121 Dickens Drive – Property Summary


Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,575 sqft home on a 6,133 sqft lot was built in 1969. What sets it apart is not just size, but how it stacks up against nearby properties. It ranks in the top 6% for assessed value on its street (at $490,000) and sits on a lot that is larger than average for the street, though slightly smaller than the Westwood neighborhood median. The home itself is above average in living area both neighborhood-wide and citywide for Winnipeg.

The appeal lies in balance: the property offers more space than most comparable homes in the area without being oversized, and its assessed value reflects a premium position without being extreme. The year built is a standout—ranked #1 on Dickens Drive—meaning it’s one of the newer homes on the block, which can matter for maintenance expectations and resale.

This property suits buyers who want a solid, above-average family home in a mature neighborhood with established character. It’s less suited for someone looking for a fixer-upper with below-market value or a tiny lot with low upkeep. It’s also a strong fit for buyers who care about resale metrics: the combo of top-tier street ranking for value and age suggests this property holds its ground well.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the lot size compare to others in Westwood?
The lot is 6,133 sqft, which is slightly below the Westwood neighborhood average of 6,491 sqft. However, on Dickens Drive itself, it ranks in the top 29%, meaning it’s larger than most lots on this street.

2. Is the assessed value in line with the home’s actual market value?
Assessed value is a municipal figure used for property tax, not a market appraisal. That said, this home’s assessed value of $490,000 ranks in the top 6% on the street—well above the street average of $410,100—suggesting the city sees it as a higher-value property relative to neighbors.

3. Why does the year built matter here?
At 1969, this home is the newest on Dickens Drive (ranked #1 out of 70). In older neighborhoods, a newer build can mean fewer immediate updates to foundations, roofs, or electrical systems, though every home is different. It’s worth noting the neighborhood average is 1966, so it’s not dramatically newer than the area overall.

4. What do the rankings for living area and value mean for daily living?
The living area (1,575 sqft) is above average at every level—street, neighborhood, and city—so you’re getting genuine extra space without it feeling oversized. The high assessed value ranking suggests the home has features, finishes, or location advantages that the market recognizes, which can translate to both comfort and future resale strength.

5. How does this home compare to others in the same price bracket citywide?
Citywide, this home’s assessed value ranks in the top 21% of all comparable homes in Winnipeg. So it’s priced firmly in the upper tier but not in the top 5%. That means you’re paying for a proven top-tier property within its street and neighborhood context rather than for citywide prestige.
