60 Heather Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,087-square-foot home built in 1960, sitting on a 6,175-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Windsor Park neighbourhood. The property’s main appeal lies in its assessed value relative to the street and area. Ranked in the top 4% on Heather Road and top 6% in the neighbourhood, it suggests a higher assessed value than most nearby homes—potentially reflecting updates, a favourable location within the street, or lot characteristics not captured by square footage alone.
The living area and lot size are around the neighbourhood average, while the lot is notably larger than the citywide median (top 27% citywide). The home’s age is also average for the area, built in 1960 when much of Windsor Park was developing.
This property would suit a buyer who values a solid, mid-century home in an established neighbourhood, and who sees the higher assessment as a sign of the home’s comparative standing—whether due to condition, location, or lot—rather than just raw size. It may appeal to those who prefer an average-sized home on a decent lot, rather than a larger house on a smaller parcel. It is less suited for buyers seeking a large, newer home or a fixer-upper priced below area averages.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes?
The assessed value is significantly higher than the average on Heather Road (top 4%) and in Windsor Park (top 6%), but closer to the citywide average (top 36%). This suggests the property is valued noticeably above its immediate neighbours but not dramatically above the broader Winnipeg market for comparable homes.
2. Is the living area considered small for the neighbourhood?
Not particularly. At 1,087 sq ft, it sits just above the Heather Road average (1,042 sq ft) and is almost exactly the Windsor Park average (1,091 sq ft). It is below the citywide average (1,342 sq ft), but that’s typical for central neighbourhoods with older housing stock.
3. How large is the lot compared to others nearby?
The lot is 6,175 sq ft—a bit larger than the average on Heather Road (5,358 sq ft) and in Windsor Park (6,030 sq ft). Citywide, it performs better, ranking in the top 27%, meaning it’s bigger than about three-quarters of comparable city lots.
4. What does “top 4% on the street” actually mean for resale?
It means only 3 of the 89 comparable homes on Heather Road have a higher assessed value. That doesn’t guarantee a higher resale price, but it suggests the home has attributes (upgrades, a corner lot, better condition) that the city assessor has valued more highly than most others on the street.
5. Is the home’s age a concern?
The home was built in 1960, which is typical for Windsor Park. Being average for both the street and neighbourhood means it’s not unusually old or new. Buyers should still expect the maintenance typical of a 60+ year old home—roof, mechanicals, windows—but the average ranking indicates it’s not a standout aging issue relative to neighbours.
