Property Overview: 493 Hethrington Avenue, Lord Roberts, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a practical entry point into Winnipeg’s established Lord Roberts neighbourhood. Built in 1910, its key characteristic is its compact and efficient scale, with a living area of 724 sqft situated on a 2,499 sqft lot. The data indicates its size is below average for the area, which translates to lower utility costs and less maintenance—a genuine advantage for those seeking simplicity. Its assessed value is notably modest compared to city-wide averages, suggesting a relatively accessible price point.

The appeal lies in its location and potential. It suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a manageable property in a central, mature neighbourhood without a premium footprint. A thoughtful perspective is that a smaller, older home like this often sits on a desirable lot in a long-developed area, offering a chance to put personal savings into customization rather than paying for unused space. It’s a home for someone comfortable with a property that ranks average or below in statistical comparisons but sees value in character, location, and the opportunity to build equity over time.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 724 sqft, the living area is below the average for both Hethrington Avenue and the wider Lord Roberts neighbourhood. This indicates a cozier, more efficient layout compared to many surrounding homes.

2. What does the assessed value tell me about the property?
With an assessed value around $21,700, it sits well below the city-wide average. This typically correlates with a more accessible purchase price and correspondingly lower property taxes, but it’s essential to verify the current market price independently.

3. Is the lot size a constraint?
The 2,499 sqft lot is around average for the immediate street but below average city-wide. It provides adequate outdoor space for a small garden or patio in this urban setting, but is not suited for extensive additions or sprawling landscapes.

4. The home was built in 1910. What should I consider?
While full of period character, a 116-year-old home will likely require diligent maintenance and updates. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection to understand the condition of major systems like plumbing, electrical, and the foundation.

5. Where can I see more detailed context about the neighbourhood?
You can open the dedicated neighbourhood analysis page to view this property on a map alongside nearby homes, comparing details like year built, living area, and lot size visually.
