270 Aubrey Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,777-square-foot home built in 1912 sits on a 3,009-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood. The property stands out most for its assessed value: ranked 7th out of 118 homes on Aubrey Street (top 6%) with an assessed value of $430,000, well above the street's average of $320,500. Its living area also ranks well—top 12% on the street and top 18% citywide—giving it more interior space than most comparable homes in the city.

The land area is average for the street and neighbourhood (2,982 sqft and 3,434 sqft averages, respectively), but significantly smaller than the citywide average of 6,570 sqft, which is typical for older, central infill lots. The year built (1912) is also typical for Wolseley but places it in the oldest 8% of homes citywide, meaning it likely has character features but may need modern updates.

Appeal: This home offers above-average living space and assessed value within a well-regarded, mature neighbourhood. The combination of a strong value ranking on the street with modest land suggests a home that’s been well-maintained or updated—or is located on a desirable block.

Suitable for: Buyers who prioritize interior square footage and want a home with established character in a central neighbourhood. It may suit someone looking for a solid family home or a property with proven value growth potential, rather than someone seeking a large yard or a newer build. Investors or renovators might find the value gap between street and city rankings worth exploring.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this property’s assessed value compare to others nearby?
The assessed value of $430,000 ranks 7th out of 118 homes on Aubrey Street (top 6%) and 507th out of 2,349 homes in the Wolseley neighbourhood (top 22%). Citywide, it sits in the top 32%, meaning it’s valued above the Winnipeg average of $390,100 but not among the highest-tier properties across the city.

2. Is the living space considered large for the area?
Yes. At 1,777 sqft, it’s about 43% larger than the average home on Aubrey Street (1,243 sqft). It also ranks in the top 18% citywide, so you’re getting significantly more interior space than most comparable homes in Winnipeg.

3. How typical is the 1912 build year for Wolseley?
It’s very typical. The average year built on Aubrey Street is 1917, and in the neighbourhood it’s 1916. The home is slightly older than these averages but not unusual for the area. Citywide, however, the average is 1966, so it’s an older home by Winnipeg standards.

4. What’s the lot size like, and is that a concern?
The lot is 3,009 sqft—slightly above the street average (2,982 sqft) but below the neighbourhood average (3,434 sqft). It’s notably smaller than the citywide average of 6,570 sqft, which is common for older, centrally located homes. This is typical for Wolseley, where many lots are compact and close to services. If you want a large backyard for gardening or expansion, this may feel tight.

5. How do these rankings actually work, and what do the colours mean?
Rankings compare this property to “comparable homes” within the same street, neighbourhood, and city—grouped by similar property type and characteristics. A top 12% ranking for living area, for example, means only 12% of comparable homes have more square footage. The colour coding indicates performance tier: green or blue typically means above average, amber is around average, and red signals below average compared to peers. The bar fill length shows how many homes you outperform within that group.
