Property Overview: 294 Queenston Street, North River Heights, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 294 Queenston Street is a 1,297 sqft character property built in 1938, situated on a 4,307 sqft lot in the established North River Heights neighbourhood. Its assessed value of $448,000 positions it as an above-average offering citywide, suggesting a perceived quality or location premium compared to the Winnipeg average.

The appeal lies in its balance and established context. While the living space is modest compared to immediate neighbours, it is squarely average for the wider city, offering a manageable footprint. The lot is smaller than most in North River Heights, which translates to less yard maintenance—a potential benefit for some. As a home from the late 1930s, it carries the charm and construction quality of that era, but buyers should be prepared for the updates and maintenance that come with an 88-year-old structure. This property would suit a buyer looking for a character home in a desirable, mature neighbourhood without the largest lot or square footage on the block, possibly appealing to downsizers, small families, or those seeking a lower-maintenance exterior within a prime area.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the value compare to nearby homes?
The home’s assessed value is around the average for North River Heights and slightly below the average for Queenston Street itself. However, it is notably above the average assessed value for the entire city, indicating its location in a generally higher-value area.

2. Is the house unusually small for the neighbourhood?
Its living area is smaller than the average on its street and in North River Heights, but it is close to the city-wide average. It offers a more compact layout compared to many neighbouring homes.

3. What should I consider about the lot size?
The lot is below average for both the street and the neighbourhood, which means less private outdoor space but also potentially less yard work. It is closer to the average lot size when compared to the entire city.

4. The home was last sold in 2016. What does that price indicate?
Public data shows it sold for between $300,000 and $350,000 in August 2016. The increase to the current $448,000 assessment reflects market changes over eight years. For exact historical sale figures, a manual records lookup is required.

5. What is less obvious about this property’s data?
The home ranks in the top 29% of the city for assessed value but only in the top 42% for living area. This disconnect suggests factors beyond sheer size—like the neighbourhood’s desirability, the lot’s location, or the home’s condition—are significant drivers of its valuation.
