Property Overview: 680 Walker Avenue, Lord Roberts, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a compact, century-old home (built 1912) on a standard city lot in the established Lord Roberts neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its position as an affordable entry point into a central Winnipeg community. At 700 sqft, the living space is modest—significantly below average for the city—making it a true character home or starter property rather than a spacious family residence.

The lot size of 2,207 sqft is a notable positive for the immediate street, ranking above average on Walker Avenue. This offers valuable outdoor potential relative to nearby homes. Financially, its assessed value is unassuming and sits around the average for the local area, suggesting manageable property taxes. Recent sale history indicates steady appreciation.

This property would best suit a first-time buyer, an investor looking for a rental property, or someone seeking a lower-maintenance footprint without leaving a central location. It appeals to practicality over grandeur, offering the chance to live in a mature neighbourhood while keeping initial costs down. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller size and older vintage could be seen as an opportunity for creative renovation or energy-efficient upgrades, adding modern comfort to classic charm.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the living area too small?
At 700 sqft, the home is compact. It is below average for the neighbourhood and significantly below the citywide average. It would suit individuals, couples, or those comfortable with efficient use of space.

2. How does the assessed value affect property taxes?
With an assessed value that is around average for Lord Roberts but below the city average, the property likely carries a relatively modest tax burden compared to many Winnipeg homes, which is a key part of its affordability.

3. What does the lot size mean for me?
The lot is 2,207 sqft. While below average citywide, it ranks above average for Walker Avenue itself. This means you likely have more usable outdoor space than many direct neighbours, which is a plus for gardening, entertaining, or future additions.

4. The home is over 110 years old. What should I consider?
A 1912 build means character but also requires due diligence. Potential buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection to understand the condition of major systems (plumbing, electrical, foundation) and plan for maintenance consistent with a century-old structure.

5. How can I find out the exact past sale prices?
The listed sale prices (e.g., CA$300k–350k in 2022) are estimated ranges from public data. The page provides an option to submit your email to request the exact, verified sold price history directly from the site administrators.
