Homes in Point Douglas (4A)

The 4A stretch of Point Douglas and the neighbouring North End holds some of the oldest housing in Winnipeg, most of it built before the 1960s. Roughly half the buildings are single-detached houses, a lot of them full of turn-of-the-century character, and the rest are largely apartment blocks, small and large. Two and three-bedroom homes are the norm, which suits families and buyers who want space without a suburban price tag.

Affordable, and close to the core

Affordability is the defining feature here. It is one of the more affordable parts of the city, which draws value-minded buyers, investors, and anyone willing to take on an older home with good bones. And it is close in, just north of downtown and the Exchange District, so restaurants, entertainment and services are a short trip away, with the North End adding its own bakeries, shops and eateries.

Buying an older home here

Go in prepared. With homes this old, get a thorough inspection and look closely at the wiring, plumbing, heating and foundation, older systems are common. Ask what has been updated and budget for what has not, and make sure the basement is dry with a working sump pump. For a comfortable character home with the work already done, this area can offer a lot of house for the money.
