Property Overview: 159 Ashford Drive, River Park South, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 159 Ashford Drive presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's River Park South neighborhood. Built in 1983, it is notably one of the newer homes on its street, which can be an advantage for systems and maintenance. With 1,000 sqft of living space, the home is compact, ranking below average in size for the area, which suggests efficiency and easier upkeep.
Its primary appeal lies in its value positioning. The assessed value of approximately $391k is very close to the citywide average, indicating a reasonably priced entry point into the market. The lot size is smaller than most in the area, which translates to less yard maintenance—a potential benefit for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle or who prefer to spend their time indoors.
This property would best suit first-time homebuyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a straightforward, no-frills home in a stable neighborhood. Its size and lot characteristics make it a candidate for those with a limited budget who prioritize getting into the housing market over spaciousness, or for someone who views the smaller yard as a feature rather than a drawback.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the home's smaller size a significant disadvantage?
Not necessarily. While the living area is below the neighborhood average, it offers manageable space for individuals, couples, or small families. This can mean lower utility costs and less time spent on cleaning and maintenance.
2. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The home last sold between $250k-$300k in July 2019. Its current assessed value is higher, which reflects broader market appreciation. For exact historical sale figures, you can request a manual lookup via email from the site.
3. What does the "elite" ranking for year built mean?
On Ashford Drive, this home, built in 1983, is ranked #1 out of 79 comparable properties for being newer. This suggests it may be among the most recently built homes on the street, potentially implying newer components like roofing, windows, or major systems compared to immediate neighbors.
4. Should I be concerned about the below-average lot size?
This depends on your lifestyle. The smaller lot (3,592 sqft) means less space for gardening, play, or expansion, but also significantly reduces yard work. It’s a trade-off that many urban buyers find acceptable.
5. How does this property fit within the broader River Park South area?
The home is very typical for assessed value in the neighborhood but sits below averages for both living area and land size. This positions it as a more affordable option within the community, likely offering a lower absolute price than larger homes on bigger lots in the same area.
