155 Wildwood C Park – Property Summary

Overview & Ideal Buyer Profile

This 2,030 sqft home on a 7,196 sqft lot offers unusually generous living space for the area. It ranks in the top 10% citywide for living area, and top 8% on its own street—meaning most nearby homes are notably smaller. The assessed value of $543k sits above the street average ($499.9k) but slightly below the neighborhood average ($568.2k), suggesting the price reflects the home's size advantage without overshooting local expectations.

Built in 1947, this is one of the older homes in the area and one of the oldest on the street. For context, the citywide median year built is 1966, and most homes in Wildwood date from around 1950. The land area is average for the street and neighborhood, but above average citywide.

The property's main appeal is space per dollar. Buyers who want a larger floor plan in an established, older neighborhood without paying a premium for a newer build will find this option compelling. It suits someone who values interior square footage over a newer construction date, and who is comfortable with the character and maintenance considerations of a mid-century home. The assessed value being close to the neighborhood average—despite the larger size—could also appeal to value-conscious buyers keeping an eye on property tax and resale benchmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living area compare to other homes in Wildwood?
It's well above average. On this street, it ranks #3 out of 36 homes (top 8%). The typical home here has 1,450 sqft of living space, so this property offers roughly 40% more room. Even against the broader neighborhood average of 1,657 sqft, it's significantly larger.

2. Why is the assessed value lower than the neighborhood average if the house is bigger?
The neighborhood average (568.2k) includes a mix of newer and more recently renovated homes, which often command higher assessments per square foot. This property's older construction year (1947) and potentially original or less updated finishes could bring its per-sqft value down. The lot size is also smaller than the Wildwood average (9,032 sqft vs. 7,196 sqft), which may offset the living area advantage in the overall assessment.

3. Is being built in 1947 a concern compared to newer homes in Winnipeg?
It depends on what you're looking for. Citywide, this home is older than about 76% of properties. That means systems (roof, furnace, windows, electrical, plumbing) may be original or need updating. However, older homes often use higher-quality lumber and feature unique detailing. The upside is that the street and neighborhood averages are themselves from the 1948–1950 era, so you're not an outlier locally—many homes in Wildwood share a similar construction period.

4. How does the lot size affect the property's usability?
At 7,196 sqft, the lot is average for the street but smaller than typical Wildwood lots (9,032 sqft). This means more of the property value comes from the house itself rather than the land. For buyers who want a manageable yard without excessive upkeep, this is a practical size. It's still above the citywide average (6,570 sqft), so it offers decent outdoor space by broader standards.

5. What do the rankings and "bars" in the data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property to "comparable homes" within each scope (street, neighborhood, city). A rank of #3 out of 36 on the street means only two homes have a larger living area. The bar fill shows the percentage of peers you outperform—so full bars indicate a strong relative position. The color tiers (red, blue, amber, gray) are a quick visual guide: red typically signals top-tier performance, while gray is below average. All comparisons use a median benchmark for that specific group, not strictly the mathematical average.
