Property Overview: 280 Barlow Crescent, Dakota Crossing

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-positioned two-storey home in Dakota Crossing offers a compelling blend of space, modern updates, and established neighbourhood charm. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 2,040 sqft of living area, which ranks in the top 4% of homes on its own street and the top 11% within the Dakota Crossing area, providing significantly more room than local averages. The home is further enhanced by a renovated basement, adding functional living space, and includes an attached garage.

The data reveals a thoughtful perspective: while the lot size is more compact compared to some immediate neighbours, this translates to less yard maintenance without sacrificing the benefits of a mature community. Built in 1992, the home sits in a sweet spot—old enough to be in a well-established area with grown landscaping, yet recent enough to avoid the major upkeep concerns of much older properties. Its assessed value consistently ranks above average across street, neighbourhood, and city-wide comparisons, indicating a solid and recognized valuation.

This property would ideally suit growing families or professionals seeking move-in-ready space without the premium of a brand-new build. It’s also a strong match for buyers who value a renovated interior and above-average square footage but prefer a manageable outdoor space. The numbers suggest it’s a home that offers a tangible step up in size within its immediate circle, making it a standout in its local market tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size impact the property?
At 5,055 sqft, the lot is smaller than some on the street but is close to the average for Dakota Crossing overall. This means easier, lower-maintenance yard care while still providing private outdoor space, which can be a practical advantage.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value indicate?
The home’s assessed value ranks in the top 7-19% across comparison groups, reflecting that official valuations consistently place it above most peers. This often correlates with the home’s larger living area and renovations, but it’s important to note that market sale price can differ.

3. Is the renovated basement finished to a high standard?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, which typically means it’s a functional, livable space. For specific details on finish quality, permits, or the scope of work, a viewing and inquiry with the seller is recommended.

4. The home sold in 2021; is the price history relevant?
The 2021 sale price provides context for market trends and previous turnover. However, current market conditions, updates made since then, and recent comparable sales will be the primary drivers of today’s value.

5. What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Dakota Crossing is an established neighbourhood from the 1990s, typically featuring family-friendly amenities, mature trees, and a community feel. The presence of many similar-era homes suggests a stable, residential environment.
