Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 31 Barker Boulevard presents a solid, grounded opportunity in Winnipeg's River West Park neighborhood. Built in 1973, it is one of the older homes on its street, which may appeal to buyers interested in a well-established area with mature landscaping. The 1,286 sqft living space is modest compared to the immediate neighborhood average but aligns closely with the typical Winnipeg home, suggesting a comfortable, manageable layout without excessive upkeep.

The property’s standout feature is its generous 7,916 sqft lot, which ranks well above the city average. This offers significant outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion—a valuable asset in an urban setting. With an assessed value of $455,000, it sits above the Winnipeg average, indicating a perceived quality or desirability, yet it remains around the average for its specific street and neighborhood. This positioning could represent a stable entry into a desirable area without the premium of a newer or larger home on the same block. It recently sold for an estimated $500k–$550k, a price point that performed strongly city-wide.

This home would suit practical buyers who prioritize lot size over square footage, such as young families seeking backyard space, or downsizers looking for a manageable home in a mature community without a cramped yard. It’s a property for someone who sees value in established neighborhoods and has the vision to update an older home to their taste.


Frequently Asked Questions

How does the home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,286 sqft, the living area is below the average for the River West Park neighborhood but is very close to the average for the entire city of Winnipeg. It offers a comfortable, average-sized footprint for the market.

Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. The lot of nearly 8,000 sqft is notably larger than the Winnipeg average, ranking in the top 12% city-wide. This is one of the property's key assets, providing ample outdoor space.

The home was built in 1973. Is it older than its neighbors?
Yes, it is among the older homes on Barker Boulevard and in River West Park. This suggests a mature streetscape but also means prospective buyers should budget for updates and maintenance consistent with a home of this age.

What does the assessed value tell us about the property?
The $455,000 assessment is above the Winnipeg average, which often reflects factors like lot size and location. It is, however, very close to the average for its own street, indicating it is priced in line with its immediate peers rather than carrying an outlier premium.

How can I verify the exact sold price?
The displayed sold price is an estimate. Due to industry regulations, exact sale figures from the MLS are not published on this site. You can request the precise sold price history by emailing the site directly for a manual lookup.
