Property Overview: 79 Coralberry Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home in Garden City is a practical and grounded offering, built in 1959 with 1,167 sqft of living space. Its key strength is a notably generous 6,048 sqft lot, which places it in the top 16% for land size on its own street and the top 30% citywide—offering ample outdoor space that is increasingly rare. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage. Its assessed value and living area are consistently around the average for the neighbourhood, presenting it as a standard, no-surprises property in terms of size and official valuation.
The appeal lies in its solid lot size, which provides room for gardening, play, or future expansion, coupled with the flexibility of a renovated lower level. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout in a stable neighbourhood, as well as value-oriented buyers who see potential in the land itself rather than a premium, turn-key home. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents the "bones" of a neighbourhood—it’s not an outlier in metrics like assessed value, which can mean less competition and a fairer purchase price, allowing you to invest in personalization over time.
