Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 220 Emerson Avenue is a quintessential example of a well-established property in Winnipeg's River East neighborhood. Built in 1976, it offers 1,341 sqft of living space on a 6,102 sqft lot. The data presents a consistent picture: this is a solidly average property within its immediate street, neighborhood, and city context for its size, age, and assessed value (approximately $379k). Its appeal lies in this very predictability—it’s a known quantity without unexpected extremes.

A thoughtful perspective is its lot size, which ranks above average city-wide (top 29%). This suggests more outdoor space than many Winnipeg homes, offering room for gardening, play, or expansion, which is a valuable but less highlighted asset. The home last sold in late 2020 for an estimated $300k-$350k, providing a recent benchmark for market comparison.

This property would suit pragmatic buyers seeking a stable entry into a mature neighborhood. It’s ideal for those who value space over flash, appreciate a home that aligns with community norms, and are looking for a straightforward investment without the surprises or premium price of a standout "top-tier" listing.
