791 Autumnwood Drive – Property Summary
Property Overview & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,127 sqft home built in 1957 on a 6,000 sqft lot, located in Winnipeg’s Windsor Park neighbourhood. Its key characteristic is solid, middle-of-the-road positioning. The living area is above average for both the street and the neighbourhood—ranked in the top 24% and 28%, respectively—but basically average citywide. The assessed value sits close to the norm at every level (street, neighbourhood, city), and the same is true for the lot size, which is around the average for Windsor Park but slightly smaller than the street median.
The appeal here is stability rather than standout features. It’s a home that isn’t trying to be the biggest, newest, or most expensive on the block. For someone who wants a functional, unflashy property in a well-established area, this avoids the premium attached to top-tier listings. It would suit buyers who prioritize a decent-sized lot and a proven, older construction over modern square footage or a low-maintenance build. First-time buyers looking for a foothold in a mature neighbourhood, or downsizers who value yard space and a straightforward layout without paying for trendy upgrades, would find this worth a look.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property compare to others on Autumnwood Drive?
It’s a good fit for the street. The living area is above average (top 24%), and the assessed value is essentially on par with the median. The lot is slightly smaller than the street average (6,000 sqft vs. 6,344 sqft), and the house itself is from 1957—right around the street’s average build year. Nothing stands out as an outlier, which means it blends in well.
2. Is the assessed value reasonable, or is the property overpriced?
The assessed value of 354k aligns closely with the neighbourhood average of 354.2k and the street average of 343.9k. It’s below the citywide average for comparable homes (390.1k). While assessment isn’t the same as market price, it suggests the property is priced in line with its immediate surroundings.
3. What does the “top 57%” citywide ranking for living area mean?
It means the 1,127 sqft is roughly average compared to similar homes across Winnipeg. It’s not small, but it’s not generous by city standards. The above-average ranking on the street and in the neighbourhood is more relevant for local comparisons—it tells you the home offers more space than many nearby options.
4. The house was built in 1957. What should I expect in terms of condition?
You can expect a structure typical of post-war construction: solid framing, often with mature landscaping on a larger lot, but likely needing updates to systems (electrical, plumbing, insulation) and finishes. The build year is slightly earlier than the neighbourhood and city averages, so it’s not unusually old for the area, but a thorough inspection is wise.
5. What is Windsor Park like as a neighbourhood?
Windsor Park is a central, established area with a mix of post-war bungalows and split-levels. It’s known for decent lot sizes, mature trees, and convenient access to amenities. For context, this property’s lot ranks in the top 40% of the neighbourhood—meaning it’s slightly larger than typical for the area, which appeals to buyers who want garden or garage space without an outer-suburb commute.
