This 1,344 sqft home on a 6,087 sqft lot was built in 1968 and sits in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighborhood. The assessed value is $473,000.
What stands out here is value relative to size. While the living area is around average for the street, neighborhood, and city, the assessed value ranks well above average—top 10% on Dickens Drive and top 11% in Westwood. This suggests the property carries a higher valuation than its square footage alone would predict, likely due to land value, condition, or location within the area. The lot itself is slightly smaller than the neighborhood average but remains above average citywide.
The year built is above average for the street and neighborhood, meaning it’s newer than many surrounding homes, though roughly middle-of-the-pack citywide.
This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes location and lot value over interior square footage. It’s a good fit for someone who sees potential in an older home in a well-established neighborhood—especially if they’re willing to renovate or add square footage over time. It may also appeal to buyers who want a solidly built home from the late 1960s in an area where similar properties hold their value well.
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
The living area is essentially average at every level—street, neighborhood, and city. It’s slightly below the street average (1,445 sqft) but above the citywide average (1,342 sqft). You’re not getting a particularly spacious or cramped interior.
2. Why is the assessed value so much higher than average if the house isn’t large?
Assessed value reflects more than square footage. A higher-than-average ranking despite average size suggests the land itself holds significant value, or the home has been well-maintained, updated, or sits on a particularly desirable part of the street.
3. Is the lot size considered small or large?
It depends on the comparison. At 6,087 sqft, the lot is slightly below the street and neighborhood averages but above the citywide average. It’s a modest suburban lot—not tight, but not oversized for Westwood.
4. What does “above average” for year built actually mean here?
The home was built in 1968, which is newer than the neighborhood average (1966) and the street average (also 1968, so tied). It’s not a new build, but it’s from a period when construction quality is generally solid. It ranks in the top 24% on the street for newer construction.
5. Who typically buys homes like this in Westwood?
Often buyers who want a quiet, established neighborhood with mature trees and stable property values but aren’t looking for a move-in-ready modern home. Some are investors or first-time buyers planning to renovate gradually. Others are downsizers who want a manageable lot in a well-rated area.
