7 Dickens Drive – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,200 sqft single-family home built in 1967, sitting on a 5,297 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. The assessed value is $368,000.

What stands out here is the trade-off between the street and the broader area. On Dickens Drive itself, the home ranks relatively low across all four metrics—living area, lot size, year built, and assessed value—against its immediate neighbours. But zoom out to the neighbourhood and city levels, and it lands much closer to the middle. The lot is below average for Westwood, but not dramatically so (82nd percentile means most nearby homes have more land). The building’s age, at 1967, is actually slightly newer than the typical home in the neighbourhood (1966), which is a minor plus in an area where older stock is the norm.

The appeal is more about relative affordability within a decent neighbourhood than standout features. It’s not a showstopper on the street, but it’s not an outlier in Westwood. This would suit a buyer who wants to get into a solid, middle-of-the-road Winnipeg area without paying a premium for a street that’s already been fully upgraded. It’s also a reasonable option for someone who values citywide centrality over curb appeal within a specific block. The home itself, however, should be viewed in person—the raw numbers suggest a property that likely needs some attention or updating to compete with its neighbours.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Westwood?
The lot is 5,297 sqft, which ranks in the bottom 18% of the neighbourhood. Most homes in Westwood sit on larger parcels averaging around 6,491 sqft. This is one of the property’s weaker points relative to the area.

2. Is the assessed value of $368,000 below market?
It’s below the street average ($410,100) and slightly below the neighbourhood and city averages (both around $390,000). This may reflect the home’s condition, size, or lot—but it also means the property sits at a lower price point than many comparable homes in Westwood, which could appeal to value-conscious buyers.

3. What does “Top 94%” for year built on the street mean?
It means the home is older than 94% of the homes on Dickens Drive. The street average build year is 1968, and this house was built in 1967. On this block, most homes are slightly newer, so the property is on the older side locally.

4. Is a 1,200 sqft living area considered small for this area?
Yes, relative to the street. Dickens Drive homes average 1,445 sqft. But compared to Westwood broadly (1,372 sqft average) and Winnipeg as a whole (1,342 sqft), 1,200 sqft is within a typical range. It’s smaller than most of its immediate neighbours, but not unusual for the neighbourhood or city.

5. How does this home rank citywide?
Across Winnipeg, it falls near the 50th percentile for living area, assessed value, and year built, and the 48th percentile for lot size. That puts it squarely in the middle of the city’s housing stock—neither small nor large, neither old nor new, price-wise typical.
