Property Overview
158 Wallingford Crescent is a well-established family home in the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 1986, it sits on a generous 7,211 sqft lot and offers nearly 2,000 sqft of living space. The appeal of this property lies in its strong positional value. It consistently ranks above average for its street and for the city as a whole in key metrics like lot size, living area, and assessed value. This suggests a home that is both substantial within its immediate context and a standout compared to Winnipeg's broader housing stock. It would suit buyers looking for a solid, spacious home in a mature neighbourhood, who appreciate the stability and established community of Linden Woods. A thoughtful perspective is that while its year-built ranks lower within Linden Woods itself (where many homes are newer), its above-average citywide ranking indicates it's still a relatively modern property in the wider market, potentially offering better-built character than much older homes while being situated on a larger, more private lot than newer infill developments.
