181 Harper Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Suitability
This is a 948-square-foot single-family home built in 1959, located on Harper Avenue in the Windsor Park neighbourhood of Winnipeg. The property sits on a 6,186-square-foot lot.
Its main draw is the lot size. The lot ranks in the top 27% citywide—meaning it's noticeably larger than many comparable Winnipeg properties. For a home of this vintage and size, land in this range is less common and often appeals to buyers who want outdoor space, gardening room, or future expansion potential, even if the house itself isn't large.
The assessed value sits at $353,000, which is around average for both the street and the neighbourhood, but below the citywide average of $390,100 for comparable homes. The living area is below average compared to other homes in Windsor Park and the wider city. This is a compact home, and the value is more tied to the land than to the square footage.
It would suit a buyer who prioritises lot size over finished interior space—someone open to renovating, adding on, or simply living in a modest home with more outdoor room. It’s less suited to someone who needs a large, move-in-ready floor plan or who wants a home that already matches neighbourhood averages in size.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to other homes nearby?
Around average for the street (ranked 39th out of 88) and for Windsor Park (top 53%). It sits below the citywide average for comparable homes, which is partly due to the smaller living area.
2. Is the lot really that much bigger than typical?
Yes. At 6,186 square feet, it’s above average citywide, ranking in the top 27%. On Harper Avenue itself, lots average around 5,435 square feet, so this one is a fair bit larger than most on the street.
3. What condition is the house in?
The listing data doesn’t cover condition, but the home was built in 1959. Buyers should plan for a thorough inspection. A lot of the value here is in the land, so the house may require updates or repairs.
4. How does the living area rank within Windsor Park?
It’s below average. Out of over 3,300 properties in the neighbourhood, it ranks in the top 79%—meaning roughly one in five homes in Windsor Park is smaller. The neighbourhood average is 1,091 square feet, so this home is about 140 square feet under that.
5. What’s the neighbourhood like in terms of home ages?
Windsor Park has a mix of homes, but the average build year is 1961—very close to this property’s 1959 date. This is a postwar area, and many homes are of a similar era, so the style and maintenance needs will be consistent with much of the surrounding area.
