3267 Assiniboine Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 2,030 sqft home built in 1971, sitting on a 7,364 sqft lot in Westwood. The property stands out most for its living space and its timing. The house is larger than 90% of homes citywide and ranks in the top 5% within the neighbourhood, where the average home is 1,372 sqft. That gives it serious elbow room relative to its immediate surroundings.

Its assessed value ($471k) tells a more grounded story. On its own street—Assiniboine Avenue—the value is slightly below the street average of $533k, which makes sense given the street includes some much larger, older lots (averaging nearly 11,000 sqft). But within Westwood, this home is in the top 12% for assessed value, suggesting the size and condition hold up well compared to closer neighbours. The year built (1971) is newer than 95% of homes in the area, meaning it avoids some of the maintenance surprises common to Westwood’s older housing stock.

The lot is modest by street standards but generous compared to the city overall (top 14% citywide). That’s worth noting: you get a yard that feels spacious without the upkeep burden of a full-acre property.

Who it suits: Buyers who want a house that’s measurably larger and newer than what’s typical in the neighbourhood, without paying a premium for street prestige or an oversized lot. It’s a practical fit for someone who prioritizes interior space and a more recent build over a sprawling yard or a flashy address. Families who need square footage but want to stay inside a reasonable price band will find the value proposition here.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value low because the house needs work?
Not necessarily. The value is below the street average largely because the street includes a mix of very large-lot properties that push the median up. Within the neighbourhood and city, this home is above average in value. Its relatively recent build year (1971) also suggests fewer deferred-maintenance issues than older homes nearby. Still, an in-person inspection is the only way to confirm condition.

2. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Westwood?
This lot (7,364 sqft) is above average for the neighbourhood, where the typical lot is around 6,491 sqft. It’s not a premium lot by street standards on Assiniboine, but it’s comfortably bigger than most yards in Westwood and the wider city.

3. What’s the deal with the “Top 5%” ranking for year built in the neighbourhood?
Most homes in Westwood date from the 1960s or earlier. This house was built in 1971, which makes it one of the newer properties in the area. That can mean more modern construction standards, better insulation, and fewer major system replacements (roof, furnace, windows) compared to a 1960s home—but that depends on how the current owner has maintained it.

4. Is this house overpriced compared to similar homes on the street?
On paper, the value is around the middle of the pack for Assiniboine Avenue, but those other homes tend to have much larger lots. If you care more about house size than land, this property may offer better value per square foot of living space. If you’re comparing strictly by lot size, you might find cheaper options elsewhere.

5. How should I interpret the “rankings” and bars in the data?
The rankings compare this property to similar homes at three levels: street, neighbourhood, and city. A “Top 10%” ranking means the property does better than 90% of comparable homes in that category. The bar length shows roughly how many peers it outperforms, and the colour (red, blue, amber, gray) indicates a tier—like excellent, above average, average, or below. These are useful for relative comparison, not absolute quality.
