11 Durham Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This single-family home in Windsor Park offers 1,288 square feet of living space on a 6,298-square-foot lot, built in 1960. The assessed value is $374,000.
The property stands out most at the street and neighbourhood level. On Durham Bay, it ranks in the top 15% for living area and top 13% for year built—meaning it's one of the larger, more recently constructed homes on the block. Within Windsor Park, it ranks top 11% for living area and top 27% for assessed value, indicating solid value relative to nearby homes. Citywide, it falls near the middle of the pack in most metrics, which is typical for an established Winnipeg neighbourhood.
The lot is smaller than other homes on the same street (ranked 31 out of 40), but larger than average for Windsor Park and the city as a whole. This suggests the street has unusually generous lots, so buyers comparing strictly within the immediate area may notice less yard space than neighbours. However, from a broader perspective, the lot is still above average.
Appeal lies in the combination of above-average interior space and a desirable street ranking within a stable, older neighbourhood. The home is well-positioned among its immediate peers without being overbuilt for the area.
Best suited for buyers who prioritize interior square footage and want a home that holds its own on a solid residential street. It may also appeal to those who prefer a more manageable lot size—large enough for outdoor use, but not the maintenance burden of the largest lots on the block. First-time buyers or families looking for a balanced, modestly above-average property in an established area would likely find it a practical fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
At $374,000, the assessed value is around average for Durham Bay itself (top 40%), but above average for the wider Windsor Park neighbourhood (top 27%). This means you're paying somewhat more than the neighbourhood median, but the larger living area helps justify it.
2. Is the lot size a concern?
Only if you're comparing strictly to other homes on the same street, where the average lot is nearly 7,000 sqft. Against the neighbourhood and city averages, this lot is above average. It's a trade-off: less yard than some immediate neighbours, but still generous by most standards.
3. How old is the home, and is that typical for the area?
Built in 1960, this home is newer than most on its street (top 13%) and roughly on par with the Windsor Park average (1961). Citywide, the average comparable home was built in 1966, so it's slightly older than the citywide norm but very much in line with its immediate surroundings.
4. Does the ranking system account for property condition or upgrades?
No. Rankings are based solely on raw data—living area, lot size, year built, and assessed value. They don't reflect renovations, interior finishes, or overall condition. Two homes with identical square footage could feel very different depending on how they've been maintained.
5. What does "neighbourhood level" mean in this context?
The neighbourhood level refers to the broader Windsor Park area, which includes 3,307 comparable properties. Rankings at this level give a better sense of how the home fits within the local market than street-level data alone, since some streets have very few homes for comparison.
