84 Brock Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,791 sqft home on a 4,300 sqft lot, built in 1922. Its assessed value is $549,000.

What stands out is the contrast between the house itself and its location. The living area and assessed value rank well above average both on Brock Street and city-wide—meaning you’re getting a home that's larger and more valuable than most comparable properties in Winnipeg. However, within the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood, both figures sit around the middle of the pack. That’s the key tension here: the home is solidly above average for the city, but the neighbourhood it sits in pulls those comparisons down. You’re buying into an area with higher overall values and larger homes, but this particular property is priced and sized below the local top tier—so it may represent a more attainable entry point into that part of the city.

The land is noticeably smaller than most homes nearby—below average on the street, in the neighbourhood, and around average city-wide. The 1922 build date puts it older than most homes on the street and in the city, which is typical for the area but worth noting if you're thinking about maintenance or renovations.

This property would suit: A buyer who wants access to the Wellington Crescent area—known for its established streets, larger lots, and older character homes—but isn’t looking for a massive property or a top-of-market price tag. It’s a realistic fit for someone who prioritizes neighbourhood feel and city-wide value over having the biggest lot or the newest house on the block. Could work well for a couple, small family, or someone downsizing from a larger home in the same area but not ready to leave the neighbourhood entirely.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to what I’d actually pay?
The assessed value is $549,000, which ranks above average city-wide. But in this neighbourhood, average values sit around $805,000. That gap suggests the home is priced below the local peak, but assessor values don’t always match market conditions. Check recent sale data on similar-sized homes in the immediate area.

2. Is a 1922 home likely to need major updates?
It depends on what’s been done. The age alone means systems like plumbing, electrical, windows, and insulation may be original or updated at different times. Look for permits, ask about knob-and-tube wiring, and consider a pre-purchase inspection focused on the roof, foundation, and furnace. Many homes from this era have been well maintained—but some haven’t.

3. Why is the lot smaller than the neighbourhood average?
Homes in Wellington Crescent often sit on larger-than-average city lots—around 9,500 sqft locally, compared to this one’s 4,300 sqft. That may reflect an original subdivision pattern or a narrower infill lot. If you value yard space or privacy, view the property in person to gauge how it fits relative to neighbours.

4. How are the rankings and color bars calculated?
The rankings compare this property to similar homes within three scopes: Brock Street, the Wellington Crescent area, and all of Winnipeg. “Top X%” means it ranks better than that percentage of properties. Fill color bars reflect performance tiers—not value judgments—and the “Avg” is a rough median, not a precise market benchmark. Deeper fills mean you outperform a larger share of peers.

5. What’s the best way to see how this home fits into the neighbourhood?
The property page includes a link to open the neighbourhood map analysis, which lets you compare this home to nearby houses on year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. That’s a more visual way to see where it sits relative to others on the street and in the wider area.
