Property Overview: 78 Barker Boulevard, River West Park, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home stands out primarily for its generous scale. At 2,331 sqft, its living area is significantly larger than most, ranking in the top 4% on its street and top 5% city-wide. It sits on an 8,142 sqft lot, which is also well above the Winnipeg average, offering substantial outdoor space. The assessed value of $498k is above average for both the street and the city, reflecting its size and position in the market. Built in 1974, the home is of a typical vintage for the established River West Park neighborhood.
The appeal lies in the combination of ample interior space and a large lot—a pairing that is increasingly sought-after but not always easy to find. It suits buyers looking for room to grow, who value privacy and outdoor potential, and who appreciate an established community over a brand-new development. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is a standout in size on its street, its value is more aligned with the neighborhood average, which could represent a relative value proposition for the square footage offered. It’s a property for those prioritizing space and land within a mature area, ready for personal updates or expansions to match its solid foundation.
