Property Overview: 86 Foxmeadow Drive, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,168 sqft bungalow, built in 1989, sits on a generous 6,395 sqft lot in the established Linden Woods neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its position as a relatively affordable entry point into a sought-after area. While the living space is compact compared to many neighbouring homes, this translates to a lower price point and manageable upkeep. The lot size is notably above average for Foxmeadow Drive, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.
The property suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking Linden Woods amenities—like parks, schools, and convenient access—without the premium for a larger modern footprint. It also appeals to value-oriented buyers or investors who see potential in the land or a home that, while older, is newer than the Winnipeg city average. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a balance: you're purchasing location and land size, accepting a smaller interior that may require updates. Its assessed value is significantly above the Winnipeg average, highlighting the neighbourhood premium, yet it sold below its assessed price in 2025, suggesting a practical buying opportunity.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the size of this home compare to others in the area?
The living area is notably smaller than most homes on Foxmeadow Drive and in Linden Woods overall, ranking in the bottom 1% and 6% respectively for size. However, it is close to the average size for a Winnipeg home citywide.
2. What does the sold price range (CA$500k–550k in 2025) tell us?
The sale likely occurred below the current $540k assessed value, which can indicate a market-adjusted price or a buyer's acknowledgment of work needed. It suggests room for negotiation or value addition.

Yes. The lot is larger than 87% of properties on the same street, providing more private outdoor space than is typical for the immediate area, which is a key advantage.
4. The home was built in 1989. What should I consider?
