Key Characteristics & Appeal
This property at 70 Aubrey Street sits in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood. It’s a 1945 build on a 4,107 sqft lot, with 1,188 sqft of living space and an assessed value of $424,000. What stands out most is the land—it ranks in the top 4% on its street and top 13% in the neighbourhood, well above local averages. The house itself is relatively recent by Wolseley standards: built in 1945, it ranks 3rd on the street (top 3%) among mostly older homes from around 1917. The assessed value is also high locally, ranking top 7% on Aubrey Street and top 23% in Wolseley. Living area is close to the street average but below the neighbourhood norm, and the lot size sits below the citywide average.
The appeal here is a combination of a newer build (for the area) on a generous lot. Buyers who value a larger yard in an established, walkable neighbourhood—without a full-scale renovation project—would likely find it compelling. It suits someone who wants more outdoor space than typical for Wolseley, and who prefers a house that’s not the oldest on the block. It’s less suited to those who need maximum interior square footage or are looking for a typical city lot size.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to other homes nearby?
It’s significantly larger than most on Aubrey Street (top 4%) and well above the Wolseley average. That said, it’s smaller than the typical Winnipeg lot, which reflects how many newer suburban properties have larger parcels.
2. Why is the assessed value high relative to the neighbourhood?
The combination of a relatively newer build and a larger-than-average lot likely drives the value. It’s also possible that recent updates or finishes have contributed, but the data only reflects the assessment, not specific renovations.
3. Is the living area considered small or large for Wolseley?
It’s on the smaller side—ranking bottom 21% in the neighbourhood—but it’s right around the average for Aubrey Street. Buyers who prioritize yard space over interior square footage may not see this as a limitation.
4. How old is the house compared to others in the area?
It’s newer than most. Wolseley has many homes from the 1910s, so a 1945 build is among the youngest in the neighbourhood (top 3%). Citywide, it’s older than average, but that’s expected for a central, established area.
5. What does the “assessed value” include? Does it reflect market price?
The assessed value is used for property tax calculation, not a market appraisal. It’s a useful benchmark for comparison, but actual sale prices may differ based on condition, demand, and recent upgrades.
