Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,344 sqft home on Dickens Drive in Westwood was built in 1968 and sits on a 5,972 sqft lot. Its appeal lies in solid, middle-of-the-pack proportions. The living area is slightly below the street average but sits comfortably within the top 40% for the neighbourhood and city—it’s not oversized, but it's not small either. The assessed value (43.3万) is notably above average for both the street and the community, ranking in the top 20% for Westwood. That higher assessment relative to square footage suggests the property may have finishes or features that bump up its value beyond just floor area. The lot is modest for the neighbourhood, but the home itself is newer than many nearby (top 18% in Westwood for build year).
This property suits a buyer who values consistency over extremes. It would work well for someone looking for a home in a settled, established area without paying a premium for the largest lot or most square footage on the street. It leans toward a practical, cost-conscious buyer—someone who sees the higher assessment as a sign of ongoing maintenance or upgrades, not a red flag. A first-time buyer or a downsizer who wants a manageable lot and a home built in a reliable era (late 60s) would be a natural fit. The quiet, less obvious strength here is the build year ranking: in a neighbourhood with an average build year of 1966, this home edges slightly newer, which can mean fewer structural surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes on the street?
It’s close to average. This home’s 1,344 sqft ranks 37th out of 70 homes on Dickens Drive, which means it sits just below the street average of 1,445 sqft. It’s not one of the larger homes, but it’s not the smallest either.
2. Is the assessed value higher than what other homes in the area are worth?
Yes, noticeably. The assessment of 43.3万 is above the street average of 41万 and well above the Westwood average of 39.2万. It ranks in the top 19% for the neighbourhood, which often indicates the home has seen updates or has a better location within the area.
3. What is the lot like, and is it typical for the area?
At 5,972 sqft, the lot is slightly smaller than average for both the street (6,225 sqft) and the community (6,491 sqft). It ranks right around the middle for the neighbourhood. It’s a manageable yard, not expansive, but typical for a home of this era in Westwood.
4. How old is the house, and does that matter compared to others nearby?
It was built in 1968, which is actually newer than the average home in Westwood (1966). It ranks in the top 18% for build year in the community, meaning you’re getting a home that’s a couple of years fresher than many of its neighbours.
5. What does the “progress bar” ranking really tell me?
The ranking system compares this home to others on its street, in its neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. The coloured bar shows the percentage of homes this property outperforms in each category. For example, the assessed value bar is longer because it ranks in the top 30% on its street. Shorter bars (like land size) show where the home is closer to average or below. It’s a quick way to see where this property stands out and where it doesn’t.
