Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 147 Rougeau Avenue in Winnipeg's Mission Gardens neighbourhood presents a practical and value-oriented opportunity. Built in 1988, it is notably newer than many homes in the immediate area and across the city. Its key appeal lies in the balance it strikes: a 1,050 sqft living space on a generous 5,197 sqft lot. While the house size is typical for the street, the lot size is well above average for the area, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.
The property’s assessed value ranks highly compared to its direct neighbours, suggesting it may offer better finishes, condition, or utility than nearby homes. This combination of a newer build, a larger lot, and a strong relative assessment for the street makes it a sensible choice for first-time buyers or practical investors seeking a home with room to grow in a stable neighbourhood. It suits someone who values a manageable interior space paired with a more substantial, private yard—a less common find in many mature areas.
Frequently Asked Questions

It last sold between $300k-$350k in 2019. Its current assessed value is strong compared to its immediate neighbours, ranking in the top 12% on Rougeau Avenue.

3. What does the "above average" year built mean for a buyer?
Built in 1988, the home is newer than most on its street and across Winnipeg. This can often mean updated building standards, potentially fewer major system replacements in the near term, and a layout that fits modern living better than much older stock.
4. How does the living space compare to the area?
At 1,050 sqft, the living area is modest and fairly typical for Mission Gardens. Buyers should see this as a comfortable, efficient footprint rather than a spacious one, with the property’s appeal leaning more toward its lot and relative value.
