271 Aubrey Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1912 home with 1,976 sq. ft. of living space on a 2,729 sq. ft. lot in Wolseley. Its standout feature is living area size. On Aubrey Street, it ranks in the top 2% for living space—meaning it’s one of the roomiest homes on the block. Citywide, it lands in the top 11% for living area, well above the average of 1,342 sq. ft.
The assessed value of $326,000 is around average for both the street and the neighbourhood. That’s lower than the Wolseley average ($371,300) and the citywide average ($390,100). So you get more interior space than most, without paying a premium.
The lot is below average—smaller than typical for the street, neighbourhood, and city. The home was built in 1912, which is older than the citywide average (1966) but consistent with many homes in Wolseley.
Where the appeal lies: The property offers a rare combination—generous living area at a mid-range price point, in a historic inner-city neighbourhood. The smaller lot and older construction are trade-offs. For someone who values square footage over yard space, or who appreciates pre-war character, this could be a strong fit.
Who it suits: Buyers who want more indoor space than typical for the price, especially those interested in older Wolseley homes. Less ideal for anyone needing a large yard or a move-in-ready newer build.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on Aubrey Street?
It ranks #2 out of 118 homes for living area—top 2%—so it’s among the largest on the street. Lot size ranks #103 (bottom 13%), so the yard is on the small side. Assessed value is in the middle of the pack.
2. Is the assessed value of $326,000 a good deal?
Relative to the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100), yes. It’s also below the Wolseley average. The home offers above-average interior space at a below-average price point.
3. What does “top 11% citywide” for living area actually mean?
Out of nearly 195,000 comparable homes in Winnipeg, this one ranks around 22,000th for living space. That puts it well above the median—only 11% of similar homes have more square footage.
4. The home was built in 1912. Should that be a concern?
Not necessarily in Wolseley, where many homes date from the same era. The lot is small, which is also typical. You’ll want to check the condition of the foundation, wiring, and plumbing, but the age alone isn’t unusual for the area.
