1494 Ross Avenue W – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,416-square-foot home built in 1910, sitting on a 2,168-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Weston neighbourhood. The property’s main draw is its interior space: at 1,416 square feet, it ranks in the top 11% on its street and the top 5% of the neighbourhood, where the average home is around 936 square feet. That means significantly more room than most houses nearby—a genuine advantage for someone who needs extra square footage but wants to stay in this part of the city.

The trade-off is the land. The lot is the smallest on the street (ranked last of 380) and well below neighbourhood and city averages. If yard space, gardening, or expansion potential matter, this property will feel tight. The assessed value of $225,000 sits slightly above the street and neighbourhood averages, which suggests the larger home is priced accordingly, but remains well below the citywide median of $390,000—keeping it accessible from a price standpoint.

The year built (1910) puts it among the older homes in an already older neighbourhood. Buyers should expect the maintenance and character that come with a century-old house: solid bones likely, but potential for dated systems, lead paint, or foundation quirks. This is not a move-in-ready modern flip.

Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize indoor living space over outdoor space, are comfortable with an older home’s upkeep, and want a property that stands out in size within a modest, established neighbourhood. It could work well for a small family, a couple needing a home office or extra room, or someone looking for a fixer-upper with good bones in a location that still offers relative affordability compared to citywide averages.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in the area?
It’s the smallest lot on Ross Avenue West—2,168 square feet versus the street average of 3,468. In the wider Weston neighbourhood, it’s in the bottom 6%. If you value a large yard, this is a clear limitation.

2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of market price?
Assessed value ($225,000) is a starting point, not a guarantee. It’s above the street and neighbourhood averages but far below the citywide median. Market price will depend on condition, updates, and competition, but the assessment suggests it’s priced within reach for this area.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1910?
Older homes often have sturdy framing and unique details, but expect aging electrical, plumbing, insulation, and possibly a foundation that needs attention. A thorough inspection by someone experienced with pre-1920s construction is essential. Renovations may also need to account for historical building codes.

4. How does this property compare to newer homes in the city?
It’s larger inside than many newer homes in its price range (1,416 sqft vs. 1,342 citywide average), but the lot is roughly a third the size of a typical Winnipeg lot. You’re trading land for indoor space, which is unusual in the market and worth weighing carefully.

5. Who is this home not a good fit for?
Anyone wanting a large yard, a low-maintenance newer build, or a property with potential for future additions or landscaping. Also not ideal for buyers who need a basement suite or significant outdoor living area—the small lot limits those options.
