Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a 1,091 sqft home built in 1965, sitting on a 6,377 sqft lot. What stands out most is the land value relative to the house. The property ranks in the top 8% for lot size on Allard Avenue and top 24% citywide, meaning the land itself carries above-average potential—whether for future expansion, a large garden, or simply more breathing room than comparable homes offer.

The assessed value is notably high: top 5% on the street and top 28% citywide, well above the neighborhood average of $392k. That suggests the property has been well-maintained or improved, and that the land is pushing the valuation upward. The living area, however, is below average on its street and in Westwood, and just around average for Winnipeg as a whole. The home is not large, but the overall package leans into quality of lot and location rather than square footage.

Its appeal lies in the balance. This isn't a "turnkey" or luxury home by size, but it offers a solid base with strong land equity. It would suit a buyer who values outdoor space, or someone who sees long-term potential in the property's location and lot—possibly a renovator, a first-time buyer wanting room to grow, or someone who wants a home in a well-established neighborhood without paying a premium for a sprawling interior.

Five Possible FAQs

1. Why is the assessed value so high if the living area is below average for the street?
The assessed value reflects both the home itself and the land it sits on. On Allard Avenue, this property has the third-largest lot, and lot size is a major factor in assessment. The high ranking suggests the land is driving the value more than the house's square footage.

2. How does the year built compare to other homes in Westwood?
It's around average for the neighborhood. Many homes in Westwood were built in the mid-1960s, so this home fits in well with the area's character and building stock. It's not unusually old or new for the street or the wider city.

3. Is this property a good candidate for renovation or expansion?
The lot size—especially at the street level—gives more flexibility than many similar homes. It ranks top 8% on its street, meaning there's decent space for a garage, an addition, or a substantial backyard project. However, any major work would still need to meet local zoning and permit requirements.

4. How does living area rank citywide compared to the street?
Citywide, the home ranks around average (top 61%), meaning it's typical for Winnipeg. On its own street, it's below average (top 84%), so the neighbors tend to have slightly larger homes. The difference isn't extreme, but it's noticeable when comparing directly within the block.

5. What's the best way to understand how this property fits into the neighborhood?
Opening the neighborhood analysis map—linked on the property page—lets you compare nearby homes by year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size side by side. It's a practical way to see whether the property sits among similar homes or stands out for a specific reason, like lot size.
