Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1985-built home in River Park South presents a practical and competitively positioned entry point into the Winnipeg market. With 867 sqft of living space, it is notably compact compared to area averages, suggesting a efficient, low-maintenance layout. Its primary appeal lies in its value proposition: the assessed value of $389k is above average for Paddington Road itself and aligns closely with the citywide average, indicating a fair valuation within its immediate streetscape. The lot size is also generous for the street.

The property would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a straightforward home in an established neighborhood without a premium for excess space. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller size and older—yet not outdated—build year could mean lower utility costs and a simpler renovation canvas compared to larger, newer homes. Its appeal is grounded in fundamentals rather than luxury, offering a chance to build equity in a stable community.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the living area too small?
At 867 sqft, the home is significantly smaller than the neighborhood (1,410 sqft) and city averages. It is best suited for individuals, couples, or small families who prioritize efficient living and lower maintenance over spaciousness.

2. How does the assessed value compare?
The $389k assessment is strong for its specific street, ranking in the top 30%. It is near the citywide average, suggesting the valuation is reasonable and not inflated relative to the broader market.

3. What does the year built (1985) indicate?
Built in 1985, the home is newer than the average Winnipeg house. On its street, it ranks in the top 15% by build year, meaning it’s among the newer homes in the immediate area, which may imply more modern construction standards than older counterparts.

4. Are the sold price estimates reliable?
The displayed sold price range (CA$350k–400k) is based on public data, not the MLS. For fully verified and exact historical sale figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email.

5. How does the lot size compare?
The 4,348 sqft lot is above average for Paddington Road but below the neighborhood average. This means you get a relatively generous yard for the street itself, though not as large as some lots in wider River Park South.
