59 Duluth Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This single-family home in Windsor Park offers 1,218 square feet of living space on a 5,771 square foot lot, built in 1963. The assessed value is $380,000.
The property sits comfortably above average for its neighbourhood, ranking in the top 16% for living area and top 21% for assessed value within Windsor Park. On its own street, it performs around the middle—slightly above average for size, but below average for lot size compared to immediate neighbours. Citywide, it lands squarely around the middle of the pack.
Where the appeal lies is in the balance. You get a well-sized home in a solid, established neighbourhood without paying a premium for top-of-market finishes or a sprawling yard. The lot is modest by street standards, which might be a plus for someone who wants less exterior upkeep. The 1963 build year is typical for the area—nothing special, but nothing unusual either.
This property would suit a practical buyer: a first-time homeowner looking for good value in a reliable neighbourhood, or someone downsizing who doesn't want to maintain a large yard but still wants decent indoor space. It's not flashy, but it's consistent. The kind of home that works well for someone who cares more about comfort and location than status.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $380,000 is around average for the street (ranking 24th out of 46 homes) and above average for the broader Windsor Park neighbourhood, where the average is $354,200. It sits slightly below the citywide average of $390,100, meaning you're paying less than the typical Winnipeg home but getting above-average neighbourhood value.
2. Is the lot size a concern?
At 5,771 square feet, the lot is below average compared to other homes on Duluth Bay (where the average is 6,411 sqft) and slightly below the neighbourhood average. However, citywide it's still bigger than 63% of comparable properties. So it's not small by Winnipeg standards—just smaller than what you'd typically find on this specific street. If you want a low-maintenance yard, this could actually work in your favour.
3. How old is the home, and has it been updated?
The home was built in 1963, which is consistent with most homes in Windsor Park (average build year is 1961) and slightly older than the citywide average of 1966. This doesn't tell you anything about renovations or updates—those would need to be confirmed through an inspection or by asking the seller. But the age itself is typical for the area, not outdated compared to its immediate neighbours.
4. Where does this property rank within Windsor Park?
It ranks in the top 16% for living area (545th out of 3,307 homes), top 21% for assessed value (679th), and around the middle for lot size (2,051st). So it's a stronger-than-average home in this neighbourhood, especially in terms of interior space and overall value. The lot is more average for the area.
5. Who would this home not suit?
Buyers wanting a large, private lot or a newer build (post-2000) would likely be disappointed. Similarly, if you're looking for a top-tier property within the city—size, value, or prestige—this home ranks around the middle citywide. It's reliable, not exceptional. Also, anyone needing extra storage or square footage might find 1,218 sqft tight depending on their lifestyle.
