "acreage" never means "isolated." If your search is specifically for acres rather than a town lot, start on these roads.

Annexation, handled plainly

Buyers who dig into local news will run across the White City–Emerald Park annexation question, and it's worth understanding without the drama. White City, a town, proposed absorbing Emerald Park, an adjacent hamlet; the province reviewed it and declined, and the two remain separate jurisdictions. For a homebuyer this changes very little on the ground — the schools, shops and golf are shared regardless of which side of the line a house sits on. Treat the boundary as a tax-and-governance detail, not a lifestyle one, and let the individual property lead.

Three price bands, plainly stated

The RM sorts into tiers that are easy to hold in your head. Town homes in the three main communities run roughly $340,000 to $700,000. Estate acreages on the fringe roads sit between about $650,000 and $1.4 million. And serviced building lots in the newer releases have been listing near $159,000 to $178,000 for buyers who'd rather bring their own builder. Knowing which band you're shopping saves a lot of scrolling.

The subdivision name-check

Beyond the three headline towns, the belt is filling in with a run of estate and lot subdivisions worth recognizing by name when they surface — Park Meadows, Meadow Ridge, Rock Pointe, Copper Sands and Crawford Estates among the established set. Two names to watch on the new-development front: Vista Springs, a fresh release of about eleven estate lots, and Royal Park, an ambitious master-planned project spanning hundreds of acres (roughly 481 plus 219) that could reshape the corridor's inventory over the coming years — one to track rather than bank on. One clarification that saves confusion: Great Plains is the area's industrial park, not an acreage subdivision, so if a search turns it up, that's warehouses and yards, not estate lots.

Good questions

The executive belt, asked and answered

Where is the RM of Edenwold, and why is it called Regina's executive belt?

The Rural Municipality of Edenwold No. 158 wraps Regina's eastern edge along the four-lane Highway 1, holding White City, Emerald Park, Pilot Butte and Balgonie. It's the "executive belt" because a large share of the city's higher-income households settled here — bigger homes and estate acreages a short freeway run from downtown, with their own schools, golf and services. It's the busiest acreage market in the Regina orbit, with around 45 active listings including bare land.

What do acreages and homes cost across the RM?

Three bands. Town homes in White City, Emerald Park and Pilot Butte generally run about $340,000 to $700,000, with White City's median near $691,750 as of May 2026. Estate acreages on roads like Escott and Deneve typically trade between $650,000 and $1.4 million. Serviced building lots in newer subdivisions have listed around $159,000 to $178,000. Lot size, servicing and build age decide where a given property lands.

Are White City and Emerald Park the same place?

No. They sit side by side and share a school, shopping and daily life, but they're separate jurisdictions — White City is an organized town and Emerald Park is an organized hamlet in the RM of Edenwold. White City recently proposed absorbing Emerald Park and the province declined, so the two stay distinct. For buyers the practical answer is simple: shop them as one connected community and let the individual property decide.
