Highlights & common questions: 178 Ashford Drive, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This home at 178 Ashford Drive in Winnipeg's River Park South neighborhood presents a solid, no-surprises offering. Built in 1983, its key appeal lies in being a well-established, average-sized home in a mature community. The data suggests it's a property that doesn't stand out for size or lot, but offers consistency and a potentially advantageous position within its immediate area.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

The 1,225 sqft home sits on a 4,200 sqft lot, which is notably smaller than averages for the street, neighborhood, and city. Its assessed value of $388k is very close to the citywide average, indicating a fair market positioning. A significant point in its favor is that it is the newest build on its street (ranked #1 of 79), suggesting it may have fewer age-related issues than direct neighbors. Its living area is consistently "around average" at every comparison level, reinforcing its identity as a standard, middle-of-the-road family home.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, low-maintenance footprint in a settled area. It also appeals to the value-conscious buyer who prioritizes a home that is newer than others on the block over having a larger yard. The appeal is grounded in predictability and a sense of being on equal footing with the surrounding community, rather than in standout luxury or size.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $388k is remarkably close to the citywide average for comparable homes ($390.1k), suggesting it's a reliable benchmark. However, its last known sale was between $300k-$350k in 2017, so market conditions since then will be the primary driver.

2. How much of a concern is the smaller lot size?
At 4,200 sqft, the lot is below average for the area. This means less private outdoor space but could also translate to lower yard maintenance—a potential positive for some buyers. It's a practical trade-off to consider.

3. What does it mean that this is the "newest" home on the street?
Being built in 1983 and ranked #1 out of 79 on its street for year built is a relative advantage. It implies that major components like the roof or foundation might, on average, be in slightly better condition than those of immediate neighbors, potentially deferring some repair costs.

4. How does this home compare to others in River Park South?
The home is very typical for the neighborhood in terms of living space. Its assessed value is actually below the neighborhood average ($447.2k), which could indicate it offers good value within River Park South specifically, or that it is a more modest offering.

5. Where can I find verified historical sale prices?
The provided data shows a sold price range from 2017. For fully verified and exact transaction history, you must request a manual lookup from the site, as they do not have access to MLS sales records.
