Property Summary: 37 Lenore Street
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1947-built home on Lenore Street sits on a notably generous lot for the immediate neighbourhood—3,052 sqft of land places it in the top 17% on the street, well above the local average of 2,946 sqft. Inside, the living area is 1,290 sqft, which is smaller than the street average (1,717 sqft) but close to the citywide norm. Its assessed value of $350,000 lands near the middle of the pack locally and slightly below the city average.
Where the appeal lies: The real standout here is the construction year. At 1947, this is one of the newer homes on Lenore Street (top 6%) and sits in the top 3% within the Wolseley community, where many homes date back to around 1916. That means you get the classic neighbourhood character without dealing with a century-old structure. The land size is also a practical advantage—larger than most neighbours, which offers more outdoor flexibility than typical Wolseley lots.
Who it suits: Buyers who want Wolseley’s established, walkable community but prefer a home that is younger than most in the area. It’s a reasonable fit for someone who values yard space but doesn’t need a massive interior footprint. Not ideal for those seeking a large house or a city-centre lot size.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s living space compare to other homes in Wolseley?
At 1,290 sqft, it’s slightly below the Wolseley average of 1,622 sqft, ranking in the 70th percentile (larger than 30% of area homes). It’s a mid-sized home for the neighbourhood, not unusually small or large.
2. Is the assessed value of $350,000 high or low for this street?
It’s close to the street average of $360,000, ranking 58th out of 118 homes—right around the middle. The tax assessment is in line with what you’d expect for the location.
3. What’s the advantage of a 1947 build in a neighbourhood of mostly 1910s homes?
The home is roughly 30 years newer than the typical house on the street and in the community. That can mean fewer immediate structural or system upgrades (foundation, wiring, plumbing) compared to pre-1920 homes, though it’s still an older house by city standards.
4. The land is 3,052 sqft—is that considered small overall?
By citywide standards, yes—it’s in the bottom 13% of Winnipeg. But on Lenore Street it’s above average (top 17%), and in Wolseley it’s close to the median. It’s a decent private yard for the area, not a sprawling suburban lot.
5. How does this property compare to others nearby in terms of overall value?
The assessed value is average for the street and slightly below the city median, while the land size is generous locally but small citywide. The home’s newer vintage relative to the neighbourhood is the main differentiator.
