Here is a clean, standalone summary of 91 Lindsay Street, structured into two main sections.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This 1,100 sqft home on Lindsay Street, built in 1952, sits on a notably large 6,558 sqft lot. Its core appeal lies in its land value and position within the city. While the house itself is modest in size and sits below the average for its immediate Wellington Crescent neighbourhood—where homes are much larger and more expensive—it performs very well against citywide and street-level benchmarks. The assessed value of $459k is above average for Lindsay Street and Winnipeg as a whole, suggesting a more affordable entry point into a high-demand area.
The property suits a buyer who prioritizes location and land over turnkey living space. It is ideal for someone willing to renovate or rebuild on a generous lot in a desirable part of the city, rather than buying a finished house in a less central area. It is less suited to buyers seeking a large, move-in-ready home comparable to its neighbours, as the property’s size and value rank low within the Wellington Crescent pocket. The real opportunity is the land: it is in the top 11% for lot size on the street and top 22% citywide, offering potential that the current structure doesn't fully reflect.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the house size compare to other homes on the street?
The living area is close to the street average. It ranks #145 out of 286 homes on Lindsay Street, putting it in the top 51%. It is not unusually small for the immediate block, but it is significantly smaller than the average home in the broader Wellington Crescent neighbourhood.
2. Is the assessed value a good deal for this area?
Relative to the street and the city, yes. The $459k assessment is above the street average of $423.8k and ranks in the top 27% citywide. However, it is well below the neighbourhood average of $805.6k, which reflects the much larger homes nearby. The value is in the land and location, not the structure itself.
3. What is the lot size, and why does it matter?
The land area is 6,558 sqft. On Lindsay Street, this ranks in the top 11%—meaning most nearby homes sit on smaller plots. Citywide, it also ranks in the top 22%. This generous lot is the single strongest feature of the property and is what drives its above-average assessed value.
4. How does the age of the house compare to others in the area?
The 1952 build date is typical for Lindsay Street (average 1955) and much newer than the neighbourhood average of 1940. Citywide, it is slightly older than average (1966). While not a historic home, it is well-established and sits among older, often grander properties.
5. What does the rank “Top 93%” in the neighbourhood mean?
That rank is for living area within Wellington Crescent. It means the home is smaller than about 93% of homes in that neighbourhood group. This is not a negative reflection of the property itself, but a clear indicator that the house is a smaller, more modest option in an area known for larger homes. The strength of the property lies elsewhere—specifically, its land and street-level value.
