Property Overview: 453 Lindenwood Drive W, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated Linden Woods home, built in 1995, presents a compelling blend of space, location, and value. Its primary appeal lies in its generous living area of 2,398 sq ft, which ranks within the top 19% on its street and an elite top 4% city-wide, offering significantly more interior space than the average Winnipeg home. While the lot size is more modest relative to the immediate neighbourhood, the home itself is a substantial offering.
The property’s assessed value of $620,000 positions it as an above-average investment city-wide, suggesting strong foundational value. A key, less obvious perspective is that a home of this size in a desirable area like Linden Woods, but on a standard lot, can represent a "sweet spot"—it offers the interior room families seek without the premium price or maintenance burden of the largest estate lots. It last sold between $550k-$600k in 2020, indicating a history of solid value retention.
This home would ideally suit growing families or professionals seeking established community amenities and excellent schools, who prioritize spacious, modernized interiors over extensive yard work. It’s also a sensible choice for value-conscious buyers looking for above-average square footage in a premium neighbourhood without paying the absolute peak price point.

3. Why is there a range for the 2020 sold price, and how can I get the exact figure?

4. The home was built in 1995. What should I consider?
A 1995 build is newer than most homes in Winnipeg (top 20% city-wide). Buyers should still plan for a standard inspection to assess the condition of major systems like roof, windows, and HVAC, which may be nearing or have undergone updates.
5. How does the assessed value relate to market value?
The $620,000 assessment is for municipal tax purposes and is a lagging indicator. Market value is determined by current buyer demand. The assessment being above the city average suggests a solid tax base, but the final sale price will be set by the market.
