Property Overview: 469 Robin Hood Crescent, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 948 sqft bungalow, built in 1956, presents a classic Munroe East home with a standout feature: its generous 6,614 sqft lot. The home itself is of a comfortable, average size for its immediate street and neighbourhood, but the land parcel is notably larger than most, ranking in the top 5% of the Munroe East area. This creates a clear opportunity for expansion, gardening, or simply enjoying ample private outdoor space—a rarity in the city where the home's living area is below the Winnipeg average.
Its appeal lies in this land-to-building ratio. While the interior space is functional and typical for the street, the property offers a blank canvas where the true value is in the potential of the lot itself. The assessed value is consistently around average across all comparison levels, suggesting a stable, market-aligned entry point. It last sold between $300k-$350k in 2020.
This home would suit a practical buyer who values space and potential over immediate turn-key finishes. It’s ideal for a first-time homeowner comfortable with a property that may require updates, a downsizer seeking a manageable home with a large yard, or a long-term investor who recognizes the value of a sizable lot in a mature neighbourhood. It offers a grounded, no-frills opportunity where the land is the primary asset.
