15 Northumbria Bay – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1964-built home in Winnipeg’s Windsor Park neighbourhood, with a living area of 1,446 sqft on a 5,506 sqft lot. Its assessed value (for tax purposes) is $411,000.

The property stands out most clearly at the neighbourhood level. Within Windsor Park (3,307 properties), it ranks in the top 7% for living area and top 6% for assessed value. On its own street (Northumbria Bay, 44 homes), it sits in the top 11% for size and top 9% for value. Citywide, it's closer to average in both categories, but still in the top third for size and top 36% for value.

The lot size is slightly smaller than the neighbourhood average (5,506 sqft vs. 6,030 sqft), ranking in the bottom third locally. The build year (1964) is typical for the street and slightly newer than the neighbourhood average (1961), though not a standout feature.

Where the appeal lies: This home offers above-average interior space relative to its immediate surroundings, without the corresponding jump in assessed value—suggesting potential value relative to larger or more recently updated homes nearby. The lot is modest, which may keep yard maintenance manageable, and the street ranking (top 10% for both size and value) indicates it's one of the more substantial homes on its block.

Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize interior square footage over land size, and who want a home that is already among the larger, higher-valued properties in its immediate area. It may also appeal to those who are comfortable with a 1960s-era home (likely needing some updates) in a well-established neighbourhood, rather than seeking a newer build or a large yard. It's less suited to buyers wanting a spacious lot or a property that stands out citywide.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's size compare to others in Windsor Park?
It's well above average. The home's 1,446 sqft living area places it in the top 7% of all homes in the neighbourhood, where the average is about 1,091 sqft.

2. Is the assessed value high for what you get?
Relative to the neighbourhood, yes—it's in the top 6% for assessed value. But citywide, it's close to the average ($411,000 vs. $390,000). The property's assessed value is high locally, but not notably so across Winnipeg.

3. What's the lot like? Is it enough space?
The lot is 5,506 sqft, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average (6,030 sqft) and ranks in the bottom third locally. It's adequate for a typical single-family home but not generous. Expect minimal backyard space compared to other Windsor Park properties.

4. How old is the house, and is that a concern?
Built in 1964, so roughly 60 years old. That's typical for the street (average build year is also 1964) and slightly newer than the neighbourhood average (1961). Homes from this era often have good bones but may need updates to electrical, plumbing, insulation, or finishes. A thorough home inspection is advisable.

5. How does this property compare to others on the same street?
It ranks among the best on Northumbria Bay: 5th out of 44 for living area (top 11%), and 4th out of 44 for assessed value (top 9%). It's one of the larger, higher-valued homes on the block, but with a lot size closer to the middle (27th out of 44).
