Property Overview: 107 Southbridge Drive, Niakwa Place, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 2,026 sqft home, built in 2003, sits on a 7,145 sqft lot in the established Niakwa Place neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong relative value and modern construction within a mature community. Compared to the wider city and local area, the home offers above-average living space and a notably newer build year, ranking in the top 2% for age in Niakwa Place. The assessed value of $559k presents a compelling dynamic: while it is above average for both the city and the broader area, it is actually below average for Southbridge Drive itself. This suggests a potential value opportunity within a desirable street where surrounding homes are assessed significantly higher (averaging ~$697k).
The property suits buyers seeking a well-sized, relatively modern home in a settled neighborhood without paying the premium typical for its immediate street. It’s ideal for those who value space and newer infrastructure over a fully renovated or luxury finish, and for value-conscious buyers who recognize the advantage of a lower assessment on a street of higher-valued homes. The generous lot size also offers room for outdoor living or future expansion.
