Property Overview
30 Sunway Avenue is a compact, single-family home in Winnipeg's Meadows neighbourhood. Built in 1987, it sits on a roughly 4,000 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its position as an affordable entry point into homeownership, offering a manageable scale for a specific buyer. The home is notably smaller in living area (680 sqft) than most in the area, but its assessed value is proportionally lower, presenting a value-oriented opportunity.
This property would best suit a first-time buyer, an investor looking for a rental property, or someone seeking a minimalist, low-maintenance lifestyle. Its smaller size means lower utility costs and less upkeep, which can be a significant advantage. A less obvious perspective is that a home of this scale on its own lot is increasingly rare; it offers the autonomy of detached living without the footprint or price tag of a larger house, which could be perfect for someone who values private outdoor space but doesn't need extensive square footage indoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value the same as the market value?
No. The assessed value (approximately $33,600) is used for calculating property taxes. Market value, or what a buyer might pay, is determined by current market conditions and can be higher or lower. The home last sold for an estimated $250k-$300k in 2017.
2. How does the small living area impact daily life?
The 680 sqft layout requires efficient use of space and may not suit those with a lot of possessions or who need multiple dedicated rooms (like a home office and a guest room). However, it encourages a simpler lifestyle and is often easier and cheaper to heat, cool, and maintain.
3. What does the "Top 89%" ranking for living area mean?
This statistic means the home's living area is smaller than about 89% of the homes on Sunway Avenue. It confirms this is one of the more compact homes on the street, which is reflected in its value proposition.
4. Is the lot size a positive aspect?
Yes. While below the neighbourhood average, the 3,999 sqft lot is close to the average for Sunway Avenue itself. It provides a decent private yard space for its home size, which is a valuable feature not found in condominiums or townhouses at a similar price point.
5. How can I find out the exact historical sale price?
