42 Royal York Drive is a well-established home in Winnipeg's Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 1986, it offers 1,582 sqft of living space on a 5,849 sqft lot. The home presents a specific value proposition, standing out in certain city-wide metrics while being more modest compared to its immediate, affluent surroundings.
Key Characteristics, Appeal & Ideal Buyer
This property’s appeal is rooted in its position as a relatively affordable entry point into the desirable Linden Woods area. While its living space and lot size are below the neighbourhood averages, this is reflected in its assessed value, which is also below the local norm. This creates an opportunity for buyers seeking the Linden Woods postal code, highly-rated schools, and mature community feel without the premium price tag of a larger, newer home on the street.
From a city-wide perspective, the home shows strength. Its living area is above the Winnipeg average, and its assessed value ranks in the top 11% city-wide, indicating solid inherent value. The lot, while one of the smaller ones on Royal York Drive, is still near the city-wide average. This home would suit a practical buyer—perhaps a young family, a downsizer, or an investor—who prioritizes location and value over having the biggest property on the block. It’s for someone who sees the potential in a 1980s build and is comfortable with a home that may require updates, trading absolute size for a coveted address.
1. How does this home’s value compare to others in Linden Woods?
The home’s assessed value is below the Linden Woods average, ranking in the top 77% (meaning about 23% of homes in the area are valued lower). This suggests it is one of the more accessible properties financially in this neighbourhood.
2. Is the lot size a significant drawback?
While the lot is one of the smaller ones on Royal York Drive (ranking 48th out of 51), at nearly 5,850 sqft it is still a generous size by Winnipeg standards and is close to the city-wide average. It offers ample outdoor space for most needs.
3. What does the "above average" city-wide ranking for living area mean?
Despite being smaller than many Linden Woods homes, its 1,582 sqft of living space is actually larger than the average Winnipeg home. This highlights the above-average scale of homes in Linden Woods overall.
4. When was it last sold and for approximately how much?
Based on available data, the property sold between 2016 and 2025 for an estimated price in the range of CA$400,000–450,000. The exact sale price can be requested directly from the listing service.
5. Are homes from 1986 typically a concern?
A 1986 build is newer than the average Winnipeg home. While it will likely have features and systems characteristic of its era, it is a solidly middle-aged property for the city, not an older character home. Its condition would depend on how it has been maintained and updated over the decades.
