235 Wildwood A Park

235 Wildwood A Park – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,152 sqft home built in 1947, sitting on a 7,156 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Wildwood area. Its appeal is a bit of a trade-off. The house itself is smaller than most on its street (ranked 25th out of 30) and in the neighbourhood, but it’s almost exactly average for the city as a whole. The lot is tight for Wildwood—well below the typical 9,000 sqft found nearby—but it’s actually larger than most citywide properties. The assessed value of $489,000 tracks closely with the street average and is well above the citywide average, reflecting the neighbourhood’s desirability rather than the home’s size.

What stands out is the age. Built in 1947, it’s older than most homes in Winnipeg, but within Wildwood it’s actually slightly newer than many of its neighbours. That means you get the character of a mid-century home in an established area, without being the oldest on the block.

Who this suits: Buyers who value location and lot size over square footage. Someone looking for a smaller, older home in a well-regarded neighbourhood, with room to expand or renovate. Not ideal if you need a large interior or a newer build. A good fit for someone willing to invest in updates, or who simply prefers a compact, older house in a mature area.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others nearby?
It’s below average for Wildwood. The street average is 1,448 sqft, and the neighbourhood average is 1,657 sqft. Citywide, however, this home is right around the median of 1,342 sqft.

2. Is this considered a good lot size?
It depends on what you’re comparing. Within Wildwood, the lot is on the smaller side—the street average is 7,787 sqft, and the neighbourhood is 9,032 sqft. But compared to the rest of Winnipeg, where the average is 6,570 sqft, this lot is above average.

3. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes?
At $489,000, the value is right in line with other homes on this street (average $499,300). It’s slightly below the Wildwood neighbourhood average of $568,200, but significantly above the citywide average of $390,100. It’s ranked in the top 22% citywide for value.

4. Is the age of this home a concern?
The home was built in 1947, which makes it older than most across Winnipeg (the city average is 1966). But in Wildwood, it’s actually slightly newer than the neighbourhood average of 1950. Buyers should expect older construction, but it fits the character of the area well.

5. What does the “rank” data actually mean for decision-making?
The rankings show how this property stacks up against comparable homes at three levels: on its street, in the Wildwood neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. For example, a rank of 14/30 on the street for assessed value means it’s in the middle—not the cheapest or most expensive. A rank of 6/30 for year built means it’s one of the newer older homes in the area. Use these to see where the property stands out (citywide lot size, for instance) versus where it’s average or below (living area). They’re useful for context, not judgment.
