6 Durham Bay, Winnipeg – Property Overview

Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit

This is a 1960-built home with 1,095 sqft of living space on a 6,598 sqft lot, assessed at $372,000. The property is situated in the Windsor Park neighbourhood, on Durham Bay.

Its strongest feature is the land. The lot ranks in the top 21% citywide and top 18% within the neighbourhood, meaning most comparable properties in the area sit on smaller parcels. The year of construction is also notable—while 1960 is typical for the street, it makes the home older than the citywide median by six years, which could appeal to buyers who appreciate the craftsmanship or character of mid-century builds. The living area and assessed value sit close to the averages across all three scopes (street, neighbourhood, city), so there are no surprises there.

Where this property really stands out is the balance. It’s not a fixer-upper with a tiny yard or an oversized house squeezed onto a postage-stamp lot. Instead, it offers a decent interior footprint on a genuinely generous lot—something that’s becoming harder to find at this price point in Winnipeg. The assessed value is slightly below the citywide average, but above the Windsor Park average, indicating property values in this pocket are a bit healthier than the broader neighbourhood.

Who it suits: Buyers who value outdoor space over square footage. This would work well for someone planning a garden, adding a garage or workshop, or who simply doesn’t want neighbours too close. It also suits someone who prefers a straightforward, unrenovated 1960s home that they can update gradually without tearing it down. Families wanting a quieter part of Windsor Park with room for kids to play would find the lot size a real asset. It’s less suitable for someone looking for a turnkey finish or a larger interior—1,095 sqft is compact by modern standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
It’s right around average for both the street and the neighbourhood. On Durham Bay, it ranks 23rd out of 40 homes, so slightly below the street average of 1,182 sqft. Within Windsor Park, it sits in the top 35%, which means it’s roomier than many homes in the wider area. The citywide average is higher at 1,342 sqft, reflecting larger newer homes across Winnipeg.

2. Is the assessed value fair relative to similar properties?
Yes, the data suggests it’s fairly priced. It’s virtually at the street average ($372,000 vs. $372,500) and above the neighbourhood average of $354,200. Citywide, it lands just below the median of $390,100. The property is neither undervalued nor overvalued for its class—it sits in a solid middle range, with the lot being the main upside.

3. What kind of lot size are we talking about?
6,598 sqft. That’s above the neighbourhood median (6,030 sqft) and the citywide median (6,570 sqft). On this street, the average lot is 6,965 sqft, so this is slightly smaller than the street peak but still in the top third. It’s a noticeably larger lot than what you’d typically find in Windsor Park overall.

4. How old is the house, and is that a concern?
Built in 1960, which makes it 65 years old as of the last assessment. It’s actually the 5th oldest home on the street, so the immediate neighbours are generally the same vintage. The citywide median year built is 1966, so this home is a bit older than average for Winnipeg. With a home this age, you’d want to check the roof, furnace, electrical panel, and windows, as these are common replacement items. That said, a 1960 build often means solid materials and a simpler, more repairable layout compared to later decades.

5. What’s the neighbourhood like, and how does this property compare to others in Windsor Park?
Windsor Park is an established, mature neighbourhood with a mix of post-war homes and some newer infills. This property is above average within the neighbourhood for both assessed value and land area, and about average for living area and year built. So it’s not the biggest or newest home in the area, but it holds its own well, especially on lot size. The street itself (Durham Bay) is a smaller pocket where properties are fairly consistent, which can mean less price volatility and a more predictable resale.
