1387 Logan Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer

This 1,348 sqft home on Logan Avenue in Weston stands out most for its size and lot. It’s larger than 93% of homes on the same street and 93% of homes in the wider neighbourhood, where average living areas sit around 938 sqft and 936 sqft respectively. The land is also generous: a 4,292 sqft lot beats 85% of street-level and 84% of neighbourhood properties. The assessed value of $248,000 reflects this space advantage within the local market—ranking in the top 17% on the street and top 11% in the area.

The house itself was built in 1946, which is older than most citywide stock but on par or slightly newer than many homes in Weston itself. While the living area and lot size are strong locally, they drop to around average when compared across Winnipeg, where city medians are slightly smaller in living space but much larger in land (avg 6,570 sqft). The assessed value also falls well below the city average of $390,100, landing in the bottom 17% citywide.

The appeal here is practical: you get a home that’s roomy for its street and neighbourhood without paying a premium that matches citywide averages. This would suit a buyer who values interior space and a solid lot size in an established inner-city area, and who isn’t fazed by a mid-century build that may need updates. It’s less suited to someone looking for a newer home or a large suburban lot.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living space actually feel compared to other homes nearby?
It’s significantly larger than most homes on Logan Avenue and in Weston. If you’ve looked at other properties in the area, many will feel noticeably tighter—this one offers nearly 50% more floor area than the typical home on the street.

2. Is the assessed value a realistic guide to market price?
Assessed value is a baseline, not a guarantee. The $248,000 figure is higher than most of its neighbours, which suggests the city recognizes its size advantage. But sale prices depend on condition, upgrades, and market demand. It’s worth comparing with recent sales on Logan and nearby streets.

3. The house was built in 1946. What should I be aware of?
A 1946 build likely means original construction methods and materials. You might encounter knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, or an older foundation. That said, the year is around average for Weston, so many homes in the area share similar quirks. A thorough inspection is essential.

4. How does the lot size affect usability or future options?
At 4,292 sqft, the lot is bigger than most in the immediate area but smaller than typical citywide lots. It offers room for a decent backyard or garden without the maintenance of a large suburban property. It may also provide more flexibility for additions—but check zoning restrictions first.

5. Why is the citywide ranking for assessed value so low if the house is above average locally?
Assessed value compares the home to all similar properties across Winnipeg. The citywide average is $390,100, which includes newer, larger homes in higher-value neighbourhoods. Locally, the home is well-regarded, but it doesn’t compete with the broader market in terms of price, age, or land size.
