290 Blake Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 993-square-foot home built in 1911 on a 2,626-square-foot lot, located in Winnipeg's Weston neighbourhood. The property’s assessed value is $147,000.

Its main appeal is affordability relative to both the neighbourhood and citywide averages. The assessed value ranks well below typical homes on Blake Street, in Weston, and across Winnipeg—making it one of the more budget-friendly options in the area. The living space is slightly above average for the street and neighbourhood, though below the citywide norm of 1,342 square feet. The lot size is fairly typical for the immediate area but small compared to Winnipeg as a whole.

This property would suit a buyer who values lower entry cost over modern finishes or square footage. It may appeal to someone willing to take on a renovation project in an older home (1911), or an investor looking for a lower-priced asset in a more established part of the city. It is less suited to buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with a large yard or contemporary layout.


FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to other homes nearby?
At $147,000, it is well below the street average ($197,100) and the neighbourhood average ($184,700). It ranks in the bottom 11% on Blake Street and bottom 27% in Weston.

2. Is the living space considered small or large for this area?
It’s around average for the street (ranked 3rd out of 9) and slightly above average for the neighbourhood (top 36%). However, it is significantly smaller than the typical Winnipeg home in this category.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1911?
It is older than most homes on the street and in the neighbourhood. Buyers should expect original construction methods, potential for outdated systems, and possible maintenance history that differs from newer builds. A thorough inspection is strongly recommended.

4. How does the lot size compare to other properties in Winnipeg?
The 2,626-square-foot lot is typical for Weston, but it places in the bottom 7% citywide. This means limited outdoor space relative to most Winnipeg homes, which average over 6,500 square feet.

5. What type of buyer typically goes for a property like this?
Those looking for a lower-cost entry into the Weston area, first-time buyers open to updates, or investors seeking a property with a relatively low baseline price. It’s less common for families wanting a large yard or a home that requires minimal immediate work.
