Property Summary

Key Characteristics

This 1,567-square-foot home at 160 Carroll Road sits on a 6,191-square-foot lot, built in 1966—a year that aligns closely with the average for both the Westwood neighbourhood and Winnipeg overall. What stands out is the living space: it ranks in the top 13% on the street and top 20% in the community, which is meaningful for buyers who prioritize interior square footage over other factors. The lot is also generous by street standards (top 22%) and slightly above the city average.

The assessed value of $345,000 is notably below both the street average ($377,000) and the community average ($392,000). That gap may reflect features that don’t show up in the data—such as finishes, layout, or deferred updates—rather than a lack of size or land. For a buyer, this could mean more house for the money relative to neighbours, but it also suggests the property might not have been recently upgraded or may lack some of the curb appeal that drives higher assessments.

This home would suit a buyer who values space—both inside and outdoors—over a move-in-ready, fully updated finish. It’s a good fit for someone willing to invest sweat equity or budget for renovations, particularly if they want to build equity in a well-located Westwood property without paying a premium for someone else’s upgrades. It may also appeal to families looking for a functional floor plan on a solid lot, rather than the latest trends.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s size compare to others nearby?
The living area is 1,567 sqft, which is above average on the street, in Westwood, and across Winnipeg. The land is also larger than most on the street, though it falls slightly below the average for the broader community.

2. Why is the assessed value lower than the average in the area?
The assessment is about 8% below the street average and 12% below the Westwood average. This could be due to the home not having undergone major renovations, or differences in condition, layout, or finishes compared to similar homes. It does not necessarily indicate a problem, but it’s worth investigating during a showing.

3. Is the building age a concern for maintenance?
Built in 1966, the home is typical for the neighbourhood. While the structure itself is sound for its era, systems like plumbing, electrical, roofing, and windows may be original or near end-of-life. A home inspection and review of any recent updates is recommended.

4. Who typically buys in this part of Westwood?
Buyers here often include families looking for mid-century homes with decent lot sizes, as well as investors or flippers attracted by the lower assessment relative to square footage. It’s a quieter pocket of the city with stable demand.

5. How does the property rank city-wide?
The home ranks in the top 27% for living area and top 27% for land size across Winnipeg. Its assessed value sits in the middle of the pack (top 56%), reinforcing the idea that you’re getting above-average space at a roughly average price point.
