Property Overview: 27 Acton Place, River Park South, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-established home in River Park South presents a solid, above-average offering for Winnipeg. Built in 1985, its 1,603 sqft living area is notably spacious compared to the city-wide average, providing ample room for a family. The standout feature is the generous 9,507 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 5% of the neighborhood, offering exceptional outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion—a rarity in mature suburbs.
The home’s assessed value of $478k is consistent with its immediate street and area, positioning it as a stable investment in a sought-after community. Its appeal lies in this balance: it’s a home that doesn’t sacrifice yard size for interior space. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready property in a mature neighborhood with established amenities, who value a large private lot over a brand-new build. It’s particularly fitting for families or those who enjoy outdoor living and want room to grow without moving to the city's outskirts.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
The home last sold in 2016. While exact sale prices require a manual lookup, the data indicates its last sale price range was in the top half for the area at that time. Its current assessed value is very close to the street average.
2. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. The lot is approximately 75% larger than the neighborhood average. This not only provides more privacy and space but can also contribute to long-term value, as larger lots in mature areas are increasingly scarce.
3. The home was built in 1985. What should I consider?
This places it among the newer homes on its street. Buyers should plan for standard maintenance and potential updates common to houses of this era, such as windows, roofing, or interior finishes, but can also expect a more modern layout than much older Winnipeg homes.
4. How does it rank for living space in the area?
Its living area is above the city average but typical for River Park South. It offers more space than many Winnipeg homes, but is comparable to others in this specific community, meaning you’re getting the neighborhood norm for space, not an outlier.
5. Where can I get verified historical sale data?
The provided sold price ranges are based on public data. For fully verified figures and a complete transaction history, you must request a manual lookup via email, as MLS records are not displayed on this site due to industry rules.
