Property Summary: 58 Arundel Road
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1955-built, single-family home at 58 Arundel Road offers 949 square feet of living space on a 5,499-square-foot lot. Its strongest point is its position on the street itself: it ranks first out of 51 homes on Arundel Road for living area (top 2%) and fourth for assessed value (top 8%). The lot is also above average for the street, coming in eighth. However, these strengths don't carry over to the broader Windsor Park neighborhood or Winnipeg as a whole, where the home sits below average in size and is older than many nearby properties (built in 1955 vs. a 1961 neighborhood average). Its assessed value of $344,000 is close to the neighborhood average but below the citywide norm. In short, this is a standout property on its own street—where space, value, and lot size compare favorably—but it's a more modest, older home within its wider area.
The appeal here is for a buyer who values a strong relative position within a specific, likely established street. Someone who wants a larger-than-average home and lot on their block, without paying a premium for a newer or larger property at the city level. A first-time buyer or small family looking for a solid, post-war home in a settled neighborhood could find this a practical fit. The land size is also worth noting: at 5,499 square feet, it's generous for the street and offers potential for landscaping or modest additions, though it's smaller than typical for the wider community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's size compare to others nearby?
On Arundel Road, it's the largest home by living area (949 sq ft, top 2%). But within the Windsor Park neighborhood, it's smaller than average (where typical homes are about 1,091 sq ft), and citywide it's also below the norm (1,342 sq ft). The lot is a similar story: above average for the street, below average for the neighborhood.
2. Is the assessed value of $344,000 a good deal?
Relative to its own street, yes—the value is above average. But it's very close to the Windsor Park average and below the citywide average of $390,000. That means the price reflects the home's stronger standing on the street, not a bargain compared to the wider market.
3. The home was built in 1955. Is that considered old for this area?
It's older than most homes in Windsor Park, where the average build year is 1961. But on Arundel Road itself, it's tied for the earliest build year (top 2%). Buyers should expect original features and plan for updates typical of a home from that era.
4. How does this property fit for someone looking for a large lot?
The lot (5,499 sq ft) is above average for Arundel Road, but below average for both Windsor Park and Winnipeg. It's a decent-sized yard for the street, not a sprawling city lot. Good for gardening or outdoor space, but not oversized by neighborhood standards.
5. What type of buyer is this home best for?
A buyer who prioritizes being the largest or most valuable home on their street, rather than in the wider area. It suits someone who values a strong relative position in a specific block over having a top-tier property citywide. First-time buyers or small families looking for an older, solid home in a mature neighborhood should consider it.
