Here is a clean, standalone summary of 849 Alexander Avenue, written for direct webpage display.
849 Alexander Avenue is a 960 sqft home built in 1907, sitting on a 2,602 sqft lot in the West Alexander neighbourhood of Winnipeg.
Key Characteristics and Appeal
This property’s main draw is its entry-level price point. With an assessed value of $106,000, it ranks in the bottom 1% citywide, making it one of the more affordable options in Winnipeg. Its living area is roughly average for its street but below average for the broader neighbourhood and city, meaning it suits someone looking for a compact, no-frills home rather than extra space.
The house is older than most on the street (75th percentile for age), but interestingly, its vintage is fairly typical for its neighbourhood, which has an average build year of 1921. The lot size is also notably smaller than both the neighbourhood and city averages—a trade-off for the lower price. This home is less about finding a "good deal" on space or land, and more about accessing homeownership at a low cost of entry. It would best suit a first-time buyer on a tight budget, an investor looking for a lower-cost rental property in a central area, or someone who prioritizes location and low purchase price over square footage or lot size.
1. How does this property’s assessed value compare to similar homes?
It is well below average. The assessed value of $106,000 ranks in the lowest 1% of comparable homes citywide. On its own street, it ranks 563rd out of 608 properties. This reflects its smaller size, age, and lot, and positions it as one of the most budget-friendly options in the area.
2. Is this a good option for someone wanting a large yard?
No. The lot is 2,602 sqft, which is about average for Alexander Avenue but significantly smaller than typical lots in West Alexander (3,591 sqft average) and far smaller than the citywide average of 6,570 sqft for comparable homes. Yard space is limited.
3. What does the “rank” data really tell me?
The data compares this property to similar homes on the same street, in the neighbourhood, and across the city. A higher percentile number (e.g., 93%) means it ranks lower than most—so it falls into the bottom tier for that metric. For this home, the ranks confirm it is a low-value, low-space property by most measures, except relative to its immediate street for living area and lot size.
4. Is the building age a concern?
Built in 1907, it is older than 75% of homes on the street and 96% of homes citywide. While its age is typical for the neighbourhood, a home of this vintage will likely require ongoing maintenance and may have older systems (plumbing, electrical, foundation). A thorough inspection is strongly recommended.
5. Who is this home not a good fit for?
It is not ideal for families needing more space, buyers wanting a large, private lot, or anyone looking for a move-in-ready modern home without renovation or maintenance work. It also wouldn’t suit someone prioritizing high resale value in a rapidly appreciating area, as its rankings suggest limited upside in value relative to its neighbours.
