74 Dickens Drive – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1968 bungalow offers 1,340 square feet of living space on a 5,878-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $374,000.

What stands out here is not flashiness but balance. The home’s living area is slightly below the street average but sits within the top 39% citywide, suggesting it’s a modestly sized property in a context where smaller homes are common. The land area is similarly unremarkable on the street but ranks in the top 35% across Winnipeg—meaning you get a usable yard relative to typical city lots.

The year built (1968) is above average for both the street and the Westwood neighbourhood, which hints at a slightly newer build than many surrounding homes. The assessed value is below average on Dickens Drive but right around average for Westwood and the city as a whole, pointing to fair pricing for the area.

This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes a solid, middle-of-the-road home in an established neighbourhood—someone not chasing prestige or square footage, but who wants a realistic entry point into a stable area. The land-to-living-area ratio also appeals to gardeners, small-scale renovators, or families who value outdoor space over interior size.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the property compare to others on Dickens Drive?
On the street, it ranks in the lower half for assessed value (top 74%) and land area (top 70%), but near the middle for living area (top 56%). Its year built is in the top 24%, so it’s one of the newer homes on the block. In short: a newer home on an average-sized lot, priced below the street median.

2. What does “Top 39%” citywide mean for living area?
It means this home’s living space is larger than about 39% of comparable homes across Winnipeg, and smaller than 61%. It’s not a large house by city standards, but not unusually small either—it falls in the solidly average range.

3. Is the assessed value of $374k a good deal for Westwood?
The neighbourhood average for assessed value is $392k, so this property is about 5% below that. It’s also below the street average of $410k. This could reflect a need for updates, a less desirable lot orientation, or simply a market-adjusted price. Worth looking into the home’s condition and recent sales on the block.

4. Why is the land area (5,878 sqft) considered “around average” on the street but top 35% citywide?
Because Dickens Drive has relatively large lots—the street average is 6,225 sqft—so this one is smaller than many neighbours’. But citywide, where lot sizes vary more widely, a 5,878-square-foot plot is still on the larger side. This is typical for an older suburban area with deep yards.

5. How does the year-built date affect things?
Built in 1968, the home is newer than the median home in Westwood (1966) and on its street (1968). While not modern, it’s from a decade known for solid construction and simple layouts. Buyers should still expect original mechanicals or finishes unless recent updates have been made.
