Property Overview: 83 Parkville Drive, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,215 sqft bungalow, built in 1963 on a 6,434 sqft lot in Pulberry, presents a solid, above-average offering within its immediate surroundings. Its primary appeal lies in its strong positioning on Parkville Drive itself. The home ranks in the top 10% of the street for assessed value ($429k vs. a street average of $383k) and year built, and in the top 21% for living area. This suggests a well-maintained or updated property that stands out positively among its direct neighbors.
The appeal is nuanced: while it shines on its own street, it becomes more average when compared to the broader Pulberry neighborhood and city-wide metrics. This creates an interesting value proposition. For a buyer, it means acquiring one of the better-maintained homes on a mature street, potentially offering a premium feel within a familiar neighborhood setting. It would suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready home in an established area who value stability and don’t necessarily need the largest house on the block, but do appreciate a home that holds its own and likely requires less immediate work than area averages.
A thoughtful perspective is the lot size: while slightly smaller than the street and neighborhood average, it ranks above average city-wide. This indicates a more efficient, potentially easier-to-maintain yard without sacrificing the space typical of Winnipeg homes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
Based on available data, the home sold in August 2023 for an estimated $400k-$450k, which placed it in the top 17% of sale prices for Parkville Drive at that time. This aligns with its above-street-average assessed value.
2. Is the living space considered large for the area?
At 1,215 sqft, the living area is above the average for Parkville Drive (1,158 sqft) but slightly below the averages for the wider Pulberry neighborhood (1,320 sqft) and Winnipeg overall (1,342 sqft). It offers comfortable space for its immediate context.
3. What does the "year built" ranking indicate?
Built in 1963, this home is newer than the average home on Parkville Drive (1960), ranking in the top 10%. This can suggest potentially newer infrastructure, like plumbing or electrical, compared to many direct neighbors.
4. How reliable is the sold price data shown?
The sold price ranges are based on publicly available data, not the MLS. For fully verified, exact historical sale figures, you must request a manual lookup by email through the site, which they provide as a service.
5. The assessed value is higher than the city average. Does that mean taxes will be high?
The assessed value of $429k is above the Winnipeg average for comparable homes ($390.1k). Property taxes are calculated using this assessed value and the municipal mill rate, so taxes would likely be proportionally higher than a home with an average assessment.
