659 Burrows Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1915-built home with 872 square feet of living space on a 3,004-square-foot lot, currently assessed at $126,000. The property sits in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood.
What stands out: The living area is notably compact—well below street, neighbourhood, and city averages. This isn't a house for someone looking for generous interior space. What the property lacks in square footage, it partly makes up for in land area, which is close to the neighbourhood average (3,004 sqft vs. 3,277 sqft). The assessed value is significantly below the street average ($126k vs. $227k), but sits near the neighbourhood average—suggesting the street itself may have a wider range of property values, while the immediate area is more consistent.
The appeal is largely for:
- Buyers who prioritize a smaller, manageable footprint and are less concerned with interior size. The home would suit someone looking for an entry-level property in a central Winnipeg neighbourhood, or an investor focused on a lower-cost acquisition where the land-to-building ratio is reasonable.
- Those comfortable with an older home (built 1915) who understand the maintenance realities of a century property. The year built is actually better than the neighbourhood average (1927), meaning it's not unusually old for the area.
- Buyers who value location over square footage—William Whyte offers proximity to downtown and the North End, and the lower assessed value relative to the city may mean lower property taxes.
It would not suit someone needing above-average interior space, a newer or move-in-ready home without renovation needs, or a buyer looking for quick resale potential based on size metrics alone.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the property's size compare to other homes nearby?
The living area (872 sqft) ranks in the bottom 22% on the street and bottom 25% in the neighbourhood. It's a compact home by any local standard. The lot size (3,004 sqft) is closer to typical for the area, ranking in the middle (55th percentile on the street, 59th in the neighbourhood).
2. Is the assessed value low because the home is in poor condition?
Not necessarily—assessed value reflects market conditions, size, age, and condition, but it doesn't directly indicate a fixer-upper. The $126k figure is far below the street average of $227k, but that may be due to the small living area and older construction rather than neglect. A home inspection would clarify condition.
3. What does "Top 78%" or "Top 75%" actually mean for ranking?
These rankings show how the property compares to similar homes in that area. "Top 78%" on the street means it ranks 531st out of 682 homes—so 78% of homes on Burrows Avenue have more living space. It's a way to see that this is a smaller home relative to its neighbours.
4. How old is this home compared to others in the neighbourhood?
Built in 1915, it's actually slightly newer than the neighbourhood average of 1927. While it's old by citywide standards (94% of Winnipeg homes are newer), it's not unusually old for William Whyte, where the majority of homes were built between 1910 and 1940.
5. Should I be concerned that the property ranks "Below Average" in most categories?
"Below average" doesn't mean bad—it means the home is smaller, older, or lower-valued than the typical comparable property. For a buyer who values affordability, lower taxes, or a smaller footprint, these rankings may actually be positives. The citywide rankings (Top 86–99% across categories) mostly reflect that Winnipeg has many newer, larger homes, not that this one is unusual in a negative way.
