Key Characteristics & Who It’s For

This is a 1,540 sqft home on a 6,249 sqft lot, built in 1963, located in Winnipeg’s Windsor Park neighbourhood. On its own street, Penticton Bay, it ranks in the top 11% for living space and top 11% for newer construction, with a lot size slightly above the street average. The assessed value of $380,000 sits in the top quartile locally, though it’s close to the citywide average.

The appeal lies in its combination of generous indoor and outdoor space relative to what’s typical in both the immediate street and the wider neighbourhood. In Windsor Park, it falls in the top 3% for living area—a notable distinction that suggests this home offers more room than most nearby properties. At the same time, the assessed value remains within a reasonable range, so buyers aren’t paying a premium solely for the square footage.

This property suits buyers who want a home with above-average living space in an established, mid-century neighbourhood without stepping into the higher price brackets of newer developments. It would work well for someone who values square footage and lot size over a fully renovated interior—or who sees potential to update a structurally solid 1960s home. Because the lot is generous and the home’s size stands out locally, it could also appeal to those who plan to add to the property or need room for a growing family.

Possible FAQs

1. How does the property compare to others on the same street?
It ranks 6th out of 57 homes on Penticton Bay for living area, meaning it’s larger than roughly 90% of houses on the street. The lot is also above average, though less dramatically so. The assessed value is slightly above the street average, but not dramatically higher than what similar-sized homes on the block are worth.

2. Is the home in a flood zone or a high-risk area?
The data provided doesn’t include flood or hazard information. Windsor Park is generally a stable, low-lying residential area near the Red River, so it’s worth checking flood zone maps and talking to neighbours or the city about local history. The current assessment data doesn’t flag any risk.

3. What’s the condition of the home, and does it need renovations?
The summary only covers size, lot, age, and assessed value—not condition or interior finishes. Built in 1963, the home is likely original or partially updated. Buyers should expect typical mid-century maintenance and plan for a home inspection to clarify what’s been done and what may need attention.

4. Why is the assessed value so close to the city average while the size is in the top 3% locally?
Assessed value reflects market conditions, location, and the home’s overall condition, not just square footage. In this case, the home is larger than most in Windsor Park and on its street, but the area’s overall price levels are moderate compared to some other Winnipeg neighbourhoods. That keeps the assessed figure near the city norm, even though the space itself is well above average.

5. Does the property back onto a park, or is it on a busy street?
The detail page doesn’t mention location within the street or surroundings. Penticton Bay is a short, residential cul-de-sac-like street in Windsor Park. Given the lot size and street type, the home likely has a standard suburban lot with neighbours on either side. A site visit or map check will confirm any green space or traffic concerns.
