Property Summary: 19 Humber Road
Section 1: What This Property Offers and Who It’s For
This is a 1,052 sqft home on a 5,498 sqft lot, built in 1960. Its appeal lies in balance. Among 34 homes on Humber Road, it sits near the middle for both living space (14th) and lot size (13th). The assessed value of $333,000 is below the street average of $360,000, which positions it as a more affordable option on its own block.
The home is in Windsor Park, a Winnipeg neighbourhood where the average property is slightly smaller (1,091 sqft average living area) and slightly more expensive ($354,000 average assessment). Compared to the rest of the city, this property lands squarely in the middle tier: its living area is below Winnipeg’s average of 1,342 sqft, but its lot size is more competitive, ranking in the top 43% citywide.
This property would suit buyers who want a reasonably sized lot in an established neighbourhood without paying a premium for a fully updated or oversized home. It is less suited for someone looking for maximum space per dollar or a turnkey modern finish, but it offers a solid entry point for those willing to do cosmetic updates or who prioritize lot-to-house ratio over fresh construction.
Section 2: Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar properties nearby?
The home’s assessed value of $333,000 is below the street average ($360,000) and below the community average ($354,000), but it sits close to the citywide median. This may mean lower property taxes relative to neighbours, but it can also reflect the age or condition of the building versus more recently updated homes on the same street.
2. Is the lot size considered small for the area?
On Humber Road, the lot is only slightly smaller than average (5,498 sqft vs. 5,822 sqft). Within the broader Windsor Park community, it’s noticeably smaller—ranking 74th percentile for the area. Citywide, however, it is still above average. This means it’s a typical size for the immediate street but smaller than many nearby properties in the wider neighbourhood.
3. Why is the home built in 1960 a factor worth considering?
Homes from this era often have good bones but may need updates to mechanical systems, windows, or insulation. The property ranks 26th out of 34 on its street in terms of newer construction—meaning most neighbours are slightly newer. Buyers should budget for potential renovations, especially if the interior has not been modernized recently.
4. How does this property compare to the average citywide property?
Winnipeg’s average home is 1,342 sqft on a 6,570 sqft lot, with an assessed value of $390,000. This home is smaller and less valuable than the city norm, but its lot size is close to the city average. It represents a more compact and cost-conscious option relative to the broader market.
5. What does the ranking data actually tell me about desirability?
The rankings put this property at or near the middle on its street for size and lot, but below average for assessed value and newer construction. That often indicates a home that is functional but not a standout. For a buyer, that can mean less competition—but also less immediate equity gain compared to recently flipped or updated houses nearby. The progress bar is a rough guide, not a judgment of quality.
