Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 505 Waterloo Street in North River Heights presents a solid, mid-century property built in 1948. With 1,270 square feet of living space, it offers a manageable size that is slightly below average for its immediate street but aligns more closely with the typical Winnipeg home. Its assessed value of $485,000 sits above the city-wide average, suggesting a perception of quality and a desirable location, even though it is modest relative to some neighboring homes on Waterloo Street.

The appeal lies in its established neighborhood setting and its position as a home that offers city-wide value. For a buyer, it represents an entry into a well-regarded area without the premium price tag of the largest lots or newest homes on the block. The lot size of 4,821 sqft is smaller than many on its street, which could mean less maintenance—a potential upside for some. This property would likely suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer seeking character in a mature neighborhood, who prioritizes location over sheer size and is comfortable with a home of this vintage. It’s a practical choice for someone looking for a balanced investment in a stable area.
