Property Overview
This 4-level split home at 71 Forest Park Drive in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking space and value. Built in 1965, the home features a generous 2,620 sqft of living area and sits on a large, nearly 9,000 sqft lot, with the added benefit of a renovated basement and an attached garage. Its appeal lies in its above-average scale and land size compared to both the immediate street and the wider neighborhood, offering a sense of privacy and room to grow that is increasingly rare. The property would suit growing families or multi-generational households needing flexible space across its four levels, as well as value-conscious buyers looking for a home with a solid footprint in a well-established area. A thoughtful perspective is that while the assessed value is strong locally, it remains around the city-wide average, suggesting the home's substantial physical attributes may offer more "house" for the dollar here than in many other parts of the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's size truly compare?
The living area is in the top 18% on its own street and the top 2% within Garden City, meaning it is significantly larger than most local homes. The lot size is even more standout, ranking in the top 3% of the neighborhood.
2. What does the sold price history indicate?
Public records show a sale in May 2017 in the $34.5k-$37.5k range. The current assessed value is $43.30k. For an exact historical sold price, you can request details via email from the listing source.
3. Is the 1965 build date a concern?
The year built ranks in the top 6% on its street and top 15% in Garden City, meaning it is newer than many comparable homes in the area. This suggests well-established infrastructure and mature landscaping, but a standard inspection is always recommended.
4. Who might this property not suit?
The 4-level split layout requires navigating multiple staircases, which may not be ideal for those with mobility concerns. Buyers seeking a brand-new, maintenance-free home or specific modern amenities like a pool would also need to factor in potential updates.
5. How is the value positioned for the wider Winnipeg market?
While the assessed value is above average for Garden City, it sits around the 31st percentile city-wide. This indicates you are acquiring a property with elite physical characteristics for the neighborhood at a price point that is median for the entire city, highlighting its potential as a value-oriented purchase.
