Property Overview: 89 Burland Avenue, River Park South, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home at 89 Burland Avenue is a modest, single-family dwelling built in 1984. Its key characteristic is its compact size, with 866 sqft of living space, which places it below the average for its street, neighborhood, and the city of Winnipeg. The lot is also slightly smaller than average for the River Park South area at just over 4,100 sqft. The assessed value of $357k is fairly typical citywide but sits below the averages for its immediate street and neighborhood, suggesting a potentially more accessible entry point into this community.
The appeal lies in its position as a relatively affordable option in a well-established suburban neighborhood. For the right buyer, the below-average size translates to lower utility costs, less maintenance, and manageable upkeep. It suits first-time homebuyers seeking a foothold in a stable area, downsizers looking to reduce their living space without leaving the community, or investors interested in a practical rental property. A thoughtful perspective is that a smaller, efficiently designed home on a standard lot can offer greater flexibility for future expansion or landscaping projects compared to a home that already uses its lot to maximum capacity.
