Property Overview: 42 Gilia Drive, Garden City, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 3-level split home, built in 1961, presents a practical and grounded opportunity in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood. With 1,089 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers functional layout options for a growing household or those needing separate living areas. The detached garage and a 5,398 sqft lot provide valuable outdoor and storage space.
Its primary appeal lies in its established location and straightforward value. The home sits on a street where it is notably newer than many of its immediate neighbors, suggesting well-maintained older homes in the area. While the living space is modest compared to city-wide averages, it is competitively sized within its own community, offering the essentials without excess. The recently renovated basement adds modern utility to the classic split-level design.
This property would best suit first-time buyers or practical-minded families looking for an entry point into a stable neighborhood without a premium price tag. It’s also a sensible fit for investors or downsizers seeking a manageable property with a good cost-to-space ratio and the upside of a finished basement. The home appeals to those who value function over flash, in a no-fuss setting.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others in Garden City?
At 1,089 sqft, the living area is slightly below the neighborhood average but ranks in the top 70% for its specific home group, indicating it is a competitively sized option for the area, not unusually small.
2. What does the assessed value indicate?
The assessed value of $34,800 is around the average for both the street and Garden City. This suggests the property is priced consistently with its peer group, not carrying an inflated or undervalued tax assessment.
3. The home was built in 1961. What should I consider?
While an older home, it is actually newer than 85% of comparable homes on Gilia Drive. This relative age is a positive, but a thorough inspection for updates to major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing) common to homes of this era is always recommended.
4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is slightly smaller than the Garden City average but is very typical for the immediate street. It provides adequate private outdoor space without the extensive maintenance of a larger yard, which can be seen as a benefit for busy households.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale range is based on public data. To obtain the precise sold price from September 2022, you can request it directly via the email link provided on the listing page; the service promises a manual reply by the end of the same business day.
