851 Autumnwood Drive - Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This is a 1,041 sqft home built in 1959 on a 6,000 sqft lot in Windsor Park. The property’s strongest feature is its construction year—it ranks in the top 7% on Autumnwood Drive, meaning it’s among the older, more established homes on the street. The lot size is slightly below the street average but holds its own citywide, ranking in the top 31% across Winnipeg. The living area and assessed value ($338k) are both around average for the street, neighborhood, and city. The assessed value is notably below the neighborhood average of $354k and well below the citywide average of $390k.
The appeal here is subtle. This isn’t a standout property on paper, but it offers solid, middle-of-the-road specs with one distinguishing edge: its age. In a market where many buyers gravitate toward newer builds, an older home on a decent lot can mean better bones, more mature landscaping, and potentially fewer cookie-cutter constraints. It’s a practical choice for someone who values character and space over flashy upgrades.
This property would suit a buyer who is comfortable with a home that needs some personalization—someone who isn’t looking for a turnkey move-in but sees potential in a well-located, modestly priced house. It’s also a good fit for first-time buyers or investors who want a foothold in a stable, older neighborhood without paying a premium. The lower assessed value relative to the area suggests room for equity growth if renovations are done thoughtfully.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes?
The assessed value of $338k is below the street average ($343.9k) and well below the neighborhood average ($354.2k) and citywide average ($390.1k). This places it in the lower tier for its street and neighborhood, which could mean it’s priced more affordably relative to nearby properties.
2. Is the lot size a selling point?
At 6,000 sqft, the lot is slightly smaller than the street average (6,344 sqft) but larger than the neighborhood average (6,030 sqft). Citywide, it ranks in the top 31%, so compared to many Winnipeg properties, the lot is on the larger side. For a home built in 1959, this size is fairly standard for its era, offering decent yard space without being oversized.
3. How does the home’s age affect its ranking?
The home was built in 1959, which puts it in the top 7% on its street—meaning most nearby homes are newer. Within Windsor Park, it’s around average, and citywide it’s also around average.

4. What does “around average” mean for the living area?
The 1,041 sqft living area is slightly below the street average of 1,097 sqft and roughly in line with the neighborhood average of 1,091 sqft. Citywide, it’s below the average of 1,342 sqft.
