This 1,916 sqft home, built in 1900, sits on a 3,882 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s West Broadway neighbourhood. The numbers tell an interesting story: it offers more living space than roughly 87% of homes citywide (city average is 1,342 sqft), but it’s only average for its own street and neighbourhood. The assessed value of $356,000 stands well above the Balmoral Street average of $263,600 and the West Broadway average of $295,400—ranking in the top 16% and 20% respectively. However, that value sits near the middle citywide, where the comparable average is $390,100.
The land area is close to the neighbourhood norm but significantly smaller than the citywide average of 6,570 sqft, which reflects the denser, older character of this part of Winnipeg. The home’s age is a defining trait: built in 1900, it’s older than most homes on its street (average 1906) and far older than the citywide average of 1966.
The appeal here is for buyers who want generous indoor square footage relative to cost, in a central neighbourhood with older character homes, and who are comfortable with a property that may need maintenance or updates typical of a 124-year-old building. It would particularly suit someone looking for more space than a typical starter home but without the price tag of newer suburban construction. That said, the smaller lot and older construction mean it may not suit buyers seeking a large yard or a move-in-ready modern property without further investment. The value proposition is strongest for those who prioritize interior space and location over land size and a newer build.
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $356,000 is well above the Balmoral Street average of $263,600 and the West Broadway average of $295,400, placing it in the top 16% and 20% respectively. However, it sits around the middle citywide, where comparable homes average $390,100. This suggests the property is priced high for its immediate area but is more competitively valued relative to the broader Winnipeg market.
2. Is a 1900-built home a red flag for condition?
Not necessarily, but it does require a different mindset. Homes from this era often have solid framing and older materials that can last well if maintained. The key is to look beyond age alone—focus on the condition of the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and windows. Many older homes in West Broadway have been updated in stages, so a thorough inspection is worth the investment. The ranking shows this home is older than 78% of homes on its street and 99% citywide, so it’s genuinely an old building, not just old for its area.
3. Why is the land area below the city average but average for the neighbourhood?
This is typical of older central neighbourhoods. Citywide averages include newer suburban lots that are often much larger (6,570 sqft on average). In West Broadway and along Balmoral Street, lots were subdivided more densely in the early 1900s, so 3,882 sqft is standard for the area. It means less yard space but also a more walkable, compact urban setting.
4. What type of buyer is this property not a good fit for?
It likely wouldn't suit someone looking for a large backyard, a recently built home with low maintenance, or a property with a low assessed value relative to street peers. First-time buyers on a tight budget might also find the older construction and potential upkeep costs challenging. It’s more appropriate for someone who values interior space and central location over a newer, turnkey property.
5. How does the living area ranking work, and why does it vary so much by scope?
The property ranks in the top 13% citywide for living area (meaning it’s larger than 87% of comparable homes in Winnipeg) but only top 57% on its own street and neighbourhood. This happens because Balmoral Street and West Broadway have many homes with above-average square footage, so the competition is stiffer locally. Citywide, the average home is much smaller (1,342 sqft), which makes this home stand out more. In short: it’s a spacious home for Winnipeg, but not unusually large for its immediate block.
