171 Barron Drive – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Who It Suits

This 1965 home in Westwood offers 1,088 square feet of living space on a 5,122-square-foot lot, with an assessed value of $373,000. The property sits slightly below the street average for both living area and land size, but its assessed value ranks above most homes on Barron Drive (top 26%). This suggests the interior condition, finishes, or location-specific advantages may outweigh the square footage.

The appeal here is pragmatic: you’re getting a smaller footprint on a modest lot, but paying a premium compared to neighbors—likely reflecting updates or desirable features not captured by raw numbers. Citywide, the home sits right around average for living area, assessed value, and year built, making it a middle-of-the-road option within Winnipeg as a whole.

This property suits buyers who prioritize value within a specific street or neighborhood over chasing maximum space. It’s a good fit for someone who wants a solid, established home without paying for extra square footage they don’t need, or for buyers who see potential to add value through renovations on a lot that’s smaller than the neighborhood norm. It’s less suited for families seeking a large yard or open-concept living space at this price point.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s assessed value compare to others nearby?
It’s above average for the street (top 26%) and roughly average for the Westwood neighborhood and citywide. This means you’d be paying a bit more than your direct neighbors, but not out of step with the broader area.

2. The living area is below average on the street. Should that be a concern?
Not necessarily. Smaller homes on a street often trade at a discount, but here the assessed value is higher, which can indicate recent upgrades or a better lot position. Focus on whether the floor plan works for your needs, not just the raw square footage.

3. How does this property compare to the neighborhood in terms of lot size?
The lot is well below the Westwood average—ranked in the bottom 7% of the neighborhood. If yard space matters to you, this could be a limitation. But smaller lots often mean less maintenance, which some buyers prefer.

4. Is the 1965 build date a concern for maintenance or renovations?
It’s typical for the area. Homes from this era can have older mechanical systems, windows, or insulation. A home inspection is recommended to check for updates. Many buyers see this as an opportunity to customize rather than a drawback.

5. What type of buyer would get the most out of this home?
Someone who values location or street appeal over square footage, or a buyer looking for a smaller, manageable property in a well-established neighborhood. It could also suit an investor targeting the Westwood market, given the assessed value is modest relative to the city overall.
