1-1349 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a newer home in an older neighbourhood. Built in 2018, it ranks in the top 5% city-wide for year built, placing it well ahead of the average Winnipeg home (circa 1966) and far beyond most homes on Notre Dame Avenue itself (average 1951). The assessed value of $291,000 is around average for the street, but stands out sharply at the neighbourhood level—ranking in the top 4% for Weston, where the average assessment is just $184,700. In other words, this property is significantly more valuable than most of its immediate surroundings.

Living area is 985 square feet, which is modest by city-wide standards (average 1,342 sqft) but sits close to the street average and above the neighbourhood average of 936 sqft. The land area of 3,018 sqft is below average across all three scopes—particularly on the street, where lots tend to be larger.

Where the appeal lies: The property offers the reliability of a very new build in a neighbourhood dominated by much older housing stock. Buyers get modern construction standards, likely better energy efficiency, and lower immediate maintenance risk. At the same time, the assessed value—while high for Weston—remains below the city-wide average, suggesting relative affordability compared to newer homes elsewhere. The trade-off is a smaller lot and a living area that won't compete with suburban new builds.

Who it would suit: First-time buyers who want a move-in-ready home without the premium of a brand-new suburban development. Also, buyers who value being in a more established, central neighbourhood (Weston) but want a house that doesn't require immediate renovations. Less suited to those looking for large indoor or outdoor space, or for those seeking a property with strong land value appreciation potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this property compare to other homes on Notre Dame Avenue?
It's newer than nearly every house on the street (top 5%) and has an assessed value right around the street average. Living area is slightly below the street average of 1,108 sqft, and the lot is notably smaller—ranking in the bottom 13%. So it's an outlier in age, but fairly typical in value for the street.

2. Is a below-average land area a concern?
It depends on your priorities. A smaller lot means less yard maintenance and a lower purchase price relative to larger properties nearby. However, it also limits future expansion, outdoor living space, and resale appeal to buyers who prioritize land. In a neighbourhood where lots average over 4,000 sqft, this property stands out for its compact footprint.

3. Why is the assessed value so high for the neighbourhood but below average city-wide?
Weston's average assessed value is low ($184,700), largely because the area has older, smaller, and more modest homes. This house is much newer and was likely assessed at a higher replacement cost. Meanwhile, the city-wide average of $390,100 includes many higher-value neighbourhoods with larger homes and lots. So the property is a top-tier asset in its immediate area but still mid-range across Winnipeg as a whole.

4. How reliable are the ranking and average figures shown?
The data uses approximate medians and percentiles for "comparable homes" in each scope. The rankings give a useful snapshot of where this property sits relative to peers, but they're not exact percentiles. The "average" figures are rough benchmarks, not precise medians. They're best used as directional guidance rather than hard facts.

5. What should I look at on the neighbourhood map?
The map lets you compare this property to nearby homes on year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size side-by-side. Pay special attention to how surrounding properties differ in age and lot size—this will clarify whether the house is truly an anomaly on the street or part of a small cluster of newer builds.
