Property Overview: 242 Barker Boulevard, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 242 Barker Boulevard in River West Park presents a compelling case based on its above-average size and value. The standout feature is its 2,148 sqft of living area, which places it in the top 9% of homes on its street and the top 8% city-wide. This suggests a spacious interior that is larger than most comparable properties in Winnipeg. With an assessed value of $543k, it sits above average for its street, neighborhood, and the city, indicating a perception of solid value by municipal assessors.
The appeal lies in this combination of generous interior space within a well-established neighborhood of similar-aged homes (built in 1976). It suits buyers who prioritize more square footage over a larger yard, as the 6,334 sqft lot is slightly below the neighborhood average but still above the city norm. This profile fits growing families seeking room to spread out, or professionals wanting dedicated home office space, within a mature community. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself ranks highly for size, its lot size is more typical, suggesting the value is firmly in the built structure—a good match for buyers less focused on extensive outdoor maintenance or landscaping projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to what it last sold for?
It was sold in March 2018 for a price between $400,000 and $450,000. The current assessed value of $543k is higher, which may reflect market changes, renovations, or the assessed value process itself.
2. Is the living space unusually large for the area?
Yes. The home’s living area is notably above average for Barker Boulevard, the wider River West Park neighborhood, and the city of Winnipeg as a whole, placing it in the top tier for interior space.
3. What does the "around average" ranking for the land area mean?
While the lot size is above the Winnipeg average, it is smaller than the typical lot on Barker Boulevard and in River West Park. This means you get a spacious home on a moderately-sized, manageable lot for the area.
4. How can I find out the exact historical sale price?
The site provides sold price ranges for non-members. To receive the exact sale figure, you must request a manual lookup via email from the service, as they do not have access to or display MLS sales records.
5. Are the nearby comparison homes similar?
The listed nearby properties vary. Some on the same street have similar assessed values but less living area, while others are smaller and less valuable. This highlights that 242 Barker Boulevard offers a different proposition, primarily centered on its greater interior square footage.
