Property Overview

Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,115-square-foot home, built in 1960, sits on a 3,101-square-foot lot. The living area is above average for both its street (Atlantic Avenue) and the broader Robertson area, though it falls below the citywide median. The land, by contrast, is notably smaller than typical for the neighbourhood and the city—something to keep in mind if outdoor space is a priority.

The property’s real strength is its assessed value, which ranks in the top 10% on the street and top 16% in Robertson, suggesting strong relative worth in this pocket. Being a 1960 build puts it among the older homes in the area, which could appeal to buyers looking for established construction or a quieter, more mature streetscape rather than new-development density.

This property suits buyers who value interior square footage and solid value within a specific neighbourhood context, and who are willing to trade off a larger yard. It would work well for someone downsizing, a first-time buyer focused on long-term hold, or an investor attracted to the above-average assessed value relative to peers.

Possible FAQs

1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
It’s above average for both Atlantic Avenue and the Robertson area. On the street, it ranks in the top 27% of 551 homes; in the broader area, it’s in the top 20% of 1,730 properties. Citywide, it sits below the median—so the value here is location-specific.

2. Why is the land area considered below average?
At 3,101 square feet, the lot is smaller than most on the street (bottom 29%) and significantly smaller than the Robertson average. This is common for older infill or more compact street layouts, and may limit expansion or large-scale landscaping.

3. What does the “Elite” year-built label mean for maintenance?
Homes from 1960 are older than most in the area (top 5% on the street). While this can mean solid framing and mature trees, it also suggests systems like electrical, plumbing, or roofing may need updating. A home inspection is recommended to assess current condition.

4. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of market price?
Assessed value is a useful benchmark, but it’s not the same as market value. This property ranks high for its street and area, which may signal strong local demand or positive tax base positioning. However, sale prices depend on condition, upgrades, and current market conditions.

5. How would this property compare to newer builds in Robertson?
Newer homes in the area tend to have larger lots (citywide median is 1,342 sqft more living space) and higher assessed values overall. However, this home offers above-average living space for its immediate street and likely a lower entry price than new construction. It’s a trade-off between modern finishes and established neighbourhood value.
