572 Alfred Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,183 sqft home built in 1909 on a 3,268 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $117,000.

The property’s main strength is its lot size, which ranks in the top 19% on Alfred Avenue and is slightly above the street average. The living area is around average for both the street and the neighbourhood, meaning the house has a functional, modest footprint. The year built (1909) is older than the street average of 1929, and significantly older than the Winnipeg average of 1966. This will be a factor for maintenance and system updates. The assessed value is notably low, especially compared to the citywide average of $390,100—making this one of the more affordable properties citywide (top 99% lowest assessed).

Appeal lies in affordability and land. A buyer gets a full lot in a central neighbourhood at a price point that’s hard to find elsewhere in Winnipeg. The low assessed value translates to lower property taxes. The home likely needs updates, but the land itself has above-average potential for additions, gardens, parking, or future redevelopment.

This property suits: first-time buyers looking for an entry point into homeownership with room to add sweat equity, investors seeking a low-cost rental or fix-and-hold property, or anyone prioritizing land size and location over move-in-ready condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the property in a flood zone or does it have known water issues?
There is no flood-zone indicator in this data. The lot size is slightly above average for the area, but without a soil report or property disclosure, you’ll need to check Manitoba’s flood maps and ask the seller or agent about basement seepage, drainage, and the condition of the foundation—especially given the 1909 build date.

2. What’s the typical commute or access to amenities?
The property is on Alfred Avenue in William Whyte, which is a central Winnipeg neighbourhood. It’s a short drive to downtown, the North End, and major routes like Main Street and the Perimeter Highway. You’ll want to check walking distances to grocery stores, transit stops, and schools yourself to see if they fit your daily needs.

3. How are the schools in the area?
School catchment information is not included in this data. William Whyte is served by the River East Transcona School Division. You should verify which elementary, middle, and high schools serve this address, and look up their current ratings and programming.

4. Is the home occupied or vacant, and what’s the condition inside?
This data set does not include occupancy or interior condition. Given the age and low assessed value, assume the home needs significant updating. A home inspection and a walkthrough are essential to assess wiring, plumbing, roof, HVAC, and any structural issues.

5. What would the monthly property taxes be?
Property taxes in Winnipeg are roughly 2–3% of the assessed value per year. At $117,000 assessed, you can estimate around $2,300–$3,500 annually, or $190–$290 per month. Check the City of Winnipeg’s tax estimator for exact figures based on the latest mill rate.
