23 Canberra Road, Windsor Park
Property Overview
This is a 1,200-square-foot home built in 1960, sitting on a 3,025-square-foot lot in Windsor Park. What makes it interesting is how it compares to nearby properties.
The living area is the standout feature. On Canberra Road itself, this home ranks in the top 3% for size—it's genuinely spacious for the street. The neighbourhood and citywide comparisons are less remarkable, but the street-level data tells you this is one of the larger homes on its block.
The assessed value tells a different story. At $223,000, it's below average for the street (ranked 88th percentile, meaning only about 12% of homes are valued lower), well below the neighbourhood average ($354,200), and below the city average ($390,100). For a buyer, this could mean either an opportunity or a reflection of condition—the data alone doesn't say which.
The lot is modest: 3,025 square feet. That's smaller than typical for Windsor Park (where the average is over 6,000 square feet) and smaller than the city average. It's about average for its specific street.
The build year—1960—is right in line with the neighbourhood and street. Nothing unusual there.
Who this might suit: A buyer who prioritizes interior space over yard size, and who's comfortable with a home that's priced below neighbourhood norms—whether that signals a fixer-upper or simply an undervalued property in a more expensive area. It would also suit someone who values being on a street with generally larger homes, rather than the neighbourhood average.
Five Questions Buyers Often Ask
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
On Canberra Road itself, this home is in the top 3% for size—meaning it's among the largest on the street. Compared to the broader Windsor Park neighbourhood, it's above average but not exceptional. Citywide, it sits right around the middle.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the neighbourhood average?
The assessed value of $223,000 is well below the Windsor Park average of $354,200 and the street average of $252,800. This could reflect the home's condition, its smaller lot size, or simply that the assessment hasn't kept up with recent sales. A buyer would want to see the actual condition and recent comparable sales to understand whether this is a gap worth pursuing.
3. Is the lot size a limitation?
It depends on what you want. At 3,025 square feet, the lot is smaller than typical for Windsor Park, where many lots are double that size. But it's around average for Canberra Road itself. If you're looking for a large yard or room for an expansion, this likely isn't it. If you prefer less outdoor maintenance, this could be a plus.
4. How old is the home, and what should I know about a 1960s build?
The home was built in 1960, which is typical for the street and neighbourhood. Buyers should expect systems and materials from that era—original windows, insulation standards, and possibly older electrical or plumbing. These can be updated, but it's worth factoring into the budget.
5. What's the neighbourhood like?
Windsor Park is an established area with a mix of home sizes and ages. This property sits on a street where homes tend to be larger than the neighbourhood average, which means the immediate surroundings may feel different from the broader area. The ranking data suggests Windsor Park is an above-average neighbourhood citywide for living area, but the assessed values here are lower than many parts of the city—worth exploring in person.
