65 Queenston Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1926 home in Winnipeg’s Wellington Crescent area offers 2,016 sqft of living space on a 4,300 sqft lot. Its standout feature is assessed value: at $773,000, it ranks in the top 4% on its street and top 3% citywide—well above the street average of $494,600 and city average of $390,100. The living area is also strong for its street (top 19%) and citywide (top 10%), though it falls slightly below the neighbourhood average of 2,343 sqft.
The property’s main trade-off is age and land. Built in 1926, it’s older than most homes on the street (average 1947) and the city (average 1966). The 4,300 sqft lot is below average for both its street (4,997 sqft) and neighbourhood (9,488 sqft)—so outdoor space is more compact than what many nearby homes offer. Within Wellington Crescent, the home sits in the middle percentile for value and size, meaning it’s not an outlier for the area but offers stronger value when compared citywide.
Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize a prime location with above-average living space and strong value retention—but don’t need a large yard. The older build suggests potential for character features, but also likely requires updates or ongoing maintenance. It’s a fit for someone who values a well-ranked asset over maximum square footage or a newer construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On Queenston Street, this home’s assessed value of $773,000 ranks 16th out of 414 properties (top 4%), well above the street average of $494,600. Within the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood, it’s closer to the middle—ranked 194 out of 548 (top 35%) against a neighbourhood average of $805,600.
2. Is the living space considered large for the area?
It’s above average for both the street and city. The home is ranked 77th out of 414 on Queenston Street (top 19%), where the average is 1,598 sqft. Citywide, it lands in the top 10% (ranked 20,343 out of 194,458). However, it’s slightly smaller than the Wellington Crescent neighbourhood average of 2,343 sqft.
3. How does the lot size compare, and should that be a concern?
The 4,300 sqft lot is smaller than typical for the street (4,997 sqft) and significantly below the neighbourhood average (9,488 sqft). Citywide, it’s around average. This is a trade-off to consider if you want generous outdoor space, but it’s not unusual for older, centrally located properties.
4. What should I know about the age of this home?
Built in 1926, it’s older than 91% of homes on the same street and 85% citywide—meaning many nearby houses are newer. Older homes often have solid construction and character details, but may need updates to systems (electrical, plumbing, insulation). A thorough inspection is recommended.
5. What does the “ranking” data actually tell me?
These rankings compare this property to “comparable homes” within three scopes: the same street, the neighbourhood (Wellington Crescent), and the entire city (Winnipeg). A higher rank (smaller percentile number) means the home outperforms more of its peers in that category—whether that’s living area, assessed value, newer build, or larger lot. It’s a useful way to gauge how the property stacks up locally and regionally.
