Property Overview: 441 Wales Avenue, Meadowood, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home stands out for its modern build and efficient use of space. Built in 2020, it is a notably newer property compared to most in Meadowood and across Winnipeg, ranking in the top 1-3% for its year of construction in these areas. This translates to likely lower maintenance costs and modern building standards.
The 1,410 sqft living area is spacious for the neighbourhood, placing it in the top 3% on its street and top 11% in Meadowood. This suggests a well-designed interior that maximizes usable space. However, the lot size of 2,600 sqft is smaller than typical for the area and city, indicating a lower-maintenance yard but less private outdoor space.
Its appeal lies in this balance: it offers a modern, relatively large interior on a manageable lot. It would suit buyers seeking a turn-key, contemporary home without the upkeep of an older property or a large yard. First-time homeowners, small families, or downsizers looking for single-level living without sacrificing interior space would find it particularly suitable. A thoughtful perspective is that the high ranking for living area within an older neighbourhood suggests this property offers a "best of both worlds" scenario—modern comforts within an established community.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value of $39,80k the market price?
No, the assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. The recent sold price history (e.g., $450k-$500k in 2024) is a more accurate indicator of current market value.
2. What does the smaller lot size mean for me?
It typically means less yard maintenance and lower landscaping costs, which is a benefit for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. The trade-off is less potential for expansive gardens, additions, or detached structures like a large garage.
3. As a newer build in an older area, are there any considerations?
While the home itself is modern, it's important to consider the character and infrastructure of the surrounding neighbourhood, which features older homes. Services and community amenities will be those of the established Meadowood area.
4. How significant are the "top percentile" rankings provided?
They are useful context. For example, being in the top 1% for year built in Meadowood starkly highlights how much newer this home is compared to its immediate peers, which average from the 1970s and 80s.
5. How can I get the exact historical sold prices?
The exact sold prices are not publicly displayed in detail. As noted on the listing, you can request this information directly via email from the service, which provides the precise figures manually.
