188 Rouge Road – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,272 sqft home built in 1967 on a 5,533 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $374,000.

The property sits in a sweet spot of consistency. While no single metric jumps out as exceptional, the home performs reliably above average within its immediate street context. On Rouge Road, it ranks in the top 29% for assessed value and top 30% for year built, meaning it’s slightly newer and more valuable than many of its direct neighbours. The living area is also marginally above the street average.

Where the property deviates is lot size. At 5,533 sqft, the land is below the Westwood neighbourhood average (6,491 sqft) and ranks in the bottom third locally. For a buyer who values yard space or future redevelopment potential, this is a genuine limitation. However, for someone who prefers a more manageable, lower-maintenance lot in a well-established area, it may be a practical fit.

The home’s appeal lies in its solid, middle-of-the-pack positioning. It’s not a fixer-upper, nor is it a premium showpiece. It suits a buyer looking for a straightforward, liveable home in a stable neighbourhood—likely a first-time homeowner, a small family, or someone downsizing who wants a house that holds its value without demanding constant attention or a top-tier budget.


Five Possible FAQs

1. Why is the assessed value above the street average but below the neighbourhood average?
The home ranks in the top 29% on Rouge Road, where the average value is $351,500, but falls slightly below the Westwood average of $392,100. This suggests the street itself has relatively lower values compared to the broader neighbourhood, and this property is one of the stronger performers on its block.

2. Is the lot size a dealbreaker for families who want a garden or room to expand?
It depends on expectations. At 5,533 sqft, the lot is smaller than typical for Westwood, and ranks in the bottom 28% locally. If a large backyard, a detached garage, or future additions are priorities, this property may feel tight. If outdoor space is secondary to the house itself, it’s likely sufficient.

3. How does the 1967 build year affect maintenance or renovation costs?
Homes from this era often have original mechanicals—plumbing, electrical, windows, roofing—that may need updating. The property is newer than most on its street (top 30%) and tied with the neighbourhood average, so it’s not unusually old, but a pre-purchase inspection focused on these systems is advisable. The age can also mean solid construction and a more traditional layout.

4. What are the nearby schools or amenities like?
This summary doesn’t include specific school or amenity data, but Westwood is a well-established Winnipeg neighbourhood with parks, schools, and commercial corridors. Buyers should check catchment boundaries and local zoning for any planned developments that could affect the area.

5. How does this property compare to others currently on the market in Westwood?
It’s ranked near the middle of the neighbourhood for living area (top 47%) and assessed value (top 46%), so it sits close to the local median. This means it’s a fair benchmark property—neither overpriced nor a hidden bargain—and comparable to many homes in the area. For a precise comparison, look at active listings with similar square footage, lot size, and build year.
