Property Overview: 60 Gobert Crescent, River Park South, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated home in River Park South presents a solid, middle-of-the-road offering with notable stability. Built in 1995, it is newer than most homes across Winnipeg and within its established neighborhood. The 1,320 sqft living area is consistently average for its immediate street and broader area, suggesting a comfortable size without standing out. The lot size of 5,798 sqft is a relative strength, offering above-average outdoor space for both the neighborhood and the street.
The primary appeal lies in its balanced metrics and established location. Its assessed value of $479k sits comfortably around the average for Gobert Crescent but ranks above average city-wide, indicating a perceived value that holds up well across Winnipeg. This consistency makes it a lower-volatility option in the market. It would suit practical buyers—perhaps young families or downsizers—seeking a move-in ready home in a mature suburb without extreme peaks or valleys in its profile. The data suggests a property that is unlikely to surprise, for better or worse, appealing to those prioritizing predictability over standout features.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
The home last sold between $450k-$500k in mid-2021, a price that placed it in the top 30% of sales on Gobert Crescent at that time. This historical sale price aligns closely with its current assessed value and street average.
2. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes, relatively. The land area ranks in the top 25% on Gobert Crescent and top 28% in River Park South, meaning you get more yard space than many comparable properties in the immediate area, though it is closer to the city-wide average.
3. The home is described as "newer than average." What does that mean for a buyer?
Built in 1995, the home is newer than roughly 80% of comparable properties across Winnipeg and 74% within River Park South. This typically suggests potentially fewer major age-related repairs (like roofing or foundational updates) in the near term compared to much older stock, though systems like HVAC may still be due for replacement.
4. Are the property taxes likely to be high?
The assessed value is above the city-wide average, so property taxes would be calculated on a higher base value than many Winnipeg homes. However, within its own neighborhood and street, the assessment is around average, so taxes should be typical for River Park South.
5. Where can I find verified, exact historical sale prices?
The website does not display exact MLS sold figures due to industry rules. You must request this data directly via email from the site provider, who will manually look up and send the fully verified transaction history.
