What Makes This Property Stand Out
This is a home where the numbers tell an interesting, slightly contradictory story. The living area is on the smaller side—913 square feet—ranking below average on its street, in the Windsor Park neighborhood, and across Winnipeg. For buyers who prioritize a compact, efficient footprint, this isn’t a drawback, but it’s worth noting if you’re used to more spacious interiors.
Where this property really punches above its weight is in the lot size and assessed value. The lot is 6,997 square feet, which is larger than most comparable homes on the street (top 13%) and within the neighborhood (top 13%). That extra land is a significant asset, especially for anyone looking for a generous yard, garden space, or future expansion potential (subject to zoning). The home was also built in 1960, making it the newest home on its street (top 3%) and around average for the neighborhood overall.
The assessed value of $402,000 is notably higher than the street and neighborhood averages (top 10% and top 8% respectively), but sits around the citywide average. This suggests the value is being driven more by the land and location than by the interior square footage.
Who it would suit: Buyers who value outdoor space and a solid location over a large interior. It’s a strong fit for someone who wants a home with character from 1960, on a good-sized lot in Windsor Park, and is willing to work with a smaller living area—or perhaps renovate or add on later. It may also appeal to investors or homeowners who see the land as the primary long-term value.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. The living area is 913 sqft—is that considered small for the area?
Yes. The average living area for comparable homes on this street is 1,196 sqft, and the neighborhood average is 1,091 sqft. Citywide, the average is 1,342 sqft. So this home is below average in all three comparisons. It’s a compact home, which can be a plus for low-maintenance living, but it’s smaller than most nearby houses.
2. The lot is nearly 7,000 sqft. How does that compare to other homes nearby?
Very favorably. It ranks in the top 13% on its street and in the neighborhood, and in the top 17% citywide. The average lot size on Echo Bay is about 6,343 sqft, so this property offers noticeably more outdoor space than most of its immediate neighbors.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the street average if the living area is smaller?
Assessed value considers multiple factors, not just square footage. In this case, the larger lot size and the fact that it’s one of the newest homes on the street (built 1960 vs. an average of 1956) are likely boosting the value. The home’s condition, finishes, and location within Windsor Park also play a role. The value is strong relative to the street and neighborhood, but sits right around the citywide average.
4. How does the home’s age compare to others in Windsor Park?
The home was built in 1960. That makes it the newest house on its street (top 3%), but it’s essentially average for the wider Windsor Park neighborhood (top 43%). Citywide, it’s also around average (top 58%). So it’s not unusually old or new for the area—it fits right into the mid-century character of the neighborhood.
5. Can I see how this property compares to others on a map?
Yes. There is a neighborhood analysis page available that allows you to view this home on a map alongside nearby houses, and compare year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size in detail. You can open that directly from the property page.
