Property Overview: 653 Mountain Avenue
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-a-half storey home on Mountain Avenue presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Inkster-Faraday neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average living space for the immediate area. At 1,488 sqft, it offers significantly more room than most comparable homes on its street and in the neighbourhood, ranking in the top 15%. This makes it a standout for buyers seeking space without a premium price tag in this locale. The home features a detached garage and a basement (not renovated), and was built in 1949, making it newer than many surrounding properties.
The property suits first-time buyers, practical investors, or downsizers who prioritize interior square footage over a large yard, as the lot is more compact than others on the street. Its assessed value is consistent with similar homes nearby, suggesting a stable, no-surprises entry point into the market. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is below average for the city, it translates to less exterior maintenance—a potential benefit for those seeking a simpler footprint. The home’s value proposition is clearly in its efficient use of space within a well-established, no-frills community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s size compare to others in the area?
Very favourably. With 1,488 sqft of living area, this home is larger than approximately 87% of comparable homes on Mountain Avenue and 94% in the wider Inkster-Faraday neighbourhood.

The lot is 3,071 sqft. It is smaller than average for Mountain Avenue but is generally in line with the typical lot size for the broader Inkster-Faraday area.
