78 Arlington Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,394 sqft home on Arlington Street in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood was built in 1909 and sits on a 2,411 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $367,000.

Where this property stands out is on its own street. Among 480 comparable homes on Arlington, it ranks in the top 10% for assessed value and top 23% for living area. That means it’s one of the larger, more valuable houses on the block. The lot, however, is on the smaller side—ranking in the bottom 7% on the street and bottom 13% in the neighbourhood. The home itself is also older than most, even by Wolseley standards, where the average build year is 1916.

The appeal here is more about context than raw numbers. You’re getting above-average space for the street, in a neighbourhood where homes can feel cramped by Winnipeg standards, but you’re also accepting a smaller yard and an older structure. Citywide, the living area and assessed value both sit near the middle.

This property would suit a buyer who values interior square footage and street-level prestige over lot size or a newer build. It’s a good fit for someone who prefers a home with character in an established, walkable neighbourhood, and who is comfortable with the maintenance and limitations that come with an older house. It might not appeal to buyers looking for a large yard or a move-in-ready modern footprint.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Wolseley?
The lot is 2,411 sqft, which is about 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 3,434 sqft. It ranks in the bottom 13% locally. If yard space is a priority, you’ll want to see it in person and consider whether it meets your needs.

2. Is the assessed value of $367,000 a good deal?
It’s above average for Arlington Street (top 10%), but close to the Wolseley neighbourhood average of $371,300 and slightly below the citywide median for comparable homes. It’s not a bargain relative to the street, but it’s not overpriced for the area either.

3. What does the 1909 build year mean for maintenance?
This home is older than 79% of houses on Arlington and 79% in Wolseley. Citywide, it’s among the oldest 5% of homes. You should expect aging systems, potential foundation or roof issues, and possibly outdated wiring or plumbing. A thorough inspection is strongly recommended.

4. How does the living space compare to typical Winnipeg homes?
At 1,394 sqft, it’s slightly above average citywide (1,342 sqft) and well above the Arlington Street average (1,163 sqft). It’s smaller than the Wolseley neighbourhood average of 1,622 sqft, so you get decent interior space for the street but not for the broader area.

5. Why does it rank well on its street but not in the neighbourhood?
Arlington Street has smaller homes and lower values compared to the rest of Wolseley. This property stands out locally because it’s bigger and more valuable than its immediate neighbours. But in the wider neighbourhood context, it’s average—a common situation in areas with mixed housing stock.
