Property Overview: 816 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 816 Polson Avenue in the Robertson neighborhood presents a solid, mid-century property with clear practical advantages. Built in 1955, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the wider area, which can suggest updated infrastructure and potentially fewer major maintenance concerns compared to older counterparts.
The appeal lies in its balanced metrics and above-average positioning within its immediate context. With 1,064 sqft of living space, it is very close to the street and neighborhood averages, offering a comfortable size for a small family or couple. A significant highlight is the 4,702 sqft lot, which is larger than most on Polson Avenue, providing valuable outdoor space. The assessed value of $292k is above the street average, reflecting its relative standing, yet remains well below the Winnipeg city average, indicating a more accessible price point within the city.
This property would suit first-time buyers or practical investors seeking a home in a established neighborhood without the premium of a newer suburb. It’s also a sensible choice for those who value a larger yard and a home that is newer than its immediate neighbors, offering a relative sense of modernity in a mature area.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales?
Data indicates a sale occurred in February 2021 within the $250k-$300k range. This sale price ranked in the top 32% for the street and top 40% for the neighborhood at that time, suggesting it has historically been a competitively valued property.
2. Is the living space considered small for Winnipeg?
While the living area is below the citywide average, it is squarely average for Polson Avenue and actually above average for the Robertson neighborhood. This is typical of many established inner-city communities and is a trade-off for location and lot size.
3. What does the “Above Average” year built ranking mean practically?
Being built in 1955 ranks it in the top 18% on its street, where the average home was built in 1934. This 20-year difference can be meaningful, potentially indicating the presence of modern materials, wiring, or plumbing systems that are less common in much older homes.
4. The citywide assessed value is “Below Average.” Is that a concern?
This is primarily a reflection of Winnipeg’s varied market, where newer suburban homes and larger properties pull the citywide average up. An assessed value below the city average but above the street average is common for well-maintained homes in mature neighborhoods and often corresponds with greater affordability.
5. How can I verify the exact historical sold price?
The provided sold price is an estimated range from public records. For fully verified and exact sale figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email, as MLS data is not displayed publicly here.
