Property Overview: 272 Leighton Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1953-built home in Rossmere-B offers a practical and established living option. With 1,032 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably within the average range for its immediate street and neighborhood, though it is notably more compact than the Winnipeg citywide average. Its assessed value of $332k is above the neighborhood average, positioning it as a solid, mid-tier property within Rossmere-B.

The appeal lies in its relative stability and context. It’s not an outlier but a representative home in its area, which can be reassuring for buyers seeking a known quantity without unexpected extremes. The lot size, while below average for the neighborhood, is still a manageable 4,778 sqft. This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a straightforward, no-surprises home in a mature community. It’s for someone who values neighborhood consistency over a standout lot size or expansive square footage, and who sees potential in a home that performs steadily within its local market rather than competing with newer, larger citywide stock.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
The home last sold between $200k-$250k in early 2016. Its current assessed value of $332k is above the street average of ~$316.5k, suggesting it has appreciated and is now valued in the top third of properties on Leighton Avenue.

2. Is the living space considered small?
It depends on the scale. At 1,032 sqft, it is very close to the Rossmere-B neighborhood average (1,047 sqft). However, compared to the typical Winnipeg home (1,342 sqft), it is significantly smaller. It’s ideally suited for individuals, couples, or small families.

3. What does the lot size ranking mean for outdoor space?
The lot is 4,778 sqft, which is below the average for both the street and neighborhood. This means your yard will likely be more compact than many of your immediate neighbors’, but it also implies less maintenance.

4. The home was built in 1953. Is that older than most in the area?
Interestingly, no. The average build year on Leighton Avenue is 1946, and in Rossmere-B it’s 1955. This home is actually newer than many on its street and is typical for the postwar construction period of the neighborhood.

5. Are the property taxes likely to be high?
Property taxes are based on the assessed value. With an assessment ($332k) that is above the neighborhood average but around the city average, you can expect taxes to be moderately above the Rossmere-B norm but not exceptional citywide. Always verify with the latest municipal tax rate.
