Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1917 home in Winnipeg’s Rockwood area, with roughly 1,101 square feet of living space and a 3,435-square-foot lot. Its assessed value sits at $211,000—well below the neighbourhood average of $340,600 and citywide median of $390,100. The rankings are telling: while the living area is about average for the street, the assessed value falls in the bottom 4% on Garwood Avenue and the bottom 3% in Rockwood.

The appeal here is straightforward: this is a lower-entry-price property in a neighbourhood where values are generally higher. It suits buyers who are comfortable with an older home and willing to invest sweat equity or prioritize location over condition. It’s less suited for someone seeking a move-in-ready property at market value, or a buyer focused on resale upside without renovation. The land size is typical for the area, so the value gap is likely tied to the home’s age and condition rather than the lot.


Five Possible FAQs

1. Why is the assessed value so low compared to neighbourhood averages?
The home is over a century old, and its assessed value reflects factors like deferred maintenance, smaller square footage, or outdated systems. The neighbourhood median is higher because many nearby homes are newer or have been updated more extensively.

2. Does the lower value mean the property is overpriced or a bargain?
Not automatically. A $211,000 assessment is a starting point for taxes and comparisons, not a fixed market price. If the home needs significant work, the price may be fair for a fixer-upper. If it’s in solid shape, it could represent an entry point below typical Rockwood prices. A home inspection and recent comps are needed to judge.

3. How does the 1917 build date affect insurance and maintenance?
Older homes often have systems (plumbing, wiring, foundation) that don’t meet modern codes or standards. Buyers should expect higher insurance premiums, potential knob-and-tube wiring, and a greater likelihood of needing updates to the roof, windows, or insulation. Budget accordingly.

4. Is the living area typical for a home of this era in Rockwood?
Yes. At 1,101 square feet, it’s close to the street average of 1,049 sq ft and the area average of 1,076 sq ft. It’s slightly below the citywide average of 1,342 sq ft, but that’s consistent with older homes in established neighbourhoods.

5. Could the property’s lot size limit future expansion or additions?
At 3,435 square feet, the lot is average for the street but below average for the area and city. Zoning rules aside, the physical space for an addition would be tight, and any expansion would likely require variances. Potential buyers should check local setback requirements before planning major renovations.
