Property Overview

This 2,162 sqft home on Scalena Place punches well above its weight in key areas. Built in 1974, it ranks second on the street for assessed value ($631K) and living space, sitting in the top 15% among 13 homes. But the real story is at the neighbourhood level: in Westwood, it lands in the top 3% of 2,523 properties for both size and value. Citywide, it holds in the top 7% for living area and top 6% for assessed value—strong positioning for a house that doesn't scream "luxury" from the curb.

The lot is where the trade-off lives. At 5,824 sqft, it's smaller than most on the street (ranked 12th out of 13) and slightly below neighbourhood averages. Buyers drawn to large yards or future expansion space may find it tight, but those who prioritise a substantial home with proven value density will see the logic. The home's age is unremarkable citywide (top 42%), though it is newer than many nearby homes (top 3% in Westwood).

The appeal here is less about land and more about built value: solid square footage, strong finishes for the era, and a location that commands a premium. This would suit buyers who want a well-established, larger home in a mature neighbourhood without paying for a sprawling lot they don't need—or who see the smaller land as a lower-maintenance trade-off for a house that already stands apart in its class. It may also appeal to investors or renovators looking at comparable resale data: the gap between assessed value and street averages suggests room for confidence in long-term holding.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so high relative to the street average?
The home's 2,162 sqft living area is well above typical homes on Scalena Place (average 1,853 sqft). Assessed value correlates closely with size and interior condition, not just land. The property likely has updates or features that push its valuation higher than the street median.

2. Is a smaller lot a drawback for resale?
Not necessarily. In Westwood, the neighbourhood average land area is 6,491 sqft, so this lot is only slightly below that. Many buyers in this area prioritise interior space and location over yard size. However, if the street trends toward larger lots, resale may take a bit longer for buyers specifically seeking a big yard.

3. How does the 1974 build hold up compared to newer homes?
The home is newer than most in Westwood (top 3% for year built), but citywide it's right around average. The 1970s build quality in Winnipeg can vary, but many homes from that era have solid frames and layouts that suit modern renovations. Check for updates to windows, insulation, and mechanicals—typical for a house this age.

4. What does "top 3% in neighbourhood" actually mean?
Among 2,523 properties in Westwood, this home ranks 87th for living area and 64th for assessed value. It means the house is in an elite tier for size and worth within its immediate area—not just above average, but notably higher than the vast majority of nearby homes.

5. Would this property work for a family or an investor?
It could suit both. For a family, the generous living area and strong school-catchment potential of Westwood are advantages, with a manageable lot. For an investor, the above-average assessed value and consistent citywide ranking suggest steady demand. Renovation upside depends on the current condition and whether value-adds (basement suite, kitchen upgrade) are feasible within the smaller lot footprint.
