Highlights & common questions: 252 Barlow Crescent, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This two-storey home at 252 Barlow Crescent in Dakota Crossing presents a solid, move-in-ready opportunity. Built in 1992, its key characteristics include 1,676 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, and an attached garage on a 5,275 sqft lot. The data reveals a home that is consistently above average in size and value when compared to the wider Winnipeg market, while being very typical for its immediate neighbourhood and street. This suggests you're getting a property that holds its own city-wide, within a well-established and consistent area.

The appeal lies in this balance. It offers modern, updated living space without the premium often attached to newer builds, and it sits in a mature neighbourhood with developed amenities and landscaping. It would suit practical buyers looking for a comfortable family home without unexpected extremes—whether it's an unusually large tax bill or a below-average room size. It’s a smart choice for those who value neighbourhood character and stability over a brand-new development.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this home compare to others on the street?
It is very typical for Barlow Crescent. Its living area, assessed value, and year built all rank close to the middle of the 114 homes on the street, meaning it’s a representative example of what the street offers.

Is the lot size a concern?
The lot is below the average size for Barlow Crescent but is close to the average for both the Dakota Crossing area and Winnipeg overall. It provides a manageable yard space typical of many city homes from its era.

What does the "above average city-wide" ranking mean?
While the home is average for its immediate area, its living space and assessed value place it in the top 22% and 21% of all Winnipeg homes, respectively. This indicates it is a relatively spacious and valuable property on a city scale.

The home sold in 2020 for $38,900. Is the current assessed value accurate?
The assessed value of $49,100 is a municipal valuation for tax purposes, not a market price. The 2020 sale price is not a reliable indicator of current value, as it was likely a non-arms-length transaction (such as between family members) given its significant difference from both the assessed value and typical market rates.

Who would this neighbourhood suit best?
Dakota Crossing is a mature, established neighbourhood. It suits buyers looking for settled communities with older trees, developed infrastructure, and a sense of permanence, rather than the raw, new feel of a suburban expansion area.
