Property Overview: 438 Barker Boulevard, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,360 sqft bungalow, built in 1974 on a 6,002 sqft lot in River West Park, presents a solid, middle-of-the-road offering in the Winnipeg market. Its primary appeal lies in its balance and stability. The home’s assessed value of $394k sits comfortably around the city-wide average, suggesting a fair market entry point without the premium often attached to larger lots or newer builds in the immediate neighborhood.

The data reveals a thoughtful perspective: this property isn't competing for top rankings in any single category, but it avoids the extremes. Its living space is practical and comparable to many homes on its street, making it a known quantity in the area. It would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable, established home in a mature neighborhood without unexpected surprises. The buyer likely values predictability and a lower risk of overpaying relative to the broader city market over having the newest or largest home on the block. Its last known sale was between 2016-2020 in the $250k-$300k range, indicating a history of steady appreciation.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's value compare to its neighbors?
The home’s assessed value is below the average for the River West Park neighborhood but aligns closely with the Winnipeg city-wide average. This suggests you may get more house for your money here compared to pricier parts of the same area, though the lot size is smaller than many nearby properties.

2. Is the living space typical for the area?
At 1,360 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for Barker Boulevard itself. It is somewhat smaller than the broader neighborhood average, but larger than the typical Winnipeg home, indicating a comfortable, mid-size layout for the location.

3. What does the lot size mean for maintenance and potential?
The lot is approximately 6,000 sqft, which is below average for both the street and neighborhood. This translates to less yard maintenance—a plus for some—but may offer less privacy or space for expansions like a large deck or addition compared to neighbors.

4. How can I find out the exact past sale price?
