Property Overview: 11 Byars Bay, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 11 Byars Bay in the Munroe East neighbourhood presents a solid, above-average offering within its immediate context. Built in 1969, it is a well-established property on a 5,497 sqft lot. The key appeal lies in its strong relative standing: with 1,169 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 10-14% for size within both its street and neighbourhood, offering more room than many local comparables. Its assessed value also ranks highly for the area, suggesting it is a substantial property within Munroe East.
The property suits practical buyers looking for a home that outperforms its immediate peers without the premium of a city-wide standout. It’s ideal for someone who values space and established community character over a newer build or a maximized lot size. A thoughtful perspective is that while its city-wide rankings are average, its local dominance means you’re acquiring one of the larger, more valuable homes on the block—a position that can offer stability and pride of place. The recent sale history (2023, in the CA$350k–400k range) indicates active market interest.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home truly compare to others nearby?
The data shows it consistently ranks above average for Munroe East, particularly in living area (top 10%) and assessed value (top 9%). It is a larger and more substantial home than most in the direct neighbourhood.
2. What does the assessed value figure mean?
The assessed value of $34,300 is for municipal tax purposes. It is not the market value. Its high rank (top 9% in the area) indicates the city assesses this property as more valuable than over 90% of homes in Munroe East, which often correlates with market appeal.
3. The lot size seems average. Is that a drawback?
On Byars Bay, the lot is around the street average. However, within the broader Munroe East area, it ranks above average (top 24%). It provides a standard-sized urban yard. The trade-off is that the home itself uses the land for more interior space.
4. The home was built in 1969. What should I consider?
A home of this age likely contains its original building materials, which can be durable but may be nearing the end of their service life. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection of major systems (roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation) and consider the potential for updates, while also appreciating the character and established landscaping of an older property.
