Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home at 185 Barlow Crescent in Dakota Crossing is a well-proportioned and established property. Built in 1995, it is notably newer than most homes in Winnipeg and is among the newest on its own street, suggesting potentially fewer major age-related concerns. With 1,671 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers comfortable room for a family. The attached garage and a 5,604 sqft lot provide practical suburban living.

Its appeal lies in its strong, balanced positioning. The home consistently ranks above average citywide for size, assessed value, and age. Within its immediate neighbourhood and street, it sits comfortably in the middle to upper range of comparable properties, indicating it's a solid, competitive offering without being an outlier. This isn't a fixer-upper or a luxury statement; it's a move-in ready home that represents a stable, above-average investment in a mature community.

This property would suit buyers looking for a pragmatic family home in a settled area—perhaps first-time buyers moving from a condo or a young family seeking space and stability. It’s for those who value a home that has been maintained and updated (as seen with the basement renovation) and appreciate a property that holds its own in broader city comparisons.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to others nearby?
The home’s assessed value is above average for both the city and its own street, but around the median for the wider Dakota Crossing area. This suggests it is priced consistently with the neighbourhood while holding a slight premium on its specific crescent, likely due to its newer build year and renovations.

2. Is the lot size typical for the area?
At just over 5,600 sqft, the lot is slightly above average for Dakota Crossing but around the average for Barlow Crescent itself. It offers a standard suburban yard space—manageable for maintenance with room for recreation or gardening.

3. What does the "newer build year" really mean for a 1995 home?
While 1995 isn't new, it's significantly newer than Winnipeg's average home (built in 1966). On Barlow Crescent, it ranks in the top 4% by age. This often translates to modern construction standards, more contemporary floorplans, and possibly updated core components like wiring and plumbing compared to much of the city's housing stock.

4. The home last sold in 2019. What should I consider?
The 2019 sale provides a recent market benchmark. Given the renovations and general market movement since then, a current appraisal and inspection are essential to understand its present condition and value relative to the $400k price from five years ago.

5. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 1,671 sqft, it has more living area than the average Winnipeg home. On its street and in Dakota Crossing, it is very close to the average size, meaning it won’t feel unusually large or small compared to its immediate neighbours—it fits right in.
