145 Campbell Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,120-square-foot home built in 1919 on a 4,497-square-foot lot. It sits on Campbell Street in the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood of Winnipeg. The current assessed value is $427,000.
Where the appeal lies: The property is priced below the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood average by a wide margin—$427,000 versus $805,600—making it one of the more affordable entries into an otherwise expensive area. Its street-level value ranking (top 40%) is noticeably stronger than its living area ranking (top 60%), suggesting the price reflects location more than square footage. The lot, while smaller than the neighbourhood average, is still close to the citywide median.
What it would suit: This home is likely a fit for buyers who want access to the Wellington Crescent area but are priced out of its larger, pricier properties. It may appeal to someone open to a renovation or willing to trade interior space for a desirable street address. The 1919 build means character details are possible, but it also comes with older-home realities—lower energy efficiency, potential maintenance, and systems that may need updating. It is less suited to buyers seeking a move-in-ready home or those who prioritize generous square footage or a large yard.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On Campbell Street, the $427,000 assessment is slightly below the street average of $436,900 (top 40%). Across the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood, the average jumps to $805,600—so this property is roughly half the neighbourhood median. Citywide, it ranks in the top third at $390,100 average.
2. Is the house small for the area?
Yes. At 1,120 square feet, it is below the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood average of 2,343 square feet. On Campbell Street itself, the average is 1,299 square feet, so it is somewhat small even by local standards. Citywide, the average for comparable homes is 1,342 square feet, putting it slightly below that as well.
3. How big is the lot, and is that typical?
The land area is 4,497 square feet. On Campbell Street, the average lot is 5,348 square feet, so it is smaller than most nearby properties. The neighbourhood average is much larger at 9,488 square feet. Citywide, the average is 6,570 square feet, so this lot is on the smaller side overall but not unusually so for Winnipeg.
4. When was the house built, and what does that mean in practical terms?
Built in 1919, this is one of the older homes on Campbell Street (top 96% oldest) and in the city (top 88% oldest). Expect original construction materials, likely plaster walls, and possibly knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized plumbing that may need replacement. Renovations may or may not have been done—verify before buying. Historic homes in this area often have heritage protection, so check if any exterior alterations are restricted.
5. What does the "Top X%" ranking actually measure?
The ranking compares this property to similar homes in three scopes: the same street, the same neighbourhood, and the entire city. For land area and living area, larger numbers rank better. For year built, newer ranks better. For assessed value, higher ranks better. The percentage indicates what share of homes this property outperforms. "Avg" refers to the median among comparable homes in that group. Rankings do not account for condition, upgrades, or interior layout—only raw data points.
