230 Moore Avenue

Property Overview: 230 Moore Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This property’s primary distinction is its exceptionally large lot. At over 14,000 square feet, the land area ranks in the top 2-3% compared to homes on its street, in the Pulberry neighborhood, and across Winnipeg. This offers rare potential for expansion, gardening, or simply enjoying substantial private outdoor space in the city. The home itself, with a living area around 1,108 sqft, is more modest in size, suggesting the value is heavily anchored in the land.

Its appeal lies in a combination of prestige and potential. The assessed value of $532k places it in the top tiers of its immediate area, indicating a premium location on Moore Avenue. It suits a specific buyer: someone who values land above all else, possibly looking for a long-term home with room to grow, or an investor/developer who sees value in the lot itself. It’s less suited for buyers seeking a large, move-in-ready house, as the existing living space is below local averages.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much higher than the street average?
The assessed value reflects both the home and the land. Given that this lot is more than double the size of the average lot on Moore Avenue, the premium valuation is primarily due to this scarce and desirable land asset.

2. How reliable is the sold price data shown?
The sold price range (CA$500k–550k in January 2021) is based on publicly available data, not the MLS. For fully verified and exact historical transaction figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email.

3. What does the "Elite" ranking for land area actually mean?
It means that within each comparison group (street, neighborhood, city), only 2-3% of comparable properties have a larger lot size. This is an objective statistical ranking highlighting the lot's rarity.

4. Is the house itself outdated or small?
The provided data only shows the living area is slightly below the local averages. The year built is not specified for this home, but the averages on the street and area suggest mid-1960s construction. A viewing is necessary to determine the home's current condition and layout.

5. What are the implications of such a large lot?
Beyond privacy and space, it may come with higher property taxes due to the high assessment. It could also present opportunities (like adding an addition or secondary structure, subject to zoning) or responsibilities (like increased maintenance) compared to a standard city lot.
