1226 Cottonwood Road – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,186-square-foot home built in 1965 sits on a 5,775-square-foot lot in Windsor Park. What stands out is its assessed value: $410,000, which ranks in the top 6% on the street and within the neighbourhood. The house is slightly above average in size compared to nearby homes on Cottonwood Road and in Windsor Park, but falls right around the citywide median for living area. The lot is a touch smaller than the street average, though not unusually so for the neighbourhood.

The appeal here is less about square footage or land size and more about value perception. The assessed value suggests a home that has held or gained ground relative to its immediate surroundings, which could signal underlying desirability—whether that’s condition, updates, or location within the street. Homes in this price range on this street tend to come in around $361,500, so this one sits noticeably above that benchmark.

This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes solid, well-positioned housing over a large yard or maximum interior space. It’s a good match for someone who wants a home that already reflects higher value in its immediate context—perhaps a buyer who values stability of resale or is looking for a home that doesn’t need major value-boosting upgrades to compete in the neighbourhood. It may be less appealing to buyers seeking a large lot or a home that stands out citywide for size or newness.


Five Frequently Asked Questions

How does the assessed value compare to similar homes on the street?
It ranks 2nd out of 31 homes on Cottonwood Road—top 6%. The average assessed value on the street is $361,500, so this home is about $48,500 above that. In the wider Windsor Park area, it also ranks in the top 6%.

Is the house small for its price point?
Not in the neighbourhood context. At 1,186 square feet, it’s above both the street average (1,093 sqft) and the neighbourhood average (1,091 sqft). Citywide, it’s close to the median, so it’s not unusually small—just not oversized.

Why is the lot ranked lower than the other metrics?
The lot is 5,775 square feet, which is just below the street average of 5,849 sqft and the neighbourhood average of 6,030 sqft. It ranks 26th out of 31 on the street, meaning most nearby homes have slightly more land. For the neighbourhood overall, it’s about average.

What does the year built tell me about the home’s condition?
The home was built in 1965, which is slightly older than the citywide average for comparable homes (1966) but newer than the neighbourhood average (1961). On the street itself, it’s one of the newer homes (top 6%). The age alone doesn’t indicate condition, but it suggests the home was built during a stable construction period in an established area.

How does this property compare to others in the neighbourhood analysis map?
The property detail page includes a neighbourhood map that lets you compare living area, year built, assessed value, and lot size with nearby homes. That map is the best way to see how this house fits into the immediate street context—especially useful for understanding whether the higher assessed value reflects a recent renovation or just a strong location.
