Property Overview
189 Imperial Avenue is a modern two-storey home in Winnipeg's Glenwood neighborhood. Built in 2020, it offers a move-in-ready, low-maintenance lifestyle with the benefit of newer construction. The home's primary appeal lies in its above-average living space (1,417 sq ft) for its immediate area and its contemporary build, which contrasts with the predominantly mid-century homes in Glenwood. It sits on a smaller, more manageable lot, which reduces yard work but offers less private outdoor space.
This property is well-suited for first-time buyers, small families, or professionals seeking a modern home without the need for immediate renovations. It also appeals to those who prioritize interior space and newer systems (like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC) over a large yard. A less obvious angle is its appeal to data-conscious buyers: the home consistently ranks in the top tiers for living area, assessed value, and year built compared to its direct neighbors, suggesting it is a standout property on its street and within Glenwood.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others in the area?
The data shows it's a standout in Glenwood for its newness (built in 2020, ranking in the top 5% of the neighborhood) and for its living space (top 12%). However, its lot size is smaller than most area homes (top 90%, meaning 90% of area lots are larger).
2. What does the assessed value tell me?
The assessed value of $40,700 is above the average for both Imperial Avenue and the wider Glenwood area. This typically reflects the newer construction and larger-than-average living space for this locale, but it is not a direct market price.
3. Is the smaller lot a significant drawback?
That depends on your lifestyle. The smaller lot (about 1/4 of a typical city lot) means less yard maintenance, which is a plus for many. However, it offers less space for gardening, play structures, or expansive outdoor entertaining compared to other homes in the area.
4. What is the basement condition?
The listing notes the basement exists but is "not renovated." Buyers should budget for potential finishing or use it as-is for storage and utilities.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale price range is based on public data. The page provides a direct option to request the exact, verified sold price by email from the site administrators, who manually provide the information.
