Highlights & common questions: 1598 Ross Avenue W, Winnipeg

Here is a summary of the property at 1598 Ross Avenue W.


Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a small, older house in Winnipeg’s Weston neighborhood with a modest footprint and a low assessed value. It sits on a lot that is slightly smaller than the street average (2,598 sqft), and the living area of 928 sqft is right in line with the neighborhood norm, though noticeably below the citywide average of 1,342 sqft.

The property’s main appeal is its affordability and its position within an established, older street. The assessed value of $151,000 is well below both the street and neighborhood averages, making it one of the more budget-friendly options in this area. The year built (1895) places it among the oldest homes on the block—ranked in the bottom 4% locally and bottom 1% in the neighborhood—meaning a buyer should expect an older home with its accompanying character and quirks, not modern construction.

This property would best suit a buyer looking for a low-cost entry into homeownership or an investor interested in a property with significant value-add potential. It is not for someone seeking a turnkey, modern home or a large family lot. A buyer here should be comfortable with an older house in a denser, inner-city setting, and should budget for potential updates to systems and finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How does the living space compare to other homes in Weston?
    It’s right around the neighborhood average. The home’s 928 sqft is very close to the average of 936 sqft for comparable homes in the area. It ranks in the top 46%, which means it’s a fairly typical size for the neighborhood, though it is smaller than the average Winnipeg home.

  2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city average?
    Primarily because of its size, age, and lot dimensions. The home is smaller than the typical citywide property (928 sqft vs. 1,342 sqft), sits on a smaller lot (2,598 sqft vs. 6,570 sqft), and is nearly a century older than the average city home. These three factors heavily depress the assessed value compared to a newer, larger suburban property.

  3. What should I know about buying a home built in 1895?
    This is a very old home, even by local standards. You should factor in that systems like electrical, plumbing, and the foundation may not be original but could be outdated. Insulation and energy efficiency will likely be far below modern standards. A thorough home inspection is essential, and it’s wise to budget for major repairs that come with a property this age.

  4. Is the lot considered small for the area?
    Yes, though not extremely so. The 2,598 sqft lot is smaller than the street average of 3,468 sqft and the neighborhood average of 3,269 sqft. It ranks in the top 60% on the street, meaning it’s on the smaller side but still within the typical range for Ross Avenue.

  5. How does this property rank against others in Winnipeg as a whole?
    It ranks very low citywide in terms of value and size. For assessed value, it is in the bottom 3% of all comparable homes in Winnipeg. For living area and land area, it is in the bottom 19% and bottom 7%, respectively. This confirms it is a budget-oriented, small-lot property relative to the broader market.
