Highlights & common questions: 1228 Cottonwood Road, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

1228 Cottonwood Road is a 1965-built home with roughly 1,078 square feet of living space on a 6,251-square-foot lot. Its strongest asset is the land: the lot is above average for its street, the Windsor Park neighbourhood, and the city as a whole. The assessed value—just under $400,000—also ranks well above average locally, sitting in the top 10% of the neighbourhood and top 13% on the street. The home itself is solidly mid-range in size, close to the average for both the street and neighbourhood, but slightly below the citywide average.

The appeal here is not flashy square footage or a brand-new build, but a well-located, established property with a generous yard in a stable neighbourhood. Windsor Park is a mature area with good access to amenities, and lots of this size are becoming harder to come by. The home’s age (1965) is typical for the area, meaning it's likely built to the solid standards of that era, but a buyer should be prepared for systems and finishes that may need updating.

This property would suit a buyer who values outdoor space and a strong neighbourhood over interior size or a modern look. It's a practical fit for a small family, a couple looking for a garden, or someone willing to invest in renovations over time. It’s less suited to someone wanting a move-in-ready, open-concept home with minimal upkeep.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the size of this home compare to others nearby?
The living area is very close to the average for both Cottonwood Road (around 1,093 sqft) and Windsor Park (around 1,091 sqft), placing it in the middle of the pack. It is smaller than the citywide average of 1,342 sqft, which is typical for older, established neighbourhoods.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value mean for property taxes?
A higher assessed value generally means higher property taxes. This home ranks in the top 13% on its street and top 10% in the neighbourhood for assessed value, so you can expect taxes to be somewhat above the local norm. It's a trade-off for the larger lot and desirable location.

3. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. At 6,251 sqft, the lot is above average on the street, in the neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. In a city where average lot sizes have been shrinking, a property this size offers room for gardens, playsets, or even a future addition, subject to zoning.

4. The home was built in 1965—what should I look out for?
Homes from that era often have good bones but may have original plumbing, electrical, windows, and insulation. The fact that it’s newer than many homes on the street and in the neighbourhood is a minor plus, but you’ll still want a home inspection to check for knob-and-tube wiring, lead pipes, or asbestos in older flooring and insulation.

5. Who typically buys in the Windsor Park area?
Windsor Park tends to attract a mix of long-term residents and younger families looking for more affordable, detached homes with yards. It's a neighbourhood that sees steady demand due to its central location and established schools, but homes here often require some updating, which can filter out buyers looking for a completely turnkey property.
