Highlights & common questions: 2179 Ness Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This single-storey home on Ness Avenue in Jameswood presents a straightforward, no-frills opportunity. Built in 1957, its key characteristic is its modest scale, with approximately 1,014 square feet of living space and a standard 5,400 sqft lot. The data indicates it is a value-oriented property, with an assessed value significantly below the averages for its immediate street, neighborhood, and the wider city. Notably, its year of construction is among the newest in Jameswood, suggesting potentially fewer age-related concerns than many area comparables.

Its appeal lies in its affordability and simplicity. It suits a first-time buyer seeking an entry point into the market, an investor looking for a rental property, or a downsizer who prioritizes low maintenance and cost over size. A less obvious perspective is that its below-average assessment could represent a lower property tax burden relative to similar-sized homes, and its newer construction date within the neighborhood might mean foundational or structural elements are in relatively better condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the assessed value tell me about this property?
The assessed value is notably below average for the area, which typically indicates a more affordable purchase price and correspondingly lower property taxes. It often reflects the home's modest size and simpler finishes.

2. How does the size of this home compare to others?
At just over 1,000 sqft, the living area is compact. It is below the average size for homes on Ness Avenue and across Winnipeg, positioning it as a cozy, low-maintenance space rather than a spacious family home.

3. The home was built in 1957. Should I be concerned about its age?
While 69 years old, the data shows this home is actually among the newer properties in the Jameswood neighborhood. This relative standing suggests major systems may have been updated over time, and it might have fewer inherent age-related issues than many of its neighbors.

4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is a fairly standard size for the area. It provides adequate outdoor space without being overly burdensome to maintain. It’s a balanced feature—not a sprawling yard, but also not overly cramped.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The listing service provides estimated sold price ranges from public data. To obtain the precise sale price, you must request it directly from them via email, as they manually verify and provide this detail.
