2081 Gallagher Avenue – Property Summary
Overview & Buyer Profile
This is a 2009-built home with 1,054 square feet of living space on a 2,496-square-foot lot, located on Gallagher Avenue in the Weston area of Winnipeg.
Its main appeal lies in being a newer home in an older neighbourhood. The property ranks in the top 7% of Weston homes for build year (2009, compared to a community average of 1937) and sits in the top 28% for interior size locally. The assessed value of $237,000 is above the neighbourhood average of $185,000, suggesting the home’s age and condition are priced in. However, the lot is noticeably smaller than typical for both the street and the area—ranking in the bottom 20% locally and bottom 4% citywide. This is a house that prioritizes modern interior space over yard size.
This property would suit buyers who want a relatively new, move-in-ready home in a central, established part of Winnipeg, without paying for a large lot they don’t need. It may be a good fit for first-time buyers, small families, or those downsizing from an older, larger home who still want a recent build. Buyers should be comfortable with a compact yard and understand that the assessed value, while higher than the neighbourhood average, is still well below the citywide median—meaning the property is affordable by city standards, but priced at a premium for its immediate area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s size compare to other homes nearby?
The living area of 1,054 sqft is slightly above the Weston average (936 sqft) and the Gallagher Avenue average (994 sqft), putting it in the top third for both the street and neighbourhood. However, it is below the Winnipeg citywide average of 1,342 sqft.
2. Is the home considered old or new?
Built in 2009, it is significantly newer than the vast majority of homes on the street and in Weston, where average build years are 1942 and 1937 respectively. It ranks in the top 16% on Gallagher and top 7% in the neighbourhood for recency.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighbourhood average but lower than the city average?
The assessed value of $237,000 reflects the home’s newer construction and good condition, which pushes it above older, lower-valued homes in Weston. However, when compared citywide, many larger or more centrally located homes have higher values—the city average is $390,000.
4. What is the lot like?
The lot is 2,496 sqft, which is smaller than typical for the street (3,061 sqft average) and the neighbourhood (3,269 sqft average). It ranks in the bottom 14% of Weston lots. Buyers should expect minimal yard space and be comfortable with that trade-off for a newer house.
5. Who typically buys this type of property?
This home tends to attract buyers who want a newer, lower-maintenance house without the premium of a large lot. It is common for first-time buyers, young families, or people moving from larger older homes who want less upkeep. Location-conscious buyers may also be drawn to the central, established Weston area.
