1622 Elgin Avenue W – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a compact, older home in Winnipeg’s Weston neighbourhood, with a living area of 728 square feet and a land area of 2,601 square feet. Built in 1911, it falls within the older stock of properties citywide—ranking in the bottom 7% by year built—but is fairly typical for its street and neighbourhood in terms of age. Its assessed value of $181,000 sits close to the street and area averages, offering a price point well below the citywide median.

The property’s appeal lies primarily in affordability and a modest footprint. For buyers who prioritize lower entry costs over space, or who are willing to take on a renovation project, this home offers a chance to enter a well-established inner-ring neighbourhood without the premium attached to larger, newer homes. The lot, while below average for the street (2,601 sqft vs. 3,608 sqft average), is still functional and in line with many nearby properties.

This would suit first-time buyers with a realistic budget, investors looking for a smaller rental or flip in a stable area, or anyone who values location over square footage. It’s less suited to families needing extensive indoor space or buyers seeking a turnkey, modern home without updates. The below-average living area (bottom 5% citywide) is a clear trade-off—but for the right person, that trade-off brings a lower price and a manageable property.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $181,000 is slightly below the street average of $189,600 and the neighbourhood average of $184,700. This makes it one of the more affordable options in the immediate area, though not drastically so—it’s around the middle of the pack for Elgin Avenue W.

2. Is the living area unusually small for the neighbourhood?
Yes, but it’s not extreme. At 728 sqft, the home is smaller than the street average (1,113 sqft) and the neighbourhood average (936 sqft). It ranks in the bottom 18% on the street, but within Weston it’s closer to the middle—just below the neighbourhood median. Citywide, it’s very small.

3. What condition should I expect from a house built in 1911?
That depends on renovation history, which isn’t shown in this data. A 1911 build is over 110 years old, so buyers should anticipate older mechanicals, possible knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, and foundation or roof wear unless upgrades have been documented. A thorough inspection is strongly recommended.

4. Is the lot size a limitation for additions or a garage?
The land area is 2,601 sqft, which is below the street average but around average for Weston. It’s large enough for a small detached garage or a modest addition, but it won’t accommodate a large yard or major expansion without careful planning. Check local zoning setbacks before assuming.

5. How does this property compare to others in Weston overall?
It’s a fairly typical house for the neighbourhood in terms of value and lot size, but notably smaller inside than most. Its assessed value ranks in the top half of Weston, while its living area is in the bottom quarter. This combination—modest cost for a smaller home—is common in older, more affordable parts of the area.
