Crescentwood, Winnipeg

Crescentwood, Winnipeg
For the electoral division in Manitoba in approximately the same location as this neighbourhood, see Crescentwood.

Crescentwood was developed by noted Winnipeg real estate agent C. H. Enderton.

The original Enderton development included a major portion of Crescentwood and a small corner of River Heights. In 1904, Enderton laid out Yale, Harvard, Kingsway and Dromore Avenues. He also purchased lots to create Oxford Street and the east side of Waverley north to Wellington Crescent. All the property on the river side of Wellington Crescent from Grosvenor Avenue to just beyond Elm Street in River Heights was his as well.

Many of the wealthiest residents moved into the new neighbourhood from 1904 until the 1913 recession. The remaining lots sold as the economy recovered.

Today, Crescentwood remains a wealthy neighbourhood adjacent to River Heights.
