127 Langside Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1906 home with 2,264 square feet of living space on a 3,026-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s West Broadway neighbourhood. Its standout feature is size. Among all comparable homes citywide, it ranks in the top 6% for living area—well above the city average of 1,342 square feet. On its own street, it’s in the top 8% for square footage.
The assessed value sits at $298,000, which is above average for Langside Street (top 19%) but around the middle for West Broadway. Citywide, it falls below the average home value, which is worth noting: you’re getting significantly more space than the typical city home for a price that’s below the city median.
The lot is modest for the neighbourhood. While it’s slightly above average for the street, it’s below average for the broader West Broadway area and well below the citywide average lot size. The year built (1906) places it among older homes on the street and in the area, but it’s older than roughly 98% of homes citywide.
Appeal & who it suits: This property likely appeals to buyers who prioritize interior space over yard size or a brand-new build. It also suits someone who wants a larger home in a central neighbourhood without paying central-neighbourhood prices. The age suggests potential for character details, but also the need for upkeep typical of a 118-year-old house. Value-conscious buyers or renovators may see opportunity here—the assessed value is modest relative to the living area, and the street-level rankings are stronger than the neighbourhood-level ones, hinting at a micro-location where the home may stand out.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
On Langside Street, it’s among the larger homes (top 8%). In West Broadway, it’s still above average but less exceptional (top 30%). Citywide, it’s unusually large—bigger than 94% of comparable homes.
2. Is the assessed value a good deal?
That depends on your benchmark. The home is valued above the street average ($225K) but below the city average ($390K). Considering the size, the value per square foot is low relative to the city as a whole. However, West Broadway’s average value is close to this home’s number, so it’s not notably cheap for its immediate area.
3. What does the age of the home mean practically?
Built in 1906, it’s older than the vast majority of Winnipeg homes. This often means solid construction and original details, but systems (plumbing, electrical, insulation, roof) may be original or outdated. A thorough home inspection and a sense of what renovations have been done are important.
4. Will the small lot be an issue?
It depends on what you want. The lot is typical for the street but smaller than most in West Broadway and much smaller than the city average. If you want a large garden, room for an addition, or off-street parking for multiple cars, you may find it tight. If you want a manageable yard with a large house in a walkable neighbourhood, it’s likely fine.
5. How does this property rank compared to others I might be considering?
Use the neighbourhood map analysis (linked on the full property page) to see this home side-by-side with nearby houses. You can compare year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size directly. The rankings here show where it stands—strongest for interior size, weakest for lot size and citywide value—but seeing neighbours helps make the trade-offs clearer.
