27 Halliday Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This property stands out most sharply for its land size. At 10,507 square feet, it ranks in the top 1% within Windsor Park and the top 5% citywide—a genuinely unusual find in an established neighbourhood. The lot is roughly 60% larger than the typical property on the same street.
The home itself is 1,095 square feet of living space, which is above average for Halliday Bay (top 15%) but slightly below the Winnipeg average. It was built in 1960, which puts it in line with much of the surrounding area—neither notably old nor noticeably renovated compared to its neighbours.
The assessed value (property tax base) ranks first on the street and in the top 8% of the community, reflecting both the land premium and the home's position relative to similar properties.
Where the appeal lies: The value here is primarily in the land. Buyers who want a large, private lot in a mature, mid-century neighbourhood—without paying for a oversized house they don't need—will find this compelling. It's also worth noting that the street itself has strong relative consistency: Halliday Bay appears to be a pocket of above-average properties within Windsor Park, which isn't necessarily uniform. This property is at the top of that pocket.
Who it would suit: Homeowners looking to renovate or rebuild on a generous site. Investors or flippers who see potential in updating a 1960s floor plan. Families who want yard space in a settled area of Winnipeg without moving to newer subdivisions on the outskirts. Less suited to someone wanting a move-in-ready modern home or a compact lot with low maintenance.
Five Possible FAQs
1. Is the house itself dated, or has it been updated?
The data doesn't include specifics on renovations. What's clear is that the home was built in 1960 and falls in line with the street's average age—meaning it's likely similar in condition to neighbouring properties unless noted otherwise. A viewing would be needed to assess the level of updating.
2. Why is the assessed value so high compared to other homes on the street?
The assessment reflects both the home and land. Given that this property has the largest lot on Halliday Bay and is in the top 1% for land size in the community, the assessed value is driven primarily by land rather than the structure itself.
3. How does the living space compare to other homes I might look at in Winnipeg?
It's slightly smaller than the citywide average for comparable homes (1,095 sqft vs. 1,342 sqft). That said, within Windsor Park, it's very close to the neighbourhood average. So it's not unusually small for the area, but it is smaller than what you'd typically find in newer or more affluent parts of the city.
4. Is this a good candidate for a tear-down and rebuild?
Given the land size and its top rankings for lot value, it could be. The property is in a mature area with consistent housing stock, which may come with zoning or development considerations. Anyone considering a rebuild should check local bylaws, setback requirements, and whether the neighbourhood has any heritage or lot-splitting restrictions.
5. What's the street like compared to the broader neighbourhood?
Halliday Bay appears to be a stronger pocket within Windsor Park. The property ranks first on the street for assessed value and land size, and the street as a whole has above-average homes relative to the community. That said, the community itself sits near the middle of the citywide range for most metrics—so it's a solid, mid-tier area with a standout lot rather than an elite neighbourhood across the board.
