Property Overview: 166 Montrose Street, North River Heights, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 166 Montrose Street is a classic North River Heights property built in 1948, presenting a practical opportunity in a well-regarded neighbourhood. With 1,269 sqft of living space, it is notably cozier than many homes on Montrose Street itself but sits close to the average size for Winnipeg as a whole. Its assessed value of $438,000 tells a compelling story: while it is valued below the average for its immediate street, it sits squarely in the middle for the North River Heights area and is actually above the average assessed value citywide. This suggests you are paying for the desirable location more than for a large footprint.
The appeal lies in securing a lot in a mature, established neighbourhood without the premium price tag of the area's larger, more updated homes. The lot size of 4,884 sqft is very typical for the area, offering standard backyard potential. This property would suit a first-time buyer or downsizer looking for entry into North River Heights, or an investor seeking a character home that may benefit from modernization. Its value proposition is location-centric, ideal for someone who prioritizes neighbourhood over square footage and sees potential in a solid, post-war home.
