543 Camden Place – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1910 home with 2,135 square feet of living space on a 3,475-square-foot lot, located on Camden Place in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood. The property’s standout feature is its size. It ranks first on its street for living area—nearly 60% larger than the street average—and places in the top 8% city-wide. The lot is also generous for the street, ranking fourth out of 48 homes. The assessed value of $336,000 sits slightly above the street average but below the neighbourhood and city medians, suggesting the home is reasonably priced relative to its square footage.

The appeal here is straightforward: you get a notably large house on a good-sized lot in Wolseley, a desirable central neighbourhood known for its mature trees, older character homes, and walkability. The trade-off is the age. At 114 years old, it ranks near the bottom of its street and in the bottom 6% city-wide. Buyers should expect maintenance, updates, or systems that reflect a house built in 1910. The value proposition is not in a turnkey modern finish, but in space and location for someone willing to invest time or money into an older home.

This property would suit buyers who prioritize square footage and a premium street within an established neighbourhood, and who are comfortable with the realities of an old house. It is less suited for someone seeking a low-maintenance newer build or a home that requires no near-term work.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
   The assessed value is $336,000. That is roughly 11% above the street average of $303,300, but about 10% below the Wolseley neighbourhood average of $371,300. It falls slightly below the city-wide median for comparable homes.

2. Is the lot size considered large for this area?
   On its street, yes. It ranks fourth out of 48 homes (top 8%), with a lot of 3,475 square feet versus a street average of 2,678. Within the broader Wolseley neighbourhood, it is close to the average (3,434 square feet), so it is not unusually large by local standards.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1910?
   Old homes often have solid framing and character details, but mechanical systems (like electrical, plumbing, and heating) may be original or outdated. Insulation and windows may also need attention. Buyers should budget for potential upgrades and factor in that the home ranks in the bottom 6% city-wide for year built.

4. How does this home compare to others in Wolseley overall?
   For living area, it is well above average—ranking in the top 15% of the neighbourhood. For assessed value, it is around average (top 55%). For lot size, it is also around average (top 31%). Its strongest advantage is living space; its weakest is age.
