Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 38 Balaban Place in Winnipeg's Mission Gardens neighbourhood presents a distinct profile defined by its generous outdoor space and efficient footprint. Its key appeal lies in the substantial 7,498 sqft lot, which ranks well above average for both the immediate street and the wider area, offering significant potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying a larger private yard. Built in 1976, the 868 sqft interior is more compact than many area homes, suggesting a layout focused on practicality over square footage.
The property’s assessed value is notably strong for its street, ranking in the top 17%. This indicates it is viewed favorably relative to its closest comparables, which could be due to its condition, the premium lot size, or a combination of factors. The home last sold between $300k–$350k in 2021.
This property would best suit a buyer who prioritizes land over living space—someone looking for a manageable, efficient home with room to grow outdoors. It’s a practical choice for first-time homeowners comfortable with a mid-70s build, or for downsizers seeking a smaller interior to maintain without sacrificing yard size. The strong lot ranking also makes it a quiet candidate for future value growth through renovations or additions, appealing to the strategic, long-term investor or owner.
