Property Summary: 42 Willow Brook Road, Bridgwater Lakes

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 2018, presents a compelling opportunity in Winnipeg’s Bridgwater Lakes neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in a combination of modern construction, above-average space, and a strong value position within the wider market. The home features a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a generous living area of over 2,800 sqft set on a large lot exceeding 11,700 sqft.

The data suggests this isn't just another suburban home. It ranks in the top tier for lot size, living space, and assessed value not only in its immediate area but across the entire city. Specifically, its assessed value places it in the top 0% of all Winnipeg properties, indicating official recognition of its premium standing. The significant appreciation from its 2019 sale price further underscores its solid investment trajectory.

This property would suit buyers looking for a modern, move-in-ready home who also prioritize long-term value growth. It’s ideal for a growing family seeking ample indoor and outdoor space in a sought-after community. The strong rankings appeal to data-driven buyers who appreciate concrete metrics on a home’s relative worth, not just its aesthetic features.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the assessed value ranking actually mean?
The ranking shows that this home’s city-assessed value is higher than 100% of comparable properties in Winnipeg, placing it in the top 0%. This is a strong, objective indicator of its premium market position and perceived value by municipal assessors.

2. The home is newer (2018), but how does it compare to others on the street?
While modern, it’s not the newest on Willow Brook Road, ranking better than only 32% of street neighbours for year built. The appeal here is a balance of contemporary construction without being part of the very latest phase, potentially offering more established landscaping and settled infrastructure.

3. Is the renovated basement a legal suite?
The listing specifies a "renovated basement" but does not state it is a legal secondary suite. Buyers should verify the permits and legal status of the renovations with the city and their inspector if a rental income suite is a priority.

4. How stable is the value in this specific part of Bridgwater Lakes?
The data shows the home has significantly outperformed most of Winnipeg in value growth since 2019. Its consistent top-tier rankings for lot size, living area, and value within the neighbourhood suggest it’s a standout property in a stable, desirable area, which typically supports enduring value.

5. The lot is large, but what is the practical benefit?
The lot size is in the top 6% of the neighbourhood, offering exceptional outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or future additions like a deck or shed. This is a key differentiator in newer communities where lot sizes can be more modest, providing rare room to grow and privacy.
