Property Overview: 842 Lansdowne Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling balance of space, value, and modernity within its context. Built in 1959, it is notably newer than most homes in the Robertson neighborhood, suggesting potentially fewer issues with aging infrastructure compared to its peers. With 1,078 sqft of living area, it offers above-average space for the immediate area and sits on a larger-than-average lot of over 5,000 sqft, providing valuable outdoor space and potential.
Its appeal lies in its strong positional value. The assessed value of $304k ranks well above the street and neighborhood averages, indicating it is perceived as a higher-quality asset in its immediate market. However, it remains significantly below the Winnipeg citywide average for assessed value, positioning it as an accessible entry point into a mature neighborhood. This property would suit practical first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a well-sized, relatively modern home without a premium citywide price tag. It also appeals to value-oriented investors or homeowners who prioritize lot size and a home's relative standing within its community over sheer square footage.
