78 Langside Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2,278 sqft home built in 1904, on a 3,275 sqft lot. Its standout feature is living space: it ranks in the top 7% on its street, top 28% in the West Broadway neighbourhood, and top 5% citywide in Winnipeg. That means significantly more interior square footage than most comparable homes at any level of comparison. The assessed tax value ($341,000) is above the street and neighbourhood averages but sits close to the citywide average, which suggests the home is priced more in line with typical city values despite its larger size—potentially offering above-average space without a proportional tax premium.
The land itself is modest by city standards (bottom 16% citywide), so the appeal here is internal volume on a compact urban lot. The 1904 build date places it among older stock locally (roughly average for the street and neighbourhood) but well below the citywide median. That may mean character details, solid older construction, and a location in an established area—but also likely older systems and maintenance considerations.
Who it suits: Buyers who prioritise generous interior square footage over a large yard. People drawn to older homes with neighbourhood character, especially in West Broadway. Those who want spaciousness without paying a premium for a big lot. Less suited for someone looking for a newer build, a large private outdoor area, or a move-in-ready home with minimal updating.
Five Possible FAQs
Is this a good value for the neighbourhood?
Relative to other homes on Langside Street and in West Broadway, the assessed value is above average, but the living space is notably larger. On a per-square-foot basis, it may offer better value than smaller nearby homes with similar assessments. Citywide, the assessed value is close to average while the square footage is well above it.
What's the condition of a 1904 home likely to be?
Without a recent inspection report to reference, it's fair to expect that a home of this age may have older electrical, plumbing, and insulation. Many century homes in this area have been updated to varying degrees. The ranking data alone doesn't indicate condition, so a professional inspection would be essential.
How does the lot size affect usability?
A 3,275 sqft lot is compact, especially by Winnipeg standards. It will likely suit someone who values indoor space and doesn't need a large garden, garage, or expansive backyard. Street parking and yard size should be confirmed in person.
What's the street like?
Langside Street in West Broadway is an established urban corridor with a mix of older homes, rentals, and some commercial nearby. The property sits among a high number of comparable listings on the street (245), which suggests a dense, built-up block. The rankings show this home stands out in size among its immediate neighbours.
How do the rankings work?
The rankings compare this property against similar homes within the same street, neighbourhood, and city. Higher rankings (smaller numbers) mean the property scores above average for that category. Living area and land area are ranked by size (larger is better), build year by newness (newer is better), and assessed value by amount (higher is better). The progress bars show the percentage of comparable homes this property outperforms.
