Property Overview: 1026 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 984 sqft home, built in 1955, presents a solid and above-average value within its immediate Robertson neighborhood and on Polson Avenue itself. Its assessed value of $318k ranks notably higher than local averages, suggesting it is a well-regarded property on its street. The lot size is generous for the area, offering more outdoor space than many nearby homes.

The appeal lies in its established community setting. It suits a first-time homebuyer or an investor looking for a character home in a mature neighborhood, who values a larger lot and local standing over a larger interior footprint. It’s a practical choice for someone who prioritizes being in a specific, well-ranked position within a local context rather than comparing against city-wide, newer subdivisions. A thoughtful perspective is that while the living area is below the Winnipeg average, its strong assessed value for the street indicates that factors like lot size, condition, or location on the block are likely compensating virtues appreciated in the local market.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 984 sqft, the living area is very close to the Robertson neighborhood average (977 sqft) and is a typical size for the area, though it is smaller than the average home across Winnipeg.

2. Why is the assessed value higher than many neighbors?
The assessed value of $318k ranks in the top 13% on Polson Avenue. This suggests the property is assessed more highly due to a combination of its larger lot, its more recent year of construction compared to street averages, and potentially its condition or specific improvements.

3. When was it last sold, and for how much?
Public records indicate it was sold in August 2016. To protect privacy and ensure accuracy, exact sold prices require a manual lookup. You can request the exact figure by email through the listing page.

4. What does the "year built" ranking mean?
Built in 1955, this home is newer than most on its street (where the average build year is 1934) and in the Robertson area. This can imply updated infrastructure or construction methods compared to many immediate neighbors.

5. Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. The land area of 4,284 sqft is above average for Polson Avenue, offering more outdoor space than many comparable properties in the direct vicinity, which is a key differentiator.
