Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This property at 14 Vincent Massey Boulevard is a 1,040-square-foot home built in 1960, sitting on a 6,085-square-foot lot in Winnipeg's Windsor Park neighbourhood. The assessed value is $349,000.

Its main appeal lies in the land. The lot is above average for the street (top 24%), the neighbourhood (top 35%), and the city (top 29%). In a market where outdoor space and room for expansion or gardening are increasingly valued, this is a tangible asset. The living area itself is above average for the street (top 22%) but sits closer to the middle of the pack citywide, meaning the house is not oversized for its plot.

The home is best suited for buyers who want more yard than what’s typical—whether for kids, a workshop, or future addition possibilities—and who are willing to accept a property that’s solidly average in other respects. It’s not a showpiece. It’s a practical, mid-century house on a generous lot in a stable, established neighbourhood. First-time buyers looking for room to grow, or smaller families wanting space without a premium price tag, would likely find it a good fit.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $349,000 is around average for Vincent Massey Boulevard (ranked #34 of 68) and slightly below the neighbourhood average of $354,200. It is noticeably below the citywide average of $390,100 for comparable homes. This suggests the property is priced competitively relative to broader market benchmarks.

2. Is the living area considered spacious for this street?
Yes. At 1,040 square feet, the living area ranks in the top 22% of homes on Vincent Massey Boulevard, where the average is 1,035 square feet. It matches the neighbourhood average closely but is about 300 square feet smaller than the citywide average for comparable properties.

3. What does the “rank” and bar visualization mean on the data sheet?
The rank compares this property to other similar homes at three levels: street, neighbourhood, and citywide. A lower rank number means a better standing (e.g., #16 of 68 is top 24%). The bar shows how much you outperform the median—filled length represents how many comparable homes you beat, and the colour gradient (red to yellow to blue) visually indicates performance from poor to excellent.

4. How does the lot size compare to newer homes in Winnipeg?
At 6,085 square feet, this lot is above average citywide (top 29%), which is notable because many newer subdivisions feature smaller lots. The average lot for comparable homes across Winnipeg is 6,570 square feet, so while not enormous, this is a genuinely larger-than-usual piece of land for the price point.

5. What does “around average” really mean for year built and condition?
The home was built in 1960, which is very close to the street and neighbourhood averages (both 1961). This suggests consistency in construction era and likely similar maintenance needs. While not new, a 1960s build in this area typically means mature trees, solid foundations, and simpler systems—but buyers should plan for updates to windows, insulation, or mechanicals depending on how well it has been maintained.
