Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,126 sqft home on Fleury Place, built in 1956, sits on a 5,032 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Windsor Park neighbourhood. What stands out here isn’t the size or the age—it’s the assessed value relative to everything around it. The property ranks #1 out of 22 homes on its street for assessed value (top 5%), and sits comfortably above average both in the neighbourhood and citywide. In practical terms, that suggests a home that’s been well maintained or thoughtfully updated, holding its value better than comparable properties nearby.

The living area is right around the street average, and slightly above the neighbourhood average, but slightly below the citywide average for similar homes. The lot is a bit smaller than typical for Windsor Park, which tends to have larger, deeper yards. The house was built in 1956—older than most homes in the neighbourhood (which average 1961) and about a decade older than the city average. This is one of those properties where age doesn’t tell the full story; the valuation suggests the structure and finishes have been cared for over time.

Who this suits: A buyer who prioritizes value retention and street-level prestige over raw space. This isn’t the right house if you need the biggest yard on the block or the newest build. It works well for someone who wants a solid, older home in a stable neighbourhood where the property has already proven its worth relative to peers. First-time buyers who plan to hold for a while, or downsizers who want a smaller lot with less upkeep but still want to be in a desirable pocket of Windsor Park, would do well here.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the “Top 5%” street ranking for assessed value actually mean?
It means this home is valued higher than 95% of the other homes on Fleury Place. On this street, the average assessed value is about $318,800—this property sits at $375,000. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “better” than the others, but it does suggest it has held or increased value relative to its neighbours, which often points to good condition, updates, or a location advantage on the street itself.

2. How does the lot size compare to other homes in the area?
It’s below average. The neighbourhood average lot size in Windsor Park is about 6,030 sqft, and citywide it’s about 6,570 sqft. This home’s lot is 5,032 sqft, placing it in the bottom 11% locally and bottom 46% citywide. That’s not unusual for an older home on a tighter street, but it means less yard space than many other properties you might see in the area.

3. Is a 1956 build something to be concerned about?
Not necessarily. While it’s older than the neighbourhood average (1961) and city average (1966), the assessed value suggests it’s been maintained reasonably well. Homes from the 1950s often have solid framing and good bones. The main things to look into would be the condition of the roof, windows, furnace, and electrical—things that typically get replaced over time. The valuation ranking implies someone has likely already invested in those areas.

4. Why is the citywide ranking for value only “around average” if the street ranking is top-tier?
Because context matters. This home is a strong performer on its own street and in its immediate neighbourhood, but when compared to the entire city—where there are newer homes, larger properties, and different market segments—it lands closer to the middle. The street and neighbourhood rankings are more useful for understanding how this property fits into its immediate market. The citywide number is a broader benchmark.

5. What does the “open neighbourhood map analysis” link actually show?
It allows you to compare this property to nearby homes side-by-side, using the same metrics—year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. You can see where this house falls relative to specific neighbours, rather than just averages or percentiles. It’s useful if you want to understand the context of the street and block, not just the overall category rankings.
