Property Overview: 1196 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 1196 Polson Avenue in the Mynarski neighbourhood presents a practical and value-oriented opportunity. Built in 1957, it is notably newer than many houses on its street, potentially suggesting fewer concerns related to the age of core components compared to its peers. The 858 sqft living area is compact, placing it below average for the city, which indicates a efficient, low-maintenance footprint. The assessed value of $289,000 sits below both neighbourhood and city averages, highlighting its position as a more affordable entry point into the market.
The appeal lies in its value proposition and practicality. It suits first-time homebuyers seeking an affordable starter home, investors looking for a rental property with a relatively lower entry cost, or downsizers who prioritize a manageable space without a large yard (the 4,096 sqft lot is below average for the area). A thoughtful perspective is that its "below average" size and value metrics, relative to the wider city, could be a strength for the right buyer—offering lower property taxes, utility costs, and upkeep effort. Its sale history (last sold between $250k-$300k in early 2022) aligns with its current assessment, suggesting a stable, non-speculative market value.
