Highlights & common questions: 538 Rathgar Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This home at 538 Rathgar Avenue is a classic 1912 residence in Winnipeg's Lord Roberts neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average space and value within its immediate, established area. With 1,252 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 14% for size on its own street and the top 21% within Lord Roberts, making it a notably roomier option compared to many local peers. The assessed value of $300k positions it above average for the street but below the city-wide average, suggesting a potential value proposition for the location.

The home suits buyers looking for character in a mature neighbourhood, who prioritize interior space over a large lot. It’s a practical choice for someone wanting to be in a central community without a premium city-wide price tag, and could appeal to those comfortable with the maintenance and charm of a century-old home. A less obvious perspective is that its "average" rankings for lot size and year built on its street indicate it fits the neighbourhood's historic fabric perfectly—it’s not an outlier, but a consistent part of the streetscape.
