743 Manitoba Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1909-built home with 765 square feet of living space on a 3,578-square-foot lot. What stands out immediately is the lot size: it ranks in the top 11% within the William Whyte neighbourhood, meaning the yard is significantly larger than most nearby properties. The assessed value sits at $148,000, which is roughly average for the neighbourhood but well below the citywide average of $390,000.
The living area is compact—smaller than most homes on the street, in the neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. That’s not necessarily a drawback, but it means the appeal here isn’t about square footage. The trade-off is a generous outdoor space on a street where lots tend to be smaller. The year built places it among older homes citywide, but it’s typical for the area.
This property would suit buyers who value outdoor space over interior square footage, or who are looking for a smaller home with room to garden, add a garage, or possibly expand. It also fits someone comfortable with an older home who wants to avoid the higher prices of newer or larger properties. First-time buyers, renovators, or those looking for a lower-entry price point in an established Winnipeg neighbourhood may find it worth a look.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the living area compare to similar homes in the neighbourhood?
It’s below average. At 765 square feet, it’s smaller than about 86% of comparable homes in William Whyte, where the average is 1,158 square feet. On Manitoba Avenue itself, the average is 1,063 square feet. So if interior space is a priority, this is on the compact side.
2. Is the assessed value in line with neighbourhood prices?
Roughly, yes. The assessed value of $148,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of $149,100, ranking in the top 42%. On the street it’s below the street average of $216,600, but that suggests some variability in the immediate area. Citywide, it’s well below average, which reflects the neighbourhood’s relative affordability.
3. What’s the lot like compared to others nearby?
It’s one of the larger lots in the neighbourhood. The 3,578-square-foot lot ranks in the top 11% within William Whyte, where the average is 3,277 square feet. On the street, it’s about average (top 49%). Citywide, lots tend to be much larger, but that’s typical for Winnipeg as a whole.
4. How old is the house, and is that unusual for the area?
Built in 1909, it’s older than the street average of 1945 and the citywide average of 1966. But within William Whyte, the neighbourhood average is 1927, so a home from 1909 isn’t out of place. It ranks near the middle of the pack for the area.
5. What does “rank” mean in these comparisons?
The ranks compare this property to other comparable homes within the same geographic scope. A lower rank number means it outperforms more homes. For example, a rank of 184 out of 1,707 in the neighbourhood for land area means it’s larger than roughly 89% of similar properties in that area. The system uses a median benchmark for each category.
