Property Summary: 785 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 785 Polson Avenue in the Robertson neighborhood presents a solid, value-oriented opportunity. Built in 1956, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the immediate area. Its key strength is the generous 5,071 sqft lot, which is larger than most comparable properties on Polson Avenue and in Robertson, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.
With 1,008 sqft of living area, the interior size is typical for the street and neighborhood but sits below the Winnipeg city average. The assessed value of $319k is well above local averages for both the street and Robertson, indicating that the property is viewed favorably relative to its immediate peers, though it aligns more closely with the citywide midpoint.
This property would suit a practical buyer looking for a home with a sizable yard in an established neighborhood. It appeals to those who value space over sheer interior square footage and appreciate a home that is relatively modern within its context. The above-average assessment for the area suggests it may have been updated or maintained well, offering a move-in-ready option without the premium of a brand-new build.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($319k) is for municipal tax purposes and is not a direct market appraisal. However, it being significantly above the local street and neighborhood averages suggests the property has features or a condition that official valuation recognizes, which can be a positive signal.
2. How does the lot size compare to nearby homes?
The lot is a standout feature. At over 5,000 sqft, it ranks in the top 9% on Polson Avenue and the top 22% in the Robertson neighborhood, meaning you're getting more land than most comparable properties nearby.
3. The home sold in 2016. Why is the exact sold price not shown?
Due to industry data rules, exact historical sale prices from the MLS are not published on this site. The provided range ($200k-$250k) is based on publicly available data. You can request the exact figures via email for a manual lookup.
4. The living area is below the city average. Should I be concerned?
This depends on your needs. The home's layout and usability matter more than the square footage alone. For its street and neighborhood, the size is typical. The trade-off is the larger lot, which provides expansion potential or generous outdoor space not found in many city properties.
5. What does it mean that the home was built in 1956, but the "average year built" on the street is 1934?
It means this home is significantly newer than many of its neighbors on Polson Avenue. This often suggests potentially fewer concerns with very old infrastructure (like original plumbing or wiring) that can be found in homes built two decades earlier, though individual condition always varies.
