This 1,180 sqft home on Rouge Road sits close to the average for its street, neighbourhood (Westwood), and city of Winnipeg in terms of living space and assessed value. Its standout feature is the build year: constructed in 1969, it ranks among the newest homes on the block (top 5% on the street, top 8% in the community). The lot is 5,428 sqft—slightly smaller than the Westwood average, but comparable within the street and city.
The appeal lies in getting a relatively newer home in an established area without paying a premium. The assessed value ($349,000) is below both the neighbourhood and city averages, which may translate to lower property taxes compared to nearby homes of similar size. For buyers who prioritize a more recent build over maximum square footage or land size, this property offers a balance that’s hard to find at this price point.
This would suit buyers looking for a solid, mid-century home in a settled neighbourhood—likely first-time purchasers, small families, or investors wanting a property with less deferred maintenance than older comparable homes on the same street. It’s a practical choice, not a showpiece.
1. How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
It’s slightly below the Westwood average (1,372 sqft) and the city average (1,342 sqft), but right in line with other houses on Rouge Road (average 1,263 sqft). You’re getting a typical amount of space for the street.
2. Is the property tax lower because the assessed value is lower?
Yes. The assessed value is $349,000, which is $43,000 below the Westwood average and $41,000 below the city average. All else being equal, that means lower annual property taxes than many neighbouring properties.
3. What’s the catch with the build year being newer?
There isn’t one, but it’s worth noting that “newer” here is relative—1969 is still over 50 years old. The advantage is that it’s newer than roughly 95% of homes on the same street, meaning it may have more modern construction standards and fewer immediate updates needed than a 1960 or 1950s home.
4. Why is the lot size smaller than the neighbourhood average?
Westwood has many homes on larger lots (averaging 6,491 sqft). This property’s lot is 5,428 sqft, which is still in line with the wider city average and typical for Rouge Road. If you want a big yard, this isn’t it—but it’s not unusually small either.
5. How does the ranking system work for these comparisons?
The rankings compare this home to others in three circles: the street, the Westwood community, and all of Winnipeg. For living area and lot size, higher rank means larger. For build year, higher rank means newer. For assessed value, higher rank means higher value. The progress bars show what percentage of comparable homes this property beats in each category.
