Owners valued the median home at $240,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $263,529. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. In 2023, 14,740 homes changed hands at a median price of $374,000, by Statistics Canada’s count. Central Park doesn’t get its own sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Winnipeg.

Questions about property prices in Central Park
Is Central Park expensive for Manitoba?
No: Central Park’s census median is below the $300,000 of Manitoba’s towns.
Can I see individual sales or prices by street?
Not here: individual sales sit with provincial registries and aren’t open, so the published figures are town medians and averages.
