Highlights & common questions: 1050 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview: 1050 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 1050 Polson Avenue in the Robertson neighborhood presents a practical and competitively positioned offering. Built in 1955, it is a newer construction compared to many homes on its street and in the immediate area, which may suggest updated infrastructure or fewer concerns associated with older properties. With 1,003 square feet of living space and a 4,192 square foot lot, its size is very typical for the local context, offering comfortable space without excessive maintenance.

The primary appeal lies in its strong value proposition within its micro-market. The assessed value of $291,000 is notably above the street average, indicating it is viewed as a higher-quality asset on Polson Avenue. However, this value sits below the Winnipeg citywide average, positioning it as an affordable entry point into the city’s housing market. It suits first-time homebuyers or practical investors seeking a straightforward property in an established neighborhood. A thoughtful perspective is that its "above-average" status on its own street could provide a relative sense of stability and pride of place, while its "below-average" citywide price offers a financial cushion compared to broader market premiums.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others?
At 1,003 sqft, the living area is very close to the Robertson neighborhood average (977 sqft) and slightly below the average for Polson Avenue itself (1,066 sqft). It is, however, meaningfully smaller than the typical Winnipeg home (1,342 sqft).

2. What does the assessed value tell me?
The $291,000 assessment is above the street average but below the city average. This often signals a well-regarded property in its immediate locale that remains affordably priced in the wider Winnipeg market.

3. When was it last sold, and for how much?
Public records indicate a sale between June 2016, with a price in the range of $250,000 to $300,000. For verified, exact historical sale figures, a manual lookup can be requested.

4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is just over 4,000 sqft, which is slightly larger than the average lot on Polson Avenue. It provides adequate outdoor space for a garden or patio while keeping yard maintenance manageable.

5. How does the 1955 build year affect the home?
Built in 1955, this home is newer than many on its street (average build year 1934) and in Robertson (average 1949). This can be an advantage, potentially indicating updates to core systems like wiring or plumbing compared to much older neighbors.
