74 Langside Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1904-built home with 2,084 sq ft of living space on a 3,275 sq ft lot. Its standout feature is size: the living area ranks in the top 14% on its street and top 9% citywide, well above Winnipeg’s average of 1,342 sq ft. The assessed value of $352,000 is above the neighbourhood average but slightly below the citywide typical figure, suggesting it may offer more space for the money compared to other parts of the city. The lot is larger than most on the street but below the city average—a fairly typical trade-off in older urban neighbourhoods.

The home is older than most in Winnipeg, which matters less to some buyers than others. Within its own community, its age is close to the norm, meaning the area likely has a mix of well-maintained heritage properties. The appeal here is not in a turnkey modern finish but in the potential of generous interior square footage in a walkable, central location. This would suit buyers who value interior space over a large yard, and who are comfortable with an older home that may need updates or already has been maintained to a standard that suits their needs. It’s less suited to someone seeking a newer build or a large lot for outdoor use.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the property’s assessed value compare to similar homes in the area?
The assessed value is $352,000. That's above the Langside Street average ($225,000) and the West Broadway average ($295,000), but slightly below the citywide average of $390,000. In this context, the buyer is paying for above-average square footage in a neighbourhood where prices are generally lower than the city median.

2. The home was built in 1904—should that be a concern?
Within West Broadway, the average build year is 1910, so this home fits the historic character of the area. Citywide, most homes are newer (average 1966), so if you’re used to newer construction, it’s worth budgeting for possible maintenance related to older systems. That said, many century homes in the area are well-preserved, and age alone isn't a red flag.

3. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is 3,275 sq ft—larger than most on the street (top 12%), but smaller than the city average of 6,570 sq ft and slightly below the community average. If you’re looking for a big backyard, this may feel tight. If you want a manageable outdoor space with a large interior, it’s a reasonable fit.

4. What kind of buyer is this property best for?
Someone who prioritizes interior living space over outdoor square footage, and is open to an older home in a central, walkable neighbourhood. It could suit a small family, a couple, or someone who works from home and needs extra room. It’s less ideal for buyers who want a large yard or a recently built house with modern fixtures throughout.

5. Does the ranking data suggest the home is a good value?
The living area ranks in the top 9% citywide, while the assessed value sits around the city median. That discrepancy often points to a value opportunity, especially if the home’s condition matches your expectations. However, the older construction and modest lot are factors that may offset that for some buyers. It depends on which features matter most to you.
