Property Overview: 27 Conifer Crescent

Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile

This is a 1,100 sqft home built in 1956 on a notably large 6,300 sqft lot. The lot size is the property’s standout feature, ranking in the top 10% on its street and top 25% citywide. Living space is above average for the immediate street (top 15%) but sits right at the neighborhood average, which suggests the interior is practical rather than expansive. The assessed value of $336,000 runs below both the street and neighborhood averages—think of it as a lower price point relative to immediate neighbors, though it’s close to the citywide median.

Where the appeal lies: the combination of a generous lot and a below-average assessed value on the street means you’re getting more land for less upfront cost compared to nearby houses. That’s not common in Windsor Park. The trade-off is an older build (1956), which places it slightly older than the neighborhood average and significantly older than the citywide norm. This property suits buyers who value outdoor space, garden potential, or future expansion possibilities more than a turnkey modern interior. It’s a strong fit for someone willing to invest in renovations or updates over time—this is a shell with good bones and a great yard, not a polished finish.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value lower than others on the street if the lot is larger?
Assessed value weighs both land and improvements (the house itself). A larger lot can be offset by an older or smaller home. Here, the house was built in 1956 and is modest in size, so the total assessment ends up below the street average despite the lot being in the top 10%. It’s typical for older homes on premium lots to carry a lower valuation than newer or larger houses nearby.

2. Does “top 10% lot” mean the yard is unusually big for the area?
Yes, but with context. The lot is 6,300 sqft versus the street average of 6,016 sqft—so it’s bigger, but not dramatically. What pushes it into the top 10% is that many nearby lots are smaller or more uniform. If you want a garden, a workshop, or room for kids to play, this lot gives you noticeably more flexibility than a typical Windsor Park property.

3. How much work should I expect with a 1956 home?
No specifics are given about the interior condition, but homes of this vintage often have original mechanicals, single-pane windows, and dated layouts. Electrical and plumbing upgrades may be partial or pending. You should budget for updates, especially if you want modern insulation, energy efficiency, or a kitchen that isn’t original. The good news: older homes in this part of the city tend to have solid foundations and framed walls that are straightforward to renovate.

4. Is Windsor Park a good area for families?
Generally, yes. Windsor Park is a well-established Winnipeg neighborhood with mature trees, schools, and parks. The property’s lot size is above average for the area, so it’s well-suited for outdoor play or adding a garage or deck. Keep in mind that many nearby homes are mid-century and the area is more settled than trendy—meaning it’s quieter and less flashy, but also often more affordable than newer suburbs.

5. Why does the “citywide ranking” show 60% for living space but only 25% for lot size?
Because citywide, the average living area is larger (1,342 sqft), so this home’s 1,100 sqft falls a bit below the median. Meanwhile, the average lot size in Winnipeg is 6,570 sqft, so a 6,300 sqft lot here is still competitive—just not as far above average as it is on the street level. The rankings reflect how this property compares differently depending on whether you zoom in on the street or look across the whole city.
