Property Overview: 1079 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling mix of space, value, and potential. Its most standout feature is the exceptionally large lot—over 9,400 sqft—which ranks in the top 1% for both the street and the wider Robertson neighborhood. This offers rare potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying generous outdoor space in the city. The house itself, built in 1955, is newer than many in the immediate area, suggesting potentially fewer concerns with aging core components. With 1,020 sqft of living area, it is comfortably sized for the locale, though slightly below the Winnipeg city average.
The appeal lies in its strong value proposition within its community. The assessed value of $328k is notably above average for Polson Avenue and Robertson, indicating that the property is considered a premium offering in its direct context, likely buoyed by its elite lot size. For the city overall, however, its value is around average, meaning you get more land for your dollar here than in many other Winnipeg districts. It suits buyers prioritizing land over sheer interior square footage—think first-time homeowners, small families, or downsizers seeking a manageable home with room to breathe, garden, or entertain outdoors. It’s a property for those who see the lot as a primary asset.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties?
The land area of 9,411 sqft is exceptional for the area, placing it in the top 1% of lots on Polson Avenue and in the Robertson neighborhood. It is significantly larger than the local averages (approx. 3,900 sqft on the street, 4,457 sqft in the area).
2. Is the assessed value high for this street?
Yes. With an assessed value of $328,000, this property ranks in the top 8% on Polson Avenue, where the average is about $241,200. This premium assessment likely reflects the substantial lot size and the home being newer than many neighbors.
3. When was it last sold, and for how much?

4. How does the living space compare?
At 1,020 sqft, the living area is close to the neighborhood average (977 sqft) and slightly above the street average (1,066 sqft). City-wide, it is below the average of 1,342 sqft, which is typical for many established inner-city neighborhoods.
5. What does the "year built" ranking mean?
Built in 1955, this home is newer than most comparable properties on its street (average year built 1934) and in Robertson (average 1949). This suggests it may have undergone fewer generations of wear and updates than many surrounding homes.
