Property Overview: 86 Hollington Road, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 86 Hollington Road is a study in contrasts, offering a compelling mix of established neighbourhood charm and relative city-wide value. Built in 1986, it is a mature property on a generous 7,181 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor space that is above average for Winnipeg. With 1,760 sqft of living area, the home is more compact than many in the immediate Linden Woods area, but still offers comfortable family-sized space.
Its primary appeal lies in its position within a desirable, established neighbourhood combined with a city-elite assessed value ranking. While its value is below average for Hollington Road itself, it ranks within the top 5% city-wide, suggesting a premium location at a potentially more accessible price point than newer, larger homes on the same street. This creates an opportunity for buyers seeking Linden Woods prestige without the highest price tag. The property would suit a downsizer from a larger home in the area looking to maintain their community ties, or a growing family making a strategic entry into a top-tier neighbourhood, possibly with plans to renovate or expand over time. It’s a home for those who value land size and location over having the newest or largest house on the block.
