Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 23 Courageous Cove in Winnipeg's Mission Gardens neighbourhood presents a balanced, modern offering. Built in 2011, it is a notably newer construction compared to most homes in both the wider city and the immediate area, suggesting contemporary building standards and potentially lower maintenance in the near term. With 1,516 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above the city and neighbourhood averages, offering more room than many comparable properties without being the largest on its own street.
Its appeal lies in this above-average positioning within a desirable context. While its assessed value is on the lower end for Courageous Cove itself, it ranks highly within Mission Gardens and citywide, indicating strong value retention for the area. The lot size is standard, providing typical outdoor space without excessive upkeep. A less obvious perspective is that this home represents a "sweet spot"—it benefits from being in an established, newer subdivision (as seen by the similar ages of nearby homes) while offering more interior space than many city homes, all at an assessment that suggests a reasonable entry point for the neighbourhood.
This property would suit buyers seeking a modern, move-in-ready home in a mature newer community. It’s ideal for growing families or professionals who want space without the unpredictability of an older home, and for value-conscious buyers who recognize the advantage of a higher-ranked assessment in a broader, more competitive market.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to the likely market price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. While it ranks well against the city and Mission Gardens, it's below the street average. Market price is influenced by current conditions, recent upgrades, and buyer demand, so a professional valuation or comparative market analysis is recommended.
2. What does the "above average" ranking for year built really mean?
With a 2011 build, this home is newer than approximately 90% of homes citywide and 94% in Mission Gardens. This typically implies modern electrical, plumbing, insulation, and building codes, which can translate to energy efficiency and fewer major system replacements in the short term.
3. The home last sold between 2017-2025. Can I find out the exact price?
Yes, the exact sold price history is available by request. The listing service provides this detailed data manually via email to verified users, free of unsolicited marketing.
4. Is the lot size sufficient for additions or a large garden?
At 5,319 sqft, the lot is standard for the area. Any plans for additions, decks, or pools would need to comply with city zoning bylaws regarding setbacks and lot coverage. It provides good usable space but may not accommodate a very large footprint expansion.
5. How does this home fit within the specific street of Courageous Cove?
The data shows a street of relatively uniform, newer homes (mostly built around 2010). This home’s living area is typical for the street, while its lot and assessed value are slightly below the street's average. This suggests a potentially attractive value proposition within a consistent, modern streetscape.
