9 Pembroke Road – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,251-square-foot home on a 6,247-square-foot lot, built in 1962. Its assessed value is $375,000. The property’s main draw is its land and living space relative to its immediate surroundings. On Pembroke Road, it ranks in the top 19% for both living area and lot size, and in the top 19% for assessed value on the street. That means it stands out among its direct neighbours—not as an outlier, but as a noticeably larger property.

The appeal here is subtle. It’s not a showpiece compared to the city as a whole (it’s around average citywide for both living area and value), but it’s well above average within its own street and neighbourhood. For a buyer who values having more indoor space and a larger yard than what’s typical nearby, without reaching for a premium price bracket, this is a practical fit. It would suit someone who wants a solid, mid-century home in a stable area like Windsor Park, and who sees the land as a quiet advantage—perhaps for gardening, adding a garage, or simply not feeling cramped. It’s less suited to someone looking for a modern layout or a home that commands a citywide bargain.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does this home’s assessed value compare to others on the same street?
It’s above average. The median assessed value for comparable homes on Pembroke Road is about $362,000; this property is ranked 6th out of 31, at $375,000. That puts it in the top 19% on the street, though it’s slightly below the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,000).

2. Is the lot size considered large for this neighborhood?
Yes, relative to the immediate street. At 6,247 square feet, it’s larger than the typical Pembroke Road lot (around 6,019 sq ft). Within the broader Windsor Park neighbourhood, it ranks near the middle (top 31%), meaning lots of this size aren’t unusual, but they’re not the norm either.

3. How does the year built affect the home’s practicality?
Built in 1962, the home is around average for its street and slightly older than the citywide median for comparable homes (1966). That means it’s part of the post-war housing stock common in Winnipeg. Buyers should expect original-era construction, which may mean updating mechanicals, windows, or insulation, but it also often means solid framing and mature landscaping.

4. Why is the citywide ranking for living area only in the top 46%, while the street ranking is top 19%?
The property is 1,251 square feet, which is spacious for Pembroke Road (where the street average is 1,146 sq ft), but the citywide comparables include newer or larger homes that push the overall median higher (1,342 sq ft). So it’s a relatively large home within its immediate context, but not exceptional across Winnipeg.

5. What does the ranking system actually compare—are these exact duplicates or just similar homes?
The rankings compare this home to “comparable” properties—homes of similar type and size within the same street, neighbourhood, or city. They’re not exact matches, but the pool is filtered to keep the comparison relevant. The bar chart shown on the listing roughly indicates the share of peers this home outperforms, with colors signaling whether it’s above (blue), around (amber), or below (red) typical benchmarks.
