Here is a clean, standalone summary of the property at 71 Trafford Park.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home stands out for its position on the street rather than its land size. It ranks #1 out of 44 homes on Trafford Park in living area (1,266 sqft) and assessed value ($301,000), placing it in the elite top 2% for its immediate block. The living space is notably larger than the street average of 1,137 sqft.
Where this property differs is on the lot. The land area (4,598 sqft) is significantly larger than the street average (2,141 sqft), but it ranks below average (top 74%) compared to the wider Worthington neighborhood, where lots average 7,831 sqft. This suggests a tighter, more established street with smaller plots, giving the home a strong relative presence. The home was built in 1976, which is newer than the neighborhood average (1962).
The appeal here is for a buyer who values interior space and a top-tier position on a specific street over a sprawling yard. It suits someone who wants a proven, solid home in a well-ranked location without paying for extra land they might not need. The assessed value is modest compared to citywide averages ($390k), which may appeal to buyers looking for a relatively grounded price point in a neighborhood that is above average in terms of home age and living space.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It’s the top-ranked home on Trafford Park for living area, assessed value, and year built. It also has more than double the average lot size on the street. On a block of 44 homes, this property is the standout in multiple categories.
2. Is a lot that is larger than the street average but smaller than the neighborhood average a good thing or a bad thing?
It depends on your priorities. On one hand, you get much more yard space than the nearest houses around you. On the other hand, if you're comparing to the wider Worthington area, the lot is considered below average. For a buyer who wants a private-feeling yard but does not need a massive garden to maintain, this is a practical middle ground.
3. Why is the assessed value ($301,000) lower than the citywide average ($390,100), even though it ranks high locally?
This reflects the home's specific location and neighborhood relative to the whole city. Within Trafford Park, it’s the most valuable home. But the citywide data includes much higher-priced areas in Winnipeg. The home offers strong relative value—you get a top-tier property on its street without paying a premium for a high-cost citywide location.
4. Does the “Top 2%” ranking mean this is an expensive home overall?
No, not necessarily. The “Top 2%” ranking is specific to the street (Trafford Park) and means this home is among the most valuable and spacious on that block compared to 43 other homes. Citywide, it ranks near the middle (top 44% for living area, top 70% for value). It’s an excellent choice for someone who wants to be the best option on a well-regarded street without buying into a top-tier citywide price bracket.
5. What does “Top 74%” for land area at the neighborhood level mean?
It means this home’s lot is smaller than roughly 74% of comparable homes in the Worthington area. In simpler terms, most homes in the wider neighborhood sit on larger pieces of land. This is the trade-off for being on an elite street—you sacrifice land size for a superior interior and a top street ranking.
