Property Overview
This single-storey home at 270 Island Shore Boulevard in Winnipeg's Island Lakes neighbourhood presents a specific value proposition. Built in 1987, it features 1,045 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, and a detached garage on a 4,002 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its relative affordability within a popular, established area. The assessed value of $380k is notably below the local neighbourhood average, positioning it as a more accessible entry point into Island Lakes.
The home suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable footprint without a major renovation project, thanks to the updated basement. Its size and lot are modest compared to most homes on its street and in Island Lakes, which typically offer larger properties. This creates a practical, lower-maintenance option in a community known for its lakes and pathways. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home ranks below area averages for size and value, it sits close to the city-wide average for assessed value, suggesting you're paying primarily for the location and community amenities rather than for a large physical structure.
