Property Overview: 14 Whicker Street, River Park South, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,817 sqft home, built in 1981, presents a solid, above-average offering in Winnipeg's River Park South neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its generous proportions, both indoors and out. The living space is consistently larger than most comparable homes on its street, in the neighborhood, and across the city. This is complemented by a notably spacious 6,700 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 10% on Whicker Street, offering ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion.

With an assessed value of $450,000, the property sits around the average for its immediate area but is above the Winnipeg citywide average, suggesting a well-established location. A less obvious perspective is that its 1981 build date, while older than many in River Park South, is actually newer than the typical Winnipeg home, potentially indicating a balance of mature landscaping with reasonably modern construction standards for its era.

This home would suit buyers looking for established community feel with more room than newer subdivisions often provide. It’s ideal for those who prioritize indoor and outdoor space over having the newest build, and for value-conscious buyers who see potential in a property that offers sizeable fundamentals in a stable market segment.
