Highlights & common questions: 889 Laxdal Road, Winnipeg

Property Overview

889 Laxdal Road is a well-established two-storey home in Elmhurst, built in 1984. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average space and a mature setting at a value-conscious point in the market. With 1,646 sqft of living space and a nearly 6,000 sqft lot, it provides more room than most homes in Winnipeg. The property features a finished basement and an attached garage.

The home suits practical buyers looking for a solid, move-in-ready foundation in a quiet neighborhood. It’s ideal for a young family needing space to grow, or for downsizers seeking a manageable house without a condo’s constraints. Its strong rankings for lot size, living area, and assessed value within the city suggest it’s a competitively sized property for the price. The 2016 purchase price provides a clear benchmark for market appreciation. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home ranks highly for size and value city-wide, its street-level ranking for lot size is lower, indicating it’s on a street of larger, mature properties—offering a established neighbourhood feel.
