Property Overview: 252 Barker Boulevard, River West Park, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a solid, mid-century option in the established River West Park neighborhood. Built in 1976, it is newer than many homes on its street and across Winnipeg, suggesting potentially fewer age-related concerns. With 1,360 sqft of living space and a 6,343 sqft lot, its size is consistently "around average" when compared to immediate neighbors, the wider neighborhood, and the city. This indicates it fits comfortably within the local context—neither the largest nor the smallest property on the block.
Its primary appeal lies in its balance and stability. The assessed value of $436k aligns very closely with the street average, and its recent sale price (estimated between $450k-$500k in late 2023) placed it in the top tiers for the area and city. This suggests it is a competitively priced home in a desirable location. The lot size, while slightly below the neighborhood average, is above average city-wide, offering decent outdoor space.
This property would suit pragmatic buyers looking for a move-in-ready home in a mature neighborhood without extreme peaks or valleys in its metrics. It’s ideal for someone who values being "typical" for the area—a known quantity that holds its value—rather than a standout fixer-upper or a luxury estate. It may also appeal to those who appreciate a home that is slightly newer than its surrounding peers, potentially offering more modern infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to its neighbors?
The home’s assessed value of $436k is almost exactly the average for Barker Boulevard ($438.5k) and is moderately below the broader River West Park neighborhood average. This suggests it is fairly valued within its immediate streetscape.
2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
While the lot is below the neighborhood average, it is still above the Winnipeg average. It provides a decent yard but may not offer as much privacy or space as some larger lots in River West Park.
3. What does the "newer" year built actually mean for me?
Built in 1976, this home is newer than about 92% of comparable homes on its street. In practical terms, this could mean updates to major systems (like electrical or plumbing) may have already occurred, or that significant replacements might be on a slightly later timeline than older neighbors.
4. The sold price seems higher than the assessed value. Why?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. The sold price (CA$450k–500k in late 2023) reflects the actual market value at the time of sale, which was competitive, placing in the top 35% for the neighborhood. This indicates strong buyer demand for well-positioned homes in the area.
5. Where can I get the exact historical sold price?
