Highlights & common questions: 360 Kensington Street, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This one-storey home at 360 Kensington Street is a compact, century-old property that presents a clear value proposition. Its key appeal lies in its position as one of the most affordable entry points into Winnipeg’s Kensington neighbourhood. With a modest 704 sqft living area and an unrenovated basement, it is not a move-in-ready or spacious family home. Instead, its primary characteristic is its low assessed value, which is significantly below averages for the street, area, and city. The lot size is relatively standard for the immediate street but smaller than typical city lots.

This property would suit a specific type of buyer: an investor looking for a rental property with a low acquisition cost, or a very hands-on, budget-conscious first-time buyer willing to live in the home while gradually making improvements over time. Its age (built in 1918) suggests potential character but also implies a need for careful inspection of major systems. The appeal is fundamentally about location and price, offering a foothold in the area without the premium of a larger or updated home.

A less obvious perspective is that its below-average metrics across the board might offer a degree of insulation from property tax increases compared to more valuable homes nearby. Additionally, its smaller size and lot could mean lower ongoing utility and maintenance costs, which aligns with a minimalist or efficiency-focused lifestyle.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the average home?
The assessed value reflects the home's smaller size, age, and condition (including an unrenovated basement). It is priced as a basic, no-frills property, making it an outlier in terms of affordability within its context.

2. What type of work might this home need?
Given its age (1918) and the note of an unrenovated basement, a buyer should budget for potential updates to foundational systems like wiring, plumbing, and heating. The basement condition also suggests possible moisture management or insulation projects.

3. Is this a good investment property?
Its low entry cost could make it viable for a rental investment, offering the potential for positive cash flow in a established neighbourhood. However, profitability would depend heavily on the cost of necessary repairs and ongoing maintenance related to its age.

4. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 704 sqft, the living area is below average for Kensington Street, the broader Kensington area, and Winnipeg overall. This confirms it is a compact home, likely with one or two bedrooms and limited common space.

5. What are the immediate next steps if I'm interested?
Request the exact sold price history to understand recent market activity for this specific property. Then, arrange a thorough inspection by a qualified professional to assess the condition of the century-old structure and basement, which is crucial for informed decision-making.
