Property Overview: 55 Hindley Avenue
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This property stands out most clearly for its lot size. At 11,133 square feet, the land ranks in the top 4% citywide in Winnipeg. While the street-level average for Hindley Avenue is already generous at 9,380 sqft, this lot is noticeably larger, offering rare space in an established area. The house itself was built in 1976, which is newer than much of the neighborhood (top 25% on the street) but not a recent build. Its 1,276 sqft of living space sits above both the street and neighborhood averages but is around the middle of the pack citywide. The assessed value is the property’s strongest feature after the land. At $446k, it ranks in the top 8% on the street and in the Worthington neighborhood. This combination of a large lot and high assessed value in a mature, above-average neighborhood suggests the appeal lies in land value and location stability rather than a newly renovated home.
This property would suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space, privacy, or future expansion potential—such as gardeners, families wanting room for play or a workshop, or those considering a long-term hold where the land may appreciate. It is less suited for someone seeking a turnkey, move-in-ready home with modern finishes or a compact, low-maintenance yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in the area?
The 1,276 sqft is above average for both Hindley Avenue (1,046 sqft avg) and Worthington (1,082 sqft avg). Citywide, it sits slightly below the average of 1,342 sqft, so it’s a solid mid-range size—not small, but not oversized.
2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of market price?
Assessed value reflects what the city considers the property worth for tax purposes, not the current market price. That said, being in the top 8% on the street suggests this home is among the higher-end properties on Hindley, likely due to its lot size and location.
3. What does “top 4% citywide” for lot size actually mean in practical terms?
It means this lot is larger than 96% of comparable homes across Winnipeg. On a suburban lot of 6,500 sqft, 11,133 sqft feels spacious—enough for a large garden, a playset, a shed, or even a future addition, depending on zoning.
4. Is 1976 considered an old home in this neighborhood?
Not particularly. The average build year on Hindley Avenue is 1957, and in Worthington it’s 1962. So this home is roughly 15 to 20 years newer than much of the surrounding housing stock, which may mean more updated systems or a different style of construction.
5. Why is the street-level rank for lot size only top 33% if the citywide rank is top 4%?
Hindley Avenue itself has larger-than-average lots. Many neighboring properties are also well above the city norm, so the street competition is tougher. The citywide rank is impressive, but on this specific street, a large lot is not unusual.
