Property Overview & Key Characteristics
170 Whiteway Road is a compact, single-family home in Winnipeg's Meadows neighbourhood. Built in 1979, its 833 sqft living area is modest but typical for its immediate street, where it ranks in the top 70% for size. The lot is a manageable 4,499 sqft. The home’s assessed value is notably lower than the area average, positioning it as an accessible entry point into the market.
Its primary appeal lies in its relative affordability and stability within its local context. On its own street, the home is consistently average or above-average in key metrics like living area, year built, and assessed value, suggesting it fits well within an established, consistent streetscape. This makes it a practical choice for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a lower-maintenance property. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is smaller than the broader neighbourhood and city averages, this can translate to lower utility costs and less upkeep, focusing ownership on essentials. Its valuation, which is below the Meadows average but around average city-wide, indicates a potential value opportunity within its specific community.
