1419 Logan Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a compact single-family home in Winnipeg’s Weston neighbourhood, built in 1945. It offers 980 square feet of living space on a notably large lot of 4,217 square feet—well above both the street and neighbourhood averages. The assessed value sits at $147,000, which is significantly below citywide norms, reflecting the home’s age and size relative to newer or larger properties elsewhere in Winnipeg.
The property’s main appeal is the land. On Logan Avenue, it ranks in the top 23% for lot size, and within Weston, it’s in the top 19%. For buyers who value outdoor space—gardening, room for a workshop, or future expansion—this stands out. The home itself is modest: living area is around average for the street but below citywide medians. Its year-built is typical for the neighbourhood, meaning it may require updates common to homes of that era.
This property would suit a first-time buyer looking to get into the market with a lower entry price, or someone willing to invest in renovations over time. It may also appeal to buyers prioritizing lot value over finished square footage—those who see land as the asset and the house as a starting point. Investors or flippers might find potential, provided they factor in the lower assessed value and neighbourhood price ceiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $147,000 is below the Weston neighbourhood average of $184,700 and well below the citywide average of $390,100. On Logan Avenue itself, it’s slightly below the street average of $187,800, ranking in the bottom third. This means the price is likely more accessible than many surrounding properties, but it also reflects the home’s age and size relative to newer or larger homes.
2. Is the lot size unusually large for this area?
Yes. At 4,217 square feet, it ranks in the top 23% on the street and top 19% in the neighbourhood. Both the street and area averages are around 3,600–3,700 square feet, so this offers noticeably more outdoor space. That said, citywide land sizes are larger on average, so the lot is generous for Weston but not exceptional by Winnipeg standards.
3. What should I know about the home’s age?
Built in 1945, it’s older than the average home citywide (1966) but around average for Weston. Homes from this era often have solid construction but may need updates to electrical, plumbing, insulation, or windows. The ranking on the street (top 31%) suggests many nearby homes are newer, so this one may require more maintenance than some neighbours’.
4. How does the living area compare to other homes in the city?
At 980 square feet, it’s slightly above the Weston and Logan Avenue averages (around 936–938 sqft) but significantly below the citywide average of 1,342 sqft. Citywide, it ranks in the bottom quarter for living area. This is a smaller home—practical for a couple, small family, or someone who doesn’t need a lot of indoor space.
5. Would this property be a good candidate for renovations or additions?
Possibly, but with caveats. The large lot provides room for an addition or secondary structure, but resale value in the neighbourhood may not support a high-end renovation budget. The assessed value suggests the market here is price-sensitive. Buyers should weigh the cost of updates against the likely return—this is more of a long-term hold or starter home than a quick-flip opportunity.
