1455 Logan Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This is a 1,080-square-foot home built in 1945 on a 3,884-square-foot lot. Its standout feature is its living space, which is above average both on Logan Avenue (top 17%) and in the Weston neighbourhood (top 23%), while its assessed value remains modest at $160,000—well below the citywide average of $390,100. The land is generous for the neighbourhood (top 30% in Weston) but on the smaller side citywide.
The appeal lies in the balance of space and affordability. You get a house with more interior square footage and a larger lot than most nearby properties, without the price tag that usually accompanies those advantages. The assessed value is roughly average for the street, meaning it’s not overpriced compared to its immediate neighbours.
This would suit a buyer who values interior roominess and a decent-sized yard but isn’t concerned about location prestige or a newer build. It’s a practical choice for someone who wants more house than the neighbourhood generally offers, without paying a premium for it—perhaps a first-time buyer, a small family, or an investor looking for a solid rental with good livability ratios.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the living area compare to the city average?
The house has 1,080 sqft of living space, which is actually lower than the citywide average of 1,342 sqft for comparable homes. But it’s a different story locally: on Logan Avenue and in Weston, it ranks well above average. So if you’re comparing to the whole city, it’s slightly smaller; if you’re staying within the immediate area, it’s on the spacious side.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city average?
The assessed value is $160,000, versus $390,100 citywide. That’s partly due to the neighbourhood’s overall valuation, but also because the house was built in 1945 and is in an area where values haven’t climbed as steeply as newer districts. It’s not a reflection of poor condition—just that the local market and older age keep the number low relative to the city as a whole.
3. Is the land size considered small or large?
It depends on your benchmark. The 3,884-sqft lot is above average for Weston (top 30%), meaning you get more yard than most neighbours. But compared to the citywide average of 6,570 sqft, it’s well below. So if you expect a sprawling urban lot, this isn’t it; if you want something better than average in the immediate area, it fits.
4. How does this home’s age affect its value or appeal?
Built in 1945, it’s older than most Winnipeg homes, which skew toward 1966 on average. That can mean lower assessed value and possibly higher maintenance, but it also often means solid older construction, mature trees, and a location in a more established part of the city. For a buyer who isn’t afraid of some character or cosmetic updates, it can be a good value play.
5. What do the rankings actually mean for a potential buyer?
The rankings compare this property to “comparable homes” in the same street, neighbourhood, and city. Think of them as showing where this house sits relative to peers. For example, top 17% on the street for living area means it’s noticeably bigger than 83% of similar nearby houses. For assessed value on the street, top 55% is middle-of-the-pack—it’s not a bargain or a standout, just average for that block. These rankings help you see whether you’re getting more or less space, land, or value than other properties in the same context.
