Address · Tax-Assessed Value
This home offers roughly 1,040 square feet of living space, which is smaller than most homes on Niagara Street, in Central River Heights, and citywide in Winnipeg. The assessed value sits around $375,000—about average for the area, though it ranks higher against the wider city. Built in 1951, the home is older than many nearby properties, but it sits on a larger-than-average lot of 5,387 square feet, which is a standout feature. The appeal here is land, not square footage. Buyers who value outdoor space, gardening potential, or future expansion possibilities will see the real asset. It’s best suited for someone willing to take on an older home with modest interiors, in exchange for a generous lot in a established, central neighbourhood. First-time buyers looking for more room to grow, or renovators wanting to add value through an addition or redevelopment, should take a close look.
1. How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
It’s on the smaller side. The average living area on Niagara Street is roughly 1,491 square feet, and in Central River Heights it’s about 1,346. At 1,040 square feet, this home falls in the bottom 13% on the street and bottom 20% in the area.
2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the sale price?
Assessed value is one piece of the puzzle, but it’s not a guarantee. This property’s assessment is around average for the neighbourhood, which suggests the price may be reasonable—but the larger lot and older home could push the final number either way depending on buyer demand.
3. What’s the advantage of a larger lot in this area?
A bigger lot (5,387 sqft) gives you flexibility that many nearby homes don’t have. You could add a garage, build a garden suite, expand the house, or simply enjoy more privacy and outdoor living. It’s a rare feature in a mature neighbourhood where lots tend to be smaller and more uniform.
4. Should I be concerned about the age of the home?
Homes built in 1951 can have great bones, but they also come with maintenance realities—think old wiring, plumbing, insulation, and possibly a foundation that needs attention. It’s wise to budget for updates, but the age also means the home has character and solid construction that newer builds sometimes lack.
5. Who typically buys this type of property?
It tends to attract buyers who prioritize location and land over immediate move-in perfection. That includes young families wanting a backyard in a central area, investors looking to renovate and flip, or homeowners planning a long-term project. It’s less suited for someone wanting a turnkey home with no work ahead.
