Property Overview
This home at 32 Paul Martin Drive in Winnipeg's Mission Gardens neighbourhood presents a balanced, above-average offering in a mature setting. Built in 2006, its key appeal lies in its modern construction relative to much of the city's housing stock, combined with a sensible layout. The 1,173 sqft living area is comfortably sized for the area and street, placing it solidly in the middle of the local range. A less obvious point of strength is its assessed value, which ranks consistently higher than average on its street, in Mission Gardens, and across Winnipeg, suggesting the property is perceived as holding good value for its attributes. The lot size of 4,427 sqft is typical for the street but smaller than many city-wide, offering a manageable yard with less maintenance.
This property would suit practical buyers looking for a move-in-ready home from this century in an established community. It’s ideal for first-time homeowners, small families, or downsizers who prioritize a newer build (avoiding the major repair concerns of much older homes) and a straightforward footprint. Its strong assessment ranking indicates it could be a sensible, value-holding choice rather than a standout luxury purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,173 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for both Paul Martin Drive and the wider Mission Gardens area, offering a standard amount of space for the neighbourhood.
2. What does the "above average" assessed value ranking mean?
The home’s assessed value of $44,700 ranks in the top 18% on its street and top 17% in Mission Gardens. This generally indicates that, compared to similar local properties, it is valued more highly, which can reflect factors like condition, updates, or desirable lot placement.
3. Is the lot size a limitation?
The 4,427 sqft lot is average for the street but below the city-wide average. This means outdoor space is adequate for typical use but may not suit those seeking a very large yard. The upside is less yard work.

5. What is the main advantage of the 2006 build year?
Built 20 years ago, this home is significantly newer than the Winnipeg city-wide average (1966). This typically translates to modern building codes, newer major systems (like plumbing and electrical), and potentially lower immediate maintenance costs compared to much older stock.
