Highlights & common questions: 278 Lake Village Road, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This home at 278 Lake Village Road presents a practical and efficient living option in Winnipeg's Waverley Heights area. Its key appeal lies in offering solid value within a well-established neighborhood, particularly for those seeking a manageable property without the upkeep of a larger lot or home.

Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer

The 920 sqft bungalow, built in 1977, sits on a 3,009 sqft lot. Its most defining characteristic is its efficient scale. While the living space is slightly below the neighborhood average, it ranks very well on its own street, suggesting it fits comfortably within its immediate context. The assessed value of $307K is notably below the Waverley Heights average, indicating a potentially more accessible entry point into this area.

The property’s appeal is grounded in practicality. It suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a lower-maintenance home in a mature neighborhood. The lot size, while smaller than many in the wider area, translates to less yard work and a focused outdoor space. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "right-sized" option: it avoids paying a premium for excess square footage or land you may not need, while still providing the stability and location of an established community.

Frequently Asked Questions
