680 Burrows Avenue – Property Summary

1. Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 792 sqft home built in 1913, sitting on a 2,463 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $158,000. The property is notably compact compared to citywide averages—both in living area and land size—ranking in the bottom 10-20% on those metrics across Winnipeg. However, its assessed value is actually around average for the neighbourhood, and slightly above the street average. In other words, you’re getting a lower-than-average house (by square footage and lot) without a corresponding discount on assessment relative to nearby homes.

The appeal here is pragmatic. The house is small and old, but it’s priced in a way that aligns with its immediate surroundings rather than being artificially low. For a buyer, this isn’t a “steal” by citywide standards—it’s a fairly priced entry point into an older, denser part of the city. The home suits a buyer who prioritizes location or affordability over space, and who is comfortable with a smaller footprint and older construction. It may also appeal to someone looking for a project or a property where the land value (though small by city standards) holds more weight than the structure itself. The William Whyte area has older housing stock and a mix of incomes, so this isn’t a polished first-home suburb—it’s a more urban, modest, and potentially character-rich setting.

2. Frequently Asked Questions

How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
The home is 792 sqft, which is below average on its street (average 1,116 sqft) and in the neighbourhood (average 1,158 sqft). It ranks in the bottom 12% on its street and bottom 17% in the area for living space. Citywide, it’s in the bottom 9%.

Is the assessed value reasonable for this property?
At $158,000, it’s roughly average for the street and slightly above average for William Whyte (neighbourhood average $149,100). Citywide, it’s well below average ($390,100), which reflects the neighbourhood’s lower property values. The assessment appears in line with local comparables.

What’s the lot size, and is that typical for the area?
The land area is 2,463 sqft, which is below average for the street (3,497 sqft) and neighbourhood (3,277 sqft). It ranks in the bottom 16% on its street and bottom 9% in the area. Citywide, it’s in the bottom 3%—so it’s a genuinely small lot.

How old is the house, and is that common in the neighbourhood?
Built in 1913, this is an older home, but not unusually so for William Whyte (neighbourhood average year built is 1927). It’s older than most homes on its street (average 1944) and much older than the citywide average (1966). Older construction may come with maintenance considerations but also potential character features.

Who would this property be a good fit for?
It works well for a buyer seeking an affordable entry into an established urban neighbourhood, someone comfortable with a smaller home and yard, or an investor interested in a property where the structure is modest but the location offers potential. It’s less suited to anyone needing generous living space or a large lot, or those wanting a newer, low-maintenance home.
