3119 Assiniboine Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 2,001-square-foot home built in 1968 on a 7,792-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. What stands out is the living area: it’s well above average at every level—street, neighbourhood, and citywide. The lot is also notably larger than typical for Westwood and for Winnipeg as a whole, though it’s on the smaller side compared to other homes on the same street.

The assessed value of $446,000 is roughly in line with other homes on Assiniboine Avenue, but it sits well above the Westwood neighbourhood average ($392,100) and the citywide average ($390,100). That means the property offers more space and a bigger lot than many nearby homes, without the premium you might expect on the street itself. The combination of generous interior square footage and a sizable yard makes it a practical choice for someone who values indoor and outdoor space but isn’t looking for the priciest option on the block.

The home is from 1968, which is slightly newer than the street average and roughly in line with the neighbourhood and city medians. It’s not a tear-down or a historic property—it falls into that middle range where renovation potential or solid original condition are both plausible.

This property would suit a buyer who wants more room than the typical Westwood home offers—whether that’s a growing family, someone needing a home office or hobby space, or someone who simply prefers a larger footprint. The bigger lot also appeals to gardeners, people with trailers or boats, or anyone who wants outdoor space without moving to a more expensive street. It’s less suited to someone looking for a compact, low-maintenance yard or a home that’s already been fully updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's assessed value compare to others in Westwood?
It’s above the Westwood average ($392,100) by roughly 14% and above the citywide average for comparable homes. On its own street, however, the value sits near the middle—meaning you’re getting a larger home and lot than the street median without paying a top-tier price.

2. Is the 7,792 sqft lot considered large for this area?
Yes, for Westwood specifically. That lot size ranks in the top 12% of properties in the neighbourhood and citywide. But on Assiniboine Avenue itself, which has many larger lots averaging 10,920 sqft, it’s closer to average. So it depends on whether you’re comparing to the street or the broader area.

3. What does “ranking” mean in the data, and how reliable is it?
Each ranking compares this property to a pool of comparable homes at the street, neighbourhood, and city level. The percentile tells you what share of those homes you’re outperforming. For example, top 6% neighbourhood living area means only 6% of comparable Westwood homes have more square footage. The data comes from assessed property records and is a reliable benchmark, but it reflects comparables as grouped by the city, not necessarily every home next door.

4. Is the 1968 build likely to need major updates?
That depends on the current owner’s maintenance, but a 1968 home is old enough that major systems—roof, furnace, windows, electrical—may have been replaced once or could be due within the next decade. It’s not a red flag, but it’s worth investigating the age of key components rather than assuming original condition. The year built is consistent with many homes in Westwood, so trades familiar with the era are common in the area.

5. How does this property fit the current market in Westwood?
Westwood is a stable, established neighbourhood with a mix of mid-century bungalows and two-storey homes. This property lands on the larger side for both living area and lot, which is a relative rarity in a market where smaller lots are increasingly common. It’s not a character home or a new build, but for buyers who prioritize square footage and yard space over curb appeal or modern finishes, it offers solid value relative to both the street and the city.
