Property Overview
This two-storey home at 174 Willow Creek Road in Bridgwater Trails presents a modern, low-maintenance living opportunity. Built in 2021, it offers the appeal of a nearly new construction with contemporary finishes and systems still under warranty. The 2,135 sqft living area and attached garage are situated on a generous 5,675 sqft lot, providing good outdoor space for a newer community. Its core appeal lies in its balance of new-build benefits within an established, popular neighbourhood. The home suits first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready property without immediate renovation needs, or downsizers looking for modern convenience and a single-family home layout without the upkeep of an older house. A thoughtful perspective is its strong ranking relative to Winnipeg as a whole (top 7% for living area, top 4% for assessed value), suggesting it offers above-average space and perceived value for the broader city market, not just its immediate area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the condition of the basement?
The listing notes the basement exists but is "not renovated." This typically means it is unfinished, offering blank-canvas space for future expansion, but will require investment to develop into living space.
2. How does this property compare to others on the street?
The data provides nuanced context. While the home ranks highly for its newness (top 22% on the street), its living area and assessed value are more middle-of-the-pack compared to direct neighbours. This suggests you're paying more for the modern build year and condition than for maximum square footage on this particular street.
3. Is the assessed value the same as the listing price?
No. The assessed value of $660k is for municipal tax purposes. The listing price is separate and not provided in this data set. Always confirm the current asking price.
4. What does the neighbourhood ranking mean?
The home ranks in the top 27% of its neighbourhood (Bridgwater Trails) for lot size and top 10% for its newness. This indicates it is on a larger-than-average lot for the area and is one of the newer homes built there, which are positive attributes within this specific community.
5. What are the potential downsides of a 2021 build?
While offering modern efficiency, homes from this period may have been built during supply chain pressures. A thorough inspection is wise to ensure construction quality. Also, the unrenovated basement means additional costs to fully utilize the home's total potential square footage.
