Property Overview
This bi-level home at 29 Uplands Crescent in Winnipeg's Heritage Park neighbourhood presents a practical opportunity. Built in 1970, its key characteristic is its solidly average standing in most metrics when compared locally and city-wide. The 1,167 sqft living space is slightly below average for its immediate street but aligns with broader area norms. It sits on a 5,676 sqft lot and features a renovated basement. There is no garage or pool.
The appeal lies in its unpretentious, move-in-ready foundation within a stable neighbourhood. It suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable entry into homeownership without major immediate projects, or downsizers looking for a single-level living layout (bi-level) with a modernized lower space for family or hobbies. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" rankings across the board suggest a property priced without a premium for exceptional features or significant drawbacks, offering value through predictability and lower competition than standout homes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Top 73%" ranking for living area mean?
It means this home's living area is larger than 73% of the 40 comparable homes on Uplands Crescent. While it's slightly below the street's average size, it outperforms most of its direct neighbours.
Is the assessed value the same as the market price?
No. The assessed value (approximately $35,200) is for municipal tax purposes. The recent sold price history shows a market value in the $355,000 to $385,000 range, which is more indicative of what a buyer might pay.
How does the age of the home factor in?
Built in 1970, this home is newer than 90% of the homes on its street, which is a relative positive. Buyers should still consider a standard inspection for a 54-year-old property, but it may have seen fewer age-related issues than older peers on the block.
What are the implications of having no garage?
This limits covered storage and vehicle protection, a common trade-off in many mature neighbourhoods. Buyers should budget for alternative storage solutions and consider the impact of street parking during Winnipeg winters.
Can I get the exact historical sold prices?
The public data shows estimated price ranges. The listing service offers to provide the exact sold prices via a manual email request, which they aim to fulfill by the end of the same business day without using your email for marketing.
