1501 Logan Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 980 sqft home, built in 1945, sits on a notably large lot of 4,117 sqft in the Weston area of Winnipeg. Its standout feature is the land: well above average for both the street and the neighbourhood. The living area is close to typical for the area but falls short of citywide norms, and the assessed value of $187,000 is similarly modest compared to Winnipeg as a whole.
The appeal here is practical rather than flashy. A buyer gets a home on a street and in a neighbourhood where values are consistent and predictable. The large lot offers room for a garage, garden, expansion, or simply more outdoor space than most nearby properties provide. The house itself is a postwar build—older than the city average but not unusual for the area.
This property would suit a buyer who wants to be in an established, stable part of town, values outdoor space, and is comfortable with a home that needs updating or is already well-maintained for its age. It’s less suited to someone seeking a large, modern interior or a high-value resale in the near future. Thoughtfully, the combination of an average house on an above-average lot can also appeal to someone who sees the potential to add square footage later, without paying a premium for a finished larger home now.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property’s lot size compare to others nearby?
It’s above average for both the street (ranked 59th out of 219) and the neighbourhood (ranked 361st out of 1,736). Most comparable homes on Logan Avenue have about 3,664 sqft of land; this one has 4,117 sqft. That extra space is a key advantage.
2. Is the assessed value in line with the market?
Yes, it’s very close to both the street average ($187,800) and the neighbourhood average ($184,700). At $187,000, it’s not a standout bargain or overpriced relative to its immediate comparables. Compared to the citywide average of $390,100, it’s well below, reflecting the older housing stock and smaller interior.
3. How old is the house, and is that typical for the area?
Built in 1945, it’s slightly older than the street average (1949) but newer than the neighbourhood average (1937). So it fits right in locally. It is older than most citywide homes, which average 1966. That said, pre-1950s homes in Weston are common, and buyers in this area usually expect some original character or need for updates.
4. What’s the living area like—is it cramped?
At 980 sqft, it’s a bit bigger than the street and neighbourhood averages (938 and 936 sqft). For a couple or small family, it’s a comfortable size. But compared to the citywide average of 1,342 sqft, it’s small. The trade-off is that you get more land for your money.
5. Why is the citywide rank so low for living area and value?
Winnipeg has a wide range of housing, including newer subdivisions with much larger homes and higher assessments. This property is modest by those standards. However, the street and neighbourhood rankings show it’s very typical for its immediate area—meaning you’re buying a home that fits its local market well, not an outlier.
