Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal

This home at 170 Queenston Street in North River Heights is a character property with a practical footprint. Built in 1928, it offers 1,118 sq ft of living space on a 4,319 sq ft lot. The data presents a nuanced picture: its living space is notably more compact than most homes on its street and in North River Heights, but it aligns more closely with the average Winnipeg home. Its assessed value of $408K sits below the street average but is typical for the broader area and city, suggesting it may offer relative value within a desirable neighbourhood.

The appeal lies in its position as a potentially more accessible entry point into a well-established community. It suits buyers seeking character in a prime location without the larger footprint and corresponding upkeep of many neighbouring homes. It could be an ideal match for a first-time buyer, a downsizer looking to stay in the area, or an investor attracted by the stable value proposition. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller size and lot, while not top-tier in the immediate vicinity, represent a lower-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing location—a trade-off that holds genuine value for the right owner.
