Key Characteristics and Appeal
This is a 676-square-foot property built in 1962, located at 1-944 Archibald Street in the Windsor Park area. Compared to similar homes on the same street and within the neighbourhood, it ranks in the top 6% for size, assessed value, and build year. However, when measured against the city of Winnipeg as a whole, it falls below average—the median citywide home is roughly 1,042 square feet and valued around $256,000. This means the property offers relatively good value within its immediate area without commanding a premium on the broader market.
The appeal lies in its strong local positioning: it’s one of the larger and more valuable homes on its street, in a neighbourhood where the average is closer to 636 square feet. That suggests a more spacious option than what’s typical nearby, without the cost of a new build or a citywide median home. The 1962 construction year, while older than most citywide, is consistent with the street and area—so it’s not an outlier in terms of age.
This property would suit buyers who want a home that stands out in its immediate surroundings—perhaps first-time homeowners, downsizers, or investors looking for a solid entry point in a mature neighbourhood. It’s less suited for someone seeking a larger home by citywide standards, or for those who prioritize modern construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property’s size compare to others nearby?
It’s larger than average for both Archibald Street and Windsor Park. Among 16 comparable homes in each of those groups, it ranks first. The typical nearby home is about 636 square feet, so you’re getting roughly 40 extra square feet.
2. Why is the assessed value lower than the citywide average?
The citywide average of $256,000 includes many newer and larger homes across all of Winnipeg. This property is in an area where values are generally lower, so its $144,000 assessment reflects local market conditions, not the city as a whole.
3. Is a 1962 build considered old?
It depends on the context. On Archibald Street and in Windsor Park, most similar homes were built around the same time, so it’s typical for the area. Across Winnipeg, the median build year is 1990, which makes this home older than about 92% of city homes. That also means it may have older systems or require more maintenance.
4. How are the rankings and progress bars calculated?
The rankings compare this property to others in three groups: same street, same neighbourhood, and the entire city. The progress bars show roughly what percentage of comparable homes it outperforms in size, value, or age. Colours (red, blue, amber, grey) indicate performance bands, with “average” being a middle reference point.
5. Can I compare this property to nearby standalone homes?
Yes. The “open surrounding map analysis” feature lets you compare this home to nearby single-family houses on factors like size, assessed value, lot size, and build year. That can give a clearer picture of how it fits into the broader area, beyond just its immediate street.
