This 1,330-square-foot home, built in 1947, sits on a 7,195-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Wildwood B Park neighbourhood. Its strongest feature is the land: the lot ranks in the top 16% city-wide for size, meaning it offers significantly more outdoor space than most comparable properties in Winnipeg. While the living area is slightly below the street and neighbourhood averages, it still outpaces the typical city-wide home of similar type by a small margin. The assessed value of $490,000 falls near the middle of the street and neighbourhood rankings, but places it in the top 21% across the city—reflecting the premium that land and location carry here.
The appeal lies in balance rather than standout interior size. This is a home where the yard and the potential of a larger-than-average lot are central. It suits buyers who prioritize outdoor space, garden potential, or room for future additions over a maximized floor plan. It would also fit someone looking for a solidly built older home in a mature neighbourhood, with a quieter street profile and a city-wide value proposition that suggests relative affordability compared to newer, larger homes.

-
Is the lot size unusual for this area?
On the street, the lot is average. But city-wide, it’s well above typical, ranking in the top 16%. That makes it a rare find for Winnipeg as a whole, even if neighbours’ lots are similar.
-
Why is the assessed value mid-range on the street but high city-wide?
Because the street and neighbourhood have higher average values (around $508k and $568k respectively), this home is priced near the local median. However, compared to the city average of $390k, it’s above average—mainly due to the lot size and location.
-
The home was built in 1947. Is that considered old or new for the area?
It’s among the older homes on the street and in the neighbourhood—ranked in the top 16% oldest locally. City-wide, there are many older homes, so it falls closer to average age overall.

What does the term “comparable homes” mean in these rankings?
It refers to similar property types in the same scope (street, neighbourhood, or city). The averages and rankings are approximate benchmarks, not exact comps, meant to show how this property fits relative to its peers.
