27 Armour Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1957-built home on Armour Crescent in Winnipeg’s Woodhaven neighbourhood offers 1,799 square feet of living space on an 8,758-square-foot lot. Its assessed value of $495,000 places it well above average at the street, neighbourhood, and citywide levels—ranking in the top 11% on the street and top 21% across Winnipeg. The living area is similarly strong: top 23% on the street and top 17% citywide.
What stands out is the land. While the lot is slightly below average for Armour Crescent and Woodhaven, it ranks in the top 9% citywide for size. That means you’re getting significantly more yard than most Winnipeg homes, without paying a premium for an oversized lot within this particular block. The year built (1957) is typical for the street and slightly older than the citywide average (1966), but ranks in the top 20% within the neighbourhood—suggesting this pocket of Woodhaven has a stock of well-established, similar-era homes.
The appeal lies in a combination that's less common: a larger-than-average floor plan, strong assessed value (indicating good upkeep or desirable updates), and a generous lot, all in a neighbourhood where comparable homes cluster around similar ages and sizes. This isn't a fixer-upper bargain or a flashy new build—it’s a solid, mid-century family home that sits comfortably above the median in most categories.
Who it suits: Buyers looking for a spacious single-family home with a big yard in an established, above-average-value neighbourhood. It would work well for families who want room to grow, someone who values outdoor space without needing a newly built house, or anyone who sees long-term stability in a home that already ranks well against its peers. It’s less suited for buyers seeking a starter home, a modern open-concept layout, or a property with very low land maintenance.
