Property Overview: 285 Forrest Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1987 bi-level home at 285 Forrest Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood presents a practical and modern opportunity within its local market. With 973 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, its key appeal lies in its relative newness compared to most area homes; it was built decades after the neighbourhood's typical housing stock, potentially offering more contemporary construction and systems. The assessed value places it above average for Jefferson, suggesting it is a well-regarded property within the immediate area.
Its appeal is grounded in value and practicality. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, modernized footprint without the maintenance concerns of a century-old home. The renovated basement adds functional living space. A less obvious perspective is that its smaller land area (3,612 sqft) compared to city averages translates to less yard upkeep—a potential benefit for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. This isn't the largest home on the block, but its newer age and solid assessment indicate a property that stands out for its condition and era in a mature neighbourhood.
