1640 Logan Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,070 sqft home, built in 1945, sits on a 3,970 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Weston neighbourhood. Its standout feature is the land: the lot is well above neighborhood average size, ranking in the top 26% locally. The building itself has above-average living space compared to nearby homes (top 19% on the street, top 25% in the area), which suggests more interior room than typical for the price point.

Assessed value sits near the median for the street and neighbourhood, but well below the citywide average—this isn't surprising given the older build and more modest finish level compared to newer suburban construction. The home is older than most in the city, but not unusually so for Weston, where many houses date from the 1930s and 1940s.

Where the appeal lies: The main draw here is the combination of a generous lot with a relatively roomy floor plan in an established, older neighbourhood. Buyers get more land and interior square footage than most nearby options, without paying a premium. The assessed value is right in line with the local market, meaning no obvious overpricing or hidden tax surprises.

Who it suits: This property would work well for someone who values space—both indoors and outdoors—over modern finishes or a newer build. A buyer looking to put some sweat equity into a house with good bones, or someone who wants a solid lot in a mature area with reasonable property taxes, would find this a practical fit. It's less suitable for anyone seeking a turnkey, contemporary home or a property that tracks with citywide averages in value or age.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the property's assessed value compare to others on the street?
It's around average. The assessed value is $163k, while the average for comparable homes on Logan Avenue is $187.8k. This places it at #113 out of 219 homes on the street—right in the middle of the pack. Within the Weston neighbourhood, it's also near average, ranking #1,044 out of 1,736. Citywide, the value is well below average, which is typical for an older home in this part of the city.

2. Is the lot size considered large for the area?
Yes, especially for the neighbourhood. The lot is 3,970 sqft, which ranks in the top 26% in Weston (where the average is 3,269 sqft). On the street itself, it's still above average but not as striking—ranking #94 out of 219 homes, with a street average of 3,664 sqft. Citywide, it's below average, as many suburban lots are significantly larger.

3. What's the deal with the year built—is 1945 a concern?
It's typical for the area. The house was built in 1945, which is around average for Logan Avenue (where the median build year is 1949) and slightly newer than the Weston neighbourhood average of 1937. Citywide, it's older than about 78% of homes, so it's not a red flag—just an honest reflection of this part of town. Buyers should budget for older-home maintenance like updated wiring, plumbing, or insulation, but that's expected in any pre-war house.

4. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
Favourably. The 1,070 sqft living area is above average both on the street (average 938 sqft) and in the neighbourhood (average 936 sqft). It ranks in the top 19% on Logan Avenue and top 25% in Weston. Citywide, it's slightly below the 1,342 sqft average, but that's partly because newer suburban homes tend to be larger. For the immediate area, this is a roomier-than-usual unit.

5. Is there a neighborhood map or comparison tool available?
Yes. There's a neighborhood analysis page that shows this property on a map next to nearby houses. It allows you to compare year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size in detail. That can be helpful for getting a real sense of how this home fits into the block and the broader Weston area.
