Property Overview: 229 Forrest Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home at 229 Forrest Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood presents a compelling mix of modern convenience and statistical standout features. Built in 2014, it is a notably newer construction compared to most homes on its street and in Winnipeg overall. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 1,520 sqft of living space, which ranks in the top 5% for the immediate area, offering more room than the typical area home. The property also features a renovated basement, adding to its functional space.

The home’s assessed value is elite for both Forrest Avenue and the Jefferson neighbourhood, suggesting it is perceived as a high-quality asset in its local context. However, it sits on a smaller lot (2,412 sqft), which is a common trade-off for newer infill homes in established areas. This combination makes it ideal for buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance home with ample interior space, without the demands of a large yard. It would suit young professionals, small families, or downsizers who prioritize a contemporary layout and renovated finishes over expansive outdoor space. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents the modernization of an older neighbourhood, offering new-home amenities while potentially benefiting from the mature streetscape and established community feel of Jefferson.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the smaller lot size impact the property?
While the land area is below average, this is typical for newer infill homes. It translates to less exterior maintenance and yard work, which can be a benefit for many buyers. The value has clearly been invested in the living space and modern construction of the home itself.

2. The assessed value seems high for the area. Why is that?
The assessment reflects the home’s relatively new construction (2014), its above-average living area, and renovated condition compared to the many older, smaller homes that surround it. It is assessed among the top properties locally, which aligns with its modern features.

3. What is the neighbourhood like?
Jefferson is an established Winnipeg neighbourhood. The listing shows nearby properties are primarily older (1920s), indicating a mature, stable streetscape. This home offers a contemporary living experience within that established setting.

4. Is there a garage or pool?
No, the property does not have a garage or a swimming pool. This is common for infill properties and contributes to the lower-maintenance profile of the home.

5. Where can I find exact historical sale prices?
The listed sale price ranges are based on public data. To obtain the precise sold price history, you can request it via email from the source site. They provide this detail manually and state they will not use your email for unsolicited marketing.
