Property Overview: 725 Robin Hood Crescent, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 948 sqft bungalow, built in 1956, presents a classic Munroe East home with a distinct character. Its key appeal lies in its established neighbourhood setting and a lot size (5,494 sqft) that is notably above average for the local area, offering valuable outdoor space. The home’s living area is comfortably in line with nearby comparables, making it a practical size for many buyers.
A less obvious point of appeal is its status on the street: it is the oldest home on Robin Hood Crescent ("Elite — Top 3%"), which can signify a well-located, original lot in a mature area. The assessed value is modest relative to the city-wide average, potentially indicating a lower property tax burden and an accessible entry point into the market.
This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable footprint with a generous yard in a settled community. It’s also a candidate for buyers with a vision for gradual updates, comfortable with the character and maintenance considerations of a 70-year-old home.
