158 Campbell Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit

This 1946 home offers 2,258 square feet of living space on a 5,693-square-foot lot. Its standout feature is the living area: it ranks in the top 4% on Campbell Street, top 6% citywide, and is well above the street average of 1,299 square feet. That means the interior is notably spacious for its immediate surroundings. The assessed value sits at $341,000, which is below the street average of $436,900 and significantly below the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood average of $805,600. The land area is close to typical for the street and city, but smaller than the large lots common in the broader neighbourhood. The year built (1946) is around average for the street but older than most homes citywide.

The appeal here is value-conscious space. You get a generous interior footprint in a central Winnipeg location, without paying a premium for the neighbourhood's higher price bracket. The home itself is older but not unusually so for the street. The lot is modest rather than sprawling, which may reduce upkeep compared to larger properties nearby. This property would suit a buyer who prioritises square footage and a good address over curb appeal from a large lot or a recently built home. It may also appeal to someone looking for a renovation project in a desirable pocket, given the gap between the assessed value and the neighbourhood average—though the buyer should verify actual condition.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The $341,000 assessment is below the Campbell Street average of $436,900 and well below the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood average of $805,600. Ranked in the bottom 16% on the street and bottom 6% in the area, it suggests the home may be smaller, older, or in less updated condition than many neighbours. Citywide, the value is around average (top 57%), which is more in line with typical Winnipeg homes.

2. Is the land area considered small?
The 5,693-square-foot lot is near the street average of 5,348 sqft and slightly below the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. However, it is notably smaller than the neighbourhood average of 9,488 sqft in Wellington Crescent, where larger lots are common. This means you get less outdoor space than many nearby properties, but also potentially less yard maintenance.

3. How old is the house, and is that typical for the area?
Built in 1946, the home is around the median age for Campbell Street (average 1945) and newer than the neighbourhood average of 1940. Citywide, it is older than most homes (average 1966). In this pocket of Winnipeg, a house from the mid-1940s is not unusual, but buyers should expect systems and finishes that reflect that era unless updated.

4. Why is the living area ranked so high but the value ranked low?
Living area only measures interior square footage, not condition, updates, or lot size. A home can be spacious but still have a lower assessed value if it needs renovation, has dated features, or sits on a smaller lot. In this case, the generous living space (top 4% on the street) contrasts with a modest lot and a value that trails neighbours, which often points to a property with good bones but deferred investment.

5. How can I see how this home compares to specific nearby houses?
The property detail page includes a link to a neighbourhood analysis map that lets you view this home alongside others nearby. You can compare year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size in more detail. That tool gives a clearer sense of where this property sits relative to its immediate neighbours, beyond the street and city averages.
