1294 Alexander Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1909-built home with 1,152 square feet of living space on a 2,499-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $147,000.

Where this property stands out is in its living area. It’s larger than most homes on Alexander Avenue (top 24%) and significantly bigger than the average in the Weston neighborhood (top 16%), where typical homes are around 936 square feet. Citywide, it sits near the middle of the pack. So if interior space matters more to you than lot size or a newer build, this home delivers relative to its immediate surroundings.

The trade-offs are clear. The assessed value is low—around average for the street, but well below both the neighborhood and city medians. The lot is on the smaller side, especially compared to citywide averages. And the year built (1909) is older than most homes on the street, in the neighborhood, and across Winnipeg. That’s not a red flag by itself, but it does mean the house may need more ongoing maintenance or updates than a mid-century or newer property.

This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes indoor square footage in an older, established part of the city and is comfortable with a compact lot. It may be a good fit for someone looking for a starter home, a downsizer who wants single-floor living (the listing doesn't mention upper floors, but the living area is reasonable for a bungalow or similar), or an investor who sees value in a home that's priced below the neighborhood average despite having above-average interior space. The low assessed value relative to the living area could also appeal to buyers who want lower property taxes without sacrificing room inside.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others on Alexander Avenue?
It has above-average living space (1,152 sqft vs. the street average of 1,015 sqft) and an assessed value that's about in line with the street median. It's older than most homes on the block and sits on a lot that's slightly smaller than the street average.

2. Is the low assessed value a sign of problems with the property?
Not necessarily. Assessed value is based on factors like location, age, condition, and recent sales of comparable homes. A low value can mean the home needs updating, or it could simply reflect that this part of Weston has more affordable housing stock. It doesn’t automatically signal major issues—but a buyer should still do a home inspection to understand the property’s actual condition.

3. Why is the lot size so much smaller than the citywide average?
This is typical for older, inner-city neighborhoods. Many homes in Weston were built on narrower lots compared to newer suburban developments. The citywide average of 6,570 sqft includes large suburban lots that aren't comparable. The lot here is actually typical for this street and fairly common for the area.

4. What should I expect from a home built in 1909?
Expect some character features (thicker walls, possibly original trim or hardwood), but also expect older systems—wiring, plumbing, insulation, and the roof may have been updated at some point, or they may need attention. A 1909 home often has a solid foundation, but it's worth checking for knob-and-tube wiring, lead pipes, and asbestos in older insulation or flooring.

5. Does the "neighbourhood analysis" map show nearby homes for comparison?
Yes. The full neighbourhood analysis page (linked from the property detail) shows this home on a map alongside nearby properties, with side-by-side comparisons of year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. That's useful for seeing how this house fits into the block and the wider Weston area.
