Property Overview: 284 Emerson Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1958-built home in River East presents a practical opportunity. At 975 sqft, its living space is notably smaller than most homes on its street and in the wider area, indicating a compact, manageable layout. The assessed value of $323k is below the local averages, suggesting a potentially accessible price point for the neighborhood.

The primary appeal lies in its balance. While the house itself is modest, the lot size of just over 6,100 sqft is above the Winnipeg average, offering valuable outdoor space that is less common in newer developments. This creates a distinct contrast: a smaller home to maintain, paired with a generous yard for gardening, play, or future expansion. Its last known sale was between $250k-$300k in early 2019.

This property would suit first-time buyers seeking an entry into a stable neighborhood without a massive footprint, or downsizers looking to reduce interior maintenance while retaining private outdoor space. It’s a home for those who value land over square footage and see potential in a solid, older structure.
