If you are working at Uman anywhere in crescentwood is very central and easy to get down to the uofm.
there is an express bus on stafford avenue when you are looking at the map, it goes directly to uman with minimal stops along the way.
by car its easy too.
THE area to live in Winnipeg for now and the future:
