Property Overview
This home at 339 Victoria Crescent is a substantial, well-established property in a sought-after Winnipeg neighbourhood.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the age of the home compare to others in the area?
Built in 1980, this home is newer than 90% of the properties on Victoria Crescent and 85% of those in the immediate neighbourhood, offering a more modern foundation than many surrounding homes.
2. The assessed value seems low for a home of this size and location. Why is that?
Property assessments in Manitoba are for taxation purposes and don't necessarily reflect current market value. The assessment of $73,200 is actually in the top 3% for Winnipeg, indicating the city views it as a high-value property. The last sold price in 2020 was $71,900, which is consistent with this assessment.
3. What does the "rank by area" data actually tell me?
The rankings show how this property compares to others. For example, its lot size is larger than 81% of homes on its street and a remarkable 98% of homes in all of Winnipeg. Similarly, its living area is larger than 93% of street properties and 99% city-wide, highlighting its exceptional space.
4. There's no garage. Is that typical for the street?
The listing confirms there is no garage. This is a trade-off for the very large lot and pool area. Buyers should consider the cost and feasibility of adding a garage or relying on driveway parking, which the ample lot size may accommodate.
5. The home has a pool. What should I consider beyond maintenance?
A private pool is a rare luxury in Winnipeg. Beyond ongoing maintenance, consider its impact on insurance costs, safety regulations (especially for families with young children), and the limited seasonal use. However, it adds significant appeal for entertaining and can make the large backyard a true private retreat.
