Property Overview: 172 Oxford Street, North River Heights, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling blend of space, location, and value within Winnipeg’s established North River Heights neighbourhood. Its most standout feature is the generous 7,212 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 4% of the area, offering significant outdoor space and potential that is rare for the community. Built in 1946, the 1,658 sqft house provides above-average living space citywide and sits on a quiet, tree-lined street.
The appeal lies in its strong positional value. The assessed value of $530k is consistently above average for the street, neighbourhood, and city, indicating a premium perception for this specific property. It suits buyers looking for a character home with a large yard for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. It’s ideal for those who value established communities over new subdivisions and understand the balance of maintaining an older home to enjoy its mature setting and lot size. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself is of average size for the area, its true premium is in the land, making it a long-term asset for a growing family or someone with a vision for the property itself.
