Property Overview: 57 Ashland Avenue, Riverview, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1949 home in Riverview presents a balanced, middle-of-the-market opportunity. With 1,174 sqft of living space and an assessed value of $372k, it sits comfortably around the neighborhood and city averages for similar homes. Its primary appeal lies in its proportionally generous 6,396 sqft lot, which is above average city-wide, offering valuable outdoor space or future expansion potential in a mature area.
The home suits practical buyers looking for a solid entry point into a established neighborhood without extreme outliers in size or price. It’s notably newer than many homes on its own street, potentially suggesting fewer immediate concerns associated with very old construction. The appeal is grounded in stability rather than standout luxury—it’s a property that matches the fabric of the area, ideal for someone seeking a manageable footprint on a desirable lot size, who values a classic neighborhood feel over a brand-new build.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
Based on available data, the last sold price (2021) was in the $350k-$400k range, which placed it in the top 50% for the street at that time. The current assessed value of $372k is slightly below the current street average of ~$426k.
2. Is the living space considered small for the area?
The living area is below the average for Ashland Avenue itself, but is very close to the Riverview neighborhood average (1,174 sqft vs. 1,306 sqft) and the Winnipeg city average. It offers a typically sized layout for the area.
3. What does the "above average" year built ranking mean?
Built in 1949, this home is newer than most on its street (where the average year built is 1939). This can be an advantage, potentially indicating updates over time or systems that are a decade younger than many immediate neighbors.
4. The lot size ranking seems low for the street but high city-wide. Why?
The lot is just below the exact street average (6,396 sqft vs. 6,397 sqft), hence the low street ranking. However, lots on Ashland Avenue are generally large, so this property’s lot is still significantly bigger than the typical Winnipeg lot, making it a relative strength in the broader market.
5. How can I verify the exact historical sold price?
The site provides sold price ranges for reference. To obtain fully verified, exact sold figures and a complete transaction history, you must request a manual lookup via email, as this data is not sourced from the MLS system.
