82 Langside Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2,186 sqft home built in 1904, sitting on a 3,275 sqft lot in Winnipeg's West Broadway area. The property stands out most for its size. On Langside Street, it ranks in the top 11% for living area—well above the street average of 1,530 sqft. Citywide, it lands in the top 7% for living area among comparable homes, which is notable given that most homes in Winnipeg are significantly smaller.
The lot is also above average for the street (top 12%), though it falls below citywide norms—a reminder that inner-city lots tend to be more compact than suburban ones. The assessed value of $301,000 is above the street average of $225,200 but roughly in line with the West Broadway neighbourhood average of $295,400. Citywide, the value sits around average, which reflects the trade-off between being in a central, older neighbourhood versus having more square footage than most homes in the city.
The home was built in 1904, making it older than nearly everything else in Winnipeg (top 99% oldest citywide). This is not uncommon for the neighbourhood, where the average build year is 1910.
Where the appeal lies: The property offers generous interior space at a price point that undercuts newer, similarly sized homes farther from the core. For someone who values room to spread out over modern finishes or a big yard, this is a practical option.
Who it suits: Buyers who are comfortable with an older home and its quirks—plaster walls, original layout, likely some deferred maintenance. It would work well for someone who wants to live in a central, walkable neighbourhood without sacrificing square footage. Less suited to someone looking for a turnkey property, a large private yard, or a newer build.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $301,000 is above the typical home on Langside Street (average $225,200) and close to the West Broadway neighbourhood average of $295,400. Citywide, it's around the middle of the pack, meaning you're getting above-average space without paying a premium relative to the rest of Winnipeg.
2. Is the lot size typical for this area?
The 3,275 sqft lot is larger than most on Langside Street (top 12%), but smaller than the neighbourhood average of 3,954 sqft and well below the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. This is fairly standard for an older, central Winnipeg property—compact yard, but more than many street-level neighbours have.
3. What condition should I expect from a 1904 home?
The home is among the oldest in Winnipeg (top 1% citywide). The data doesn't include condition, but a property of this age likely has original structural elements, older wiring and plumbing, and may need updates. The assessed value suggests it's not fully renovated, but you'd want an inspection to understand the specifics.
4. Why is the citywide value ranking (top 70%) so different from the living area ranking (top 7%)?
Living area is just one factor in assessed value. Location, condition, lot size, and neighbourhood desirability all play a role. This home is large but sits in an older, central neighbourhood where values are generally lower than in newer, more suburban parts of the city. You're getting more space for your money, but not in a high-appreciation area.
5. How does this property compare to others in the West Broadway neighbourhood?
In the neighbourhood, the home ranks near the middle for assessed value (top 39%) and for lot size (top 57%). Its living area and age are roughly average for the area. The main differentiator is the street itself: on Langside, this home is one of the largest and most valuable, while in the broader neighbourhood it blends in.
