Property Overview: 258 Barker Boulevard, River West Park, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1976 home on Barker Boulevard presents a solid, middle-of-the-road offering in Winnipeg's River West Park neighborhood. With 1,472 sqft of living space, it sits close to the average for its street and city, suggesting a practical, no-surprises floor plan suitable for a small family, couple, or first-time buyer. Its primary appeal lies in its balance and stability. The assessed value of $434k is comfortably below the neighborhood average, potentially offering relative value within the area, while the lot size, though smaller than others on the street, is above the citywide average, providing decent outdoor space.

A thoughtful perspective is its "newness" within its immediate context. Built in 1976, it ranks in the top 8% on its street for year built, meaning it is among the more recently constructed homes on the block, which can be advantageous for systems and maintenance. The home suits a buyer looking for a move-in ready, established property in a mature neighborhood without extreme highs or lows in its metrics—a pragmatic choice over a fixer-upper or a premium new build. Its recent sale in late 2023 for an estimated $450k-$500k indicates strong, current market activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,472 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for Barker Boulevard itself (~1,486 sqft) and is slightly above the average for the entire city. It is, however, somewhat smaller than the typical home in the broader River West Park neighborhood.

2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value is $434k. A nearby, very similar home at 46 Sinnott Street has the same assessed value, providing a local benchmark. This property last sold for an estimated $450k-$500k in September 2023, which can be a more direct indicator of current market value.

3. What are the implications of the lot size being "below average" for the neighborhood?
The lot is 6,336 sqft, which is smaller than many in River West Park. This likely means less backyard space than some neighbors but also potentially less maintenance. It is still a larger-than-average lot compared to the city of Winnipeg as a whole.

4. The home was built in 1976. What should I consider?
Being built in 1976 places it among the newer homes on its street. Buyers should still ensure a standard inspection focuses on the roof, windows, and major mechanical systems (furnace, electrical) which may be nearing or past their typical lifespan and could require updates.

5. How can I find out the exact price it last sold for?
The public data shows a sold price range. To obtain the exact sale figure, you must request it directly via email from the site provider, as per real estate industry rules that prevent the public display of certain transaction records.
