1520 William Avenue W – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile

This is a 903 sqft home built in 1952, situated on a 5,239 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Weston neighbourhood. What stands out most is the land. The lot is significantly larger than typical homes on the same street (top 14%) and ranks in the top 4% for the entire Weston area. That’s the property’s strongest asset—not the house itself, but the space around it.

The assessed value sits at $239,000, which is above average for both the street and the neighbourhood, but below the Winnipeg citywide average. That gap reflects the trade-off: you’re paying a premium for a large lot in an older, established area, not for a newly built home.

The living area is about average for Weston, slightly below the citywide norm. The year built (1952) is older than most homes across Winnipeg, but consistent with the character of the street and neighbourhood.

Who this suits: Buyers looking for a home with room to expand, renovate, or simply enjoy a generous yard in a well-established part of the city. It’s less suited to someone wanting a move-in-ready, modern interior or a compact, low-maintenance lot. The appeal is in the potential, not the polish.


Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Weston?
    It’s one of the larger lots in the area, ranking in the top 4% of all homes in the neighbourhood. The average lot in Weston is about 3,269 sqft, so this property offers roughly 60% more land than most nearby homes.

  2. Is the assessed value a good indication of market price?
    The assessed value is $239,000, which is above the street and neighbourhood averages but below the citywide average of $390,100. Assessment and market value aren’t always the same, but this suggests the home is priced competitively within its immediate context, not overvalued for the area.

  3. What’s the condition of a 1952 home likely to be?
    The summary doesn’t include condition details, but homes from this era often have solid construction and good bones. You’d want a home inspection to check for updates to electrical, plumbing, windows, and insulation. The upside is that older homes in Weston typically have more character and mature landscaping than newer builds.

  4. Why is the citywide ranking for living area so low when it’s average locally?
    Because the citywide average includes newer, larger homes across Winnipeg. This property’s 903 sqft is typical for Weston (top 50% in the neighbourhood), but citywide it falls in the bottom 83%. That’s not unusual for an older urban neighbourhood—it just means the home is modest by modern suburban standards.

  5. Could this property be a good candidate for an addition or redevelopment?
    Possibly. The large lot (5,239 sqft) gives you more flexibility than most homes in the area. However, any plans would need to check local zoning, setback rules, and whether there are any heritage or density restrictions. The fact that the lot is bigger than average on the street and in the neighbourhood makes it worth exploring, especially if you’re looking at an extension or a secondary suite.
