Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a 1,544 sqft home built in 1968, set on a 5,903 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. The living area is slightly above the street average and comfortably above both the neighbourhood and city averages, meaning you get more interior space than many comparable homes in the area. The lot size is close to the local norm, offering a usable outdoor footprint without being oversized.
The year built places it in an older, more established segment of the street and neighbourhood, where homes from the mid-60s are common. That can appeal to buyers who appreciate a mature area with settled landscaping and a consistent architectural character.
Where this property stands out is in value relative to space. Its assessed value of $374k is below the street average ($410.1k) and slightly under the neighbourhood and city averages for comparable homes. For someone looking for above-average square footage without paying a premium, this home offers a practical trade-off. It would suit a buyer who prioritises interior room over a "top-of-the-market" street address, or someone who sees room for long-term value growth in a solid, mid-range neighbourhood.
Five Possible FAQs
1. Why is the assessed value lower than the street average when the living area is larger?
Assessed value reflects more than just square footage—it factors in condition, updates, layout, and comparable sales. It’s possible that homes on Dickens Drive with lower square footage have been renovated or have features (like garages, finished basements, or modern kitchens) that lift their value. A lower assessment can also mean lower property taxes.
2. How does the build year of 1968 affect maintenance or renovations?
Homes from the late 1960s often have solid framing and established foundations, but may need updated electrical, plumbing, or insulation. It’s worth checking the age of the roof, furnace, windows, and whether any structural updates have been made. Being part of a street where the average build year is also 1968 suggests similar maintenance patterns in the area.
3. What does “around average” for lot size actually mean for use?
A 5,903 sqft lot is typical for Westwood and the street. It’s large enough for a garden, patio, or play space, but not oversized for the neighbourhood. It won’t feel cramped or unusually spacious—it’s in the middle range, which is fine for most families and couples.
4. How does this property compare to newer homes in Westwood?
The area’s average build year is 1966, so this home fits right in. Newer builds in the neighbourhood are rarer and usually command higher prices. If you prefer a home with more existing character or a larger floor plan for the price, older homes like this often offer better value per square foot than newer infill builds.
5. What does “top 23% for living area in the neighbourhood” actually mean?
Out of 2,523 comparable homes in Westwood, this property ranks 574th for living area—meaning it is larger than about 77% of similar homes in the neighbourhood. For most buyers, that translates to more usable interior space than average, without being a borderline oversized house that might feel difficult to heat or furnish.
