Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,358 sqft home on Sunnyside Boulevard in Woodhaven, Winnipeg, sits on a 7,487 sqft lot and was built in 1950. Its assessed value is $364,000.
The property’s main appeal is its land. Compared to the rest of Winnipeg, the lot size ranks in the top 14%, meaning you get more outdoor space than most homes citywide. The house itself is solidly average on the street and in the neighbourhood—neither oversized nor small, and built in a postwar era that tends to attract buyers looking for character, mature trees, or room to renovate. The assessed value is slightly below the Woodhaven average but close to the city median, which may indicate a relatively affordable entry point for the area.
This home would suit someone who values outdoor space over a recently updated interior. Think buyers who garden, want room for a workshop or garage addition, or are comfortable taking on cosmetic or structural updates over time. It also fits those who want to live in a quieter, established Winnipeg neighbourhood without paying a premium for a fully modernized house. It’s less suited for anyone seeking a move-in-ready home or a compact, low-maintenance lot.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the property’s age compare to other homes in Woodhaven?
The home was built in 1950, which is slightly newer than the street average (1941) but older than the Woodhaven average (1953). Citywide, it’s older than about 72% of homes. This is typical for the area—many neighbouring properties date from the 1940s and 1950s.
2. Is the assessed value reasonable for this neighbourhood?
At $364,000, it’s below the Woodhaven average of $422,000 but close to the city median of $390,000. The home ranks in the middle of its street (top 31%) but lower within the broader community (top 57%), suggesting it offers a relatively affordable entry point for the area, especially given the larger lot.
3. What does “land area ranks in the top 14% citywide” mean practically?
It means the lot is larger than roughly 86% of residential properties in Winnipeg. Compared to the street and neighbourhood averages, the lot is slightly smaller (7,487 sqft vs. 8,303 and 9,926 sqft), but citywide, most homes sit on smaller parcels. This could be useful for additions, a detached garage, or simply more private outdoor space than usual for a city home.
4. Does a 1950 build generally require more upkeep?
Yes, compared to a newer home, a 1950s house may have older electrical, plumbing, or insulation. Many homes from this era have been updated to varying degrees, but buyers should factor in potential updates to windows, roofing, or mechanical systems. That said, the structure itself is often solid, and the lot size may compensate for any needed work.
5. Why does the property rank differently on the street vs. the neighbourhood?
Street rankings compare only the 39 homes on Sunnyside Boulevard, while neighbourhood rankings include 345 properties across Woodhaven. For example, this home’s lot is mid-range on its street (top 69%) but well above average citywide. This just reflects that Sunnyside Boulevard has generally larger lots than the city norm, while Woodhaven as a whole has even larger ones.
