Property Overview: 139 Lindenwood Drive W, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is a well-established property in the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood, built in 1985. Its primary appeal lies in its generous scale and strong value positioning. With 2,398 square feet of living space, it ranks in the top 19% for size on its own street and an elite top 4% citywide, offering significantly more room than the average Winnipeg home. The lot size of 6,715 sqft is comfortably above the city average, providing ample outdoor space.
The home’s assessed value places it in the top 5% citywide, yet it sits around the average for the Linden Woods area, suggesting you get a substantial property for a value that is competitive within this sought-after community. A sale in the $600k-$650k range in 2023 aligns with this premium positioning. While the home’s age is older than many on its street, this often translates to a more mature, established streetscape and larger lot proportions compared to newer infill developments.
This property would best suit buyers prioritizing space and location over a brand-new build. It’s ideal for a family seeking a move-in ready home in a top-tier neighbourhood with room to grow, or for value-conscious buyers looking to acquire above-average square footage in a premium area without the premium price of a newly constructed home.
