Property Summary: 238 Ruby Street

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1910 home in Wolseley offers 1,912 square feet of living space on a 3,026-square-foot lot. Its assessed value sits at $391,000. The property’s real strength is interior space. It ranks in the top 13% city-wide for living area, and is well above average on Ruby Street itself. This gives it a genuinely spacious feel compared to most homes in Winnipeg, without the premium price tag you might expect for that size.

The appeal here is a trade-off. You get a larger-than-average floor plan in a desirable older neighborhood, but the land is on the smaller side (bottom 22% on the street) and the house is older than many city-wide comparables. The assessed value is close to average for the area, suggesting the market hasn’t fully priced in the extra square footage.

This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes interior square footage in an established, walkable neighborhood and is comfortable with a smaller yard and the maintenance that comes with a home built in 1910. It’s a less obvious choice for someone who wants a large lot or a move-in-ready, newer build.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living space actually compare to other homes nearby?
Very favorably. On your street, this home is in the top 29% for size. In the wider Wolseley neighborhood, it’s still in the top 27%. At 1,912 square feet, it is noticeably larger than the city-wide average for comparable homes (1,342 sqft), so you’re getting well above the norm for the area.

2. Is the assessed value high for what you get?
Not particularly. The value is around average for both Ruby Street and Wolseley. It ranks in the top 39% on the street and top 32% in the neighborhood. Given the above-average living area, the assessed value suggests you may get more square footage for your money here than in many nearby properties.

3. What should I know about a house built in 1910?
This is an older home, even by Wolseley standards—the neighborhood average is 1916. City-wide, only about 6% of homes are older. You should expect the quirks and maintenance of a century-old house (older electrical, plumbing, foundations) and factor that into your renovation or upkeep budget. The smaller lot also means less outdoor space to maintain, which can be a practical advantage for some owners.

4. Why is the land area ranked lower than the living area?
The lot is 3,026 square feet. That’s typical for the street but on the smaller side for Wolseley (top 56%) and well below the city-wide average of 6,570 sqft. This is common for older, denser neighborhoods. You’re trading yard space for a more central location and a larger house footprint.

5. Who is this house not for?
It’s likely not the best fit for buyers seeking a large yard for gardening or kids’ play, or for those who want a newer home with minimal immediate maintenance. It also may not appeal to someone looking for a bargain assessed value—the price is in line with the neighborhood, not below it.
