Property Overview: 489 Linden Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This Rossmere-B bungalow, built in 1955, presents a solid, no-surprises entry into Winnipeg's residential market. With 936 sqft of living space on a just-under-5,000 sqft lot, its metrics are consistently "around average" for its immediate street and neighborhood. This is its core appeal: it’s a representative home in an established area, not an outlier. The assessed value of $323k aligns closely with neighborhood averages, suggesting a fair and stable valuation.
The home’s appeal lies in its predictability and positioning. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable footprint without the premium of a newer or significantly larger property. It’s a practical choice for someone who values neighborhood character over a brand-new build. A thoughtful perspective is that its very "averageness" within Rossmere-B could be a strength, offering insulation from the volatility that can affect more unique or high-end properties. The lot size, while modest city-wide, is slightly above average for the street, offering a bit more outdoor space than some direct neighbors.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others in Winnipeg?
At 936 sqft, the living area is below the Winnipeg city-wide average for comparable homes. However, it is much more aligned with the typical Rossmere-B neighborhood size, where it ranks in the top 70%.
2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value is a municipal benchmark for taxation, not a market price. Notably, a nearby, very similar home at 475 Leighton Avenue (also built in 1955) has a higher assessed value ($339k), while recent sales data suggests this property sold within the $350k-$400k range in July 2024. This indicates market value can differ.
3. What does the "around average" ranking for Year Built mean?
Built in 1955, the home is newer than many on its street but typical for the wider Rossmere-B area. Buyers should anticipate the maintenance and potential update needs common to homes of this vintage, while also benefiting from the established infrastructure and mature landscaping of the neighborhood.
4. How can I find out the exact price it sold for in 2024?
The public data shown is an estimated range. Due to industry rules, exact MLS sold prices are not displayed on this site. You can request the exact sold price history via email from the provider for a manually verified figure.
5. Who might this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a move-in-ready modern home, those needing significant space (as it’s below the city average for living area), or investors looking for a property with highly unique features that could drive exceptional appreciation. It is a grounded choice for pragmatic buyers.
