2269 Gallagher Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Who It Suits
This is a 648 sqft home built in 1956, sitting on a 2,527 sqft lot in the Weston neighbourhood of Winnipeg. Its assessed value is $213,000.
What stands out here is the gap between size and value. The living area is notably small—ranking in the bottom 2% citywide and bottom 9% on its own street. The lot is also compact, especially compared to city averages. Yet the assessed value ranks in the top 29% on the street and top 24% in the neighbourhood. This suggests the value is tied more to location, land use potential, or structural condition than to square footage. Built in 1956, it’s older than most homes citywide but newer than many on its street and in Weston, which leans toward pre-war housing stock.
The appeal is pragmatic rather than emotional. This is not a home for someone seeking space or a large yard. It suits a buyer who prioritizes affordability within a mature, inner-ring neighbourhood, or someone interested in a property with a lower purchase price and potential for value-add improvements—though that potential would need to be verified in person. It may also work for downsizers or single-person households who want a standalone home without paying for extra square footage they wouldn’t use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes in the area?
It's above average on both the street and neighbourhood levels. On Gallagher Avenue, the average assessed value is $187,300; this property is at $213,000. In Weston, the neighbourhood average is $184,700. Citywide, the average for comparable homes is much higher at $390,100, so the property falls below that.
2. Is the small living area a red flag or just a feature of older homes?
It’s typical for the era and location. Many homes in Weston were built smaller, and this one is below even that standard at 648 sqft. But the ranking shows it's an outlier even on its own street, where the average is 994 sqft. It’s not necessarily a problem—it just narrows the pool of buyers who’d find it practical.
3. What’s the lot actually like?
At 2,527 sqft, the lot is below the neighbourhood average of 3,269 sqft and well below the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. It ranks in the top 32% on the street, so it’s not unusually small for Gallagher Avenue, but it is small relative to most Winnipeg lots. Expect a modest front and back yard, not a sprawling lawn.
4. How old is the house, and does that affect its marketability?
Built in 1956, it’s around average age citywide but older than the typical home in Weston, where the average build year is 1937. Being newer than many neighbours can be a plus for structural integrity and systems, but it’s still a home that may need updates depending on maintenance history.
5. What data backs up these rankings, and can I see more detail?
The rankings are based on comparable homes within the same street, neighbourhood, and city, using assessed value, living area, land area, and year built. The analysis page includes a map that lets you compare these metrics side-by-side with nearby properties. That’s the best way to get a fuller picture before visiting.
