Property Overview: 233 Willow Creek Road, Bridgwater Trails
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a modern, two-storey home built in 2022, offering a move-in-ready condition in the popular Bridgwater Trails neighbourhood. Its key features include a generous 2,359 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a full (though unfinished) basement providing ample storage or future expansion potential. The lot is a comfortable 5,111 sqft.
The primary appeal lies in its balance of new construction benefits and established community living. As a near-new build, major systems and finishes are under warranty and modern, minimizing immediate repair concerns. The home ranks highly for its newness and size compared to most of Winnipeg, positioning it as a contemporary and spacious option. It particularly suits first-time buyers looking for a modern home without the wait of a build, growing families needing the room a two-storey layout provides, or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance, single-family home without the worries of an older property. A thoughtful perspective is its value for a 2022 build; it offers the chance to be the first to put a personal stamp on the interior before any significant wear and tear sets in.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the neighbourhood like?
Bridgwater Trails is a master-planned community in Waverley West, known for its parks, pathways, and newer amenities. It’s a family-oriented area with a mix of residential properties and convenient access to shopping and schools.
2. Why is the assessed value different from the last sale price?
The home sold for $65.70k in May 2022, shortly after construction. Its current assessed value of $66.60k reflects a slight increase, which is typical as a new home is officially entered into the assessment roll after its first full year. Assessments are for tax purposes and can differ from market value.
3. What does the "ranking" data mean?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in the neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. For example, being "better than 96% in Winnipeg" for year built means it is newer than the vast majority of homes in the city, a sign of its modern construction.
4. Is the basement developed?
No, the basement is noted as "not renovated," meaning it is unfinished. This presents a blank canvas for future development, such as a rec room, home gym, or additional bedrooms, but would require an investment to complete.
5. How does this home compare to others on the street?
The data shows a mix. While it ranks very high for being new on the street, its lot size and past sale price are more average for the area. This suggests you are paying a premium for the modern home itself rather than an exceptionally large property, which is common for newer builds in established subdivisions.
