Highlights & common questions: 157 Arlington Street, Winnipeg

Here is a clean, standalone summary of the property at 157 Arlington Street, written for direct display on a webpage.


Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1911 home with 1,898 square feet of living space on a 3,313 square foot lot. Its standout feature is above-average interior space. The house ranks in the top 6% on Arlington Street for living area, and top 14% citywide—meaning it offers significantly more room than most similar-era homes in Winnipeg. Its assessed value of $308,000 sits above typical street-level pricing but below the neighborhood and city medians, suggesting a location-driven value gap rather than a premium for finishes or updates.

The appeal lies in the compromise between space and location. The lot is on the smaller side citywide, which is typical for older, central neighborhoods like Wolseley. This is not a property with a large yard or a modern build. Instead, its value is in having generous interior square footage without paying for a premium street or a newer structure. The house is older than the city average, which may appeal to buyers who appreciate character or are prepared for renovation work.

This property would best suit a buyer who prioritizes interior space over land size—someone looking for room to spread out within the city core. It could also work for an investor or owner-occupier who sees potential in a structurally sound home with a below-neighborhood assessment, provided they are comfortable with the maintenance needs of a home built in 1911.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Wolseley?
It is slightly smaller than the neighborhood average. On Arlington Street, the lot ranks around average, but citywide it falls well below the median. This is common for a 1911 home in a walkable, central area—yards here are typically more compact.

2. Is the assessed value of $308k good for this street?
Yes. The home is valued higher than 84% of properties on Arlington Street, reflecting its larger living area. However, it sits below both the Wolseley and Winnipeg averages, which often happens when a home’s high square footage does not align with recent renovation value or lot size.

3. What is the significance of the 1911 build year?
The home is older than 93% of properties citywide. While age can mean character and solid construction, it also typically implies older systems (plumbing, electrical, insulation). Buyers should budget for upgrades and confirm that major systems have been updated or are functional.

4. Is this property a good value compared to the rest of Winnipeg?
It offers above-average living space at a below-average assessed value citywide. The value proposition is clear: you get more indoor square footage for less money than many newer or larger-lot homes. The trade-off is an older building and a smaller yard.

5. What should a buyer look out for with this home?
Given the build year, a thorough home inspection is critical. Focus on foundation condition, the age of the roof and furnace, and whether knob-and-tube or galvanized plumbing remains. The smaller lot also means less opportunity for expansion or large landscaping projects.
