Property Overview: 668 Oakland Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 668 Oakland Avenue in Rossmere-A is a quintessential example of a well-established, mid-century Winnipeg property. Built in 1958, it offers a manageable 1,042 sqft of living space on a roughly 5,280 sqft lot, placing it squarely in the average range for its immediate street, neighborhood, and the wider city in terms of size, lot, and assessed value (approximately $318k). Its appeal lies in its predictability and stability within a mature community. This isn't a standout outlier in any metric, which can be an advantage for buyers seeking a straightforward, fairly priced home without unexpected premiums for extreme size or modern updates.

The property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for an entry point into a settled neighborhood without the variables of a new development. It also appeals to the value-conscious buyer who prioritizes a solid foundation and location over high-end finishes, seeing the potential to add value over time. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" rankings across the board suggest a lower risk of being over-improved for the area, offering a blanker canvas for personalization compared to a recently renovated home at a premium price.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's value compare to recent sales on the street?
Based on available data, the home last sold between $300k-$350k in April 2021. This sale price was in the top 42% for the street at that time, indicating it was a competitive transaction. Its current assessed value is very close to the street's average.

2. Is the home older or newer than most in Rossmere-A?
Built in 1958, this home is slightly older than the Rossmere-A neighborhood average (1964), placing it in the top 78% (meaning 78% of area homes are newer). On its own street, however, its build year is exactly at the average.

3. What is the lot size like for the area?
At 5,281 sqft, the lot is slightly below the neighborhood average but very close to the average for Oakland Avenue itself. It provides a typical outdoor space for the community, suitable for gardening, recreation, or future additions like a deck or shed.

4. Where can I get verified, exact historical sale prices?
The provided sold price is a range based on public data. For fully verified and exact sale figures, including a complete transaction history, you must request a manual lookup via email, as this site does not display MLS sales records.

5. Are the nearby comparable properties similar in age and style?
Yes. The listed nearby and reference properties are almost exclusively from the late 1950s to early 1960s, with very similar living areas and assessed values. This consistency confirms the character of the area as a stable, post-war housing district.
