170 Berrydale Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 864-square-foot bungalow built in 1959, sitting on a 5,554-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Worthington neighbourhood. The home’s assessed value is $305,000.

What stands out: The property’s main appeal is its age. Built in 1959, it ranks among the older homes on Berrydale Avenue (top 15% on the street) and is slightly older than the neighbourhood average. For buyers who appreciate mid-century construction—often meaning solid materials, established landscaping, and mature trees—this can be a draw. The living area is on the smaller side compared to street, neighbourhood, and city averages, but the assessed value remains competitive, landing roughly in line with its immediate surroundings. The lot is notably smaller than typical on the street (top 87% means most nearby lots are larger), though it’s closer to average citywide.

Who it suits: This property is a reasonable fit for first-time buyers or downsizers who want a compact, older home in a settled neighbourhood without paying a premium for square footage or land. It will likely appeal most to someone willing to update or maintain a 65-year-old house rather than expecting move-in-ready modern finishes. The value proposition is in the location and lot context, not the size. Buyers looking for a big yard or generous living space should probably look elsewhere on Berrydale.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Worthington?
The lot is 5,554 sqft, which is below average for Berrydale Avenue (9,725 sqft average) but fairly typical for the wider neighbourhood and city. It ranks in the bottom third on the street itself, but around the middle in Worthington and Winnipeg overall.

2. Is the assessed value of $305,000 a good deal?
It's very close to the street average ($300,000) and the neighbourhood average ($315,300). While it's well below the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100), that's partly because the house and lot are smaller than typical. It’s priced in line with what local buyers are paying.

3. What does “taon ng paggawa” mean, and why does it matter?
That's the year built. This home was constructed in 1959. On Berrydale, that’s older than most (top 15%), which can mean different things: potentially better original craftsmanship and established gardens, but also likely older systems (plumbing, electrical, windows) that may need updating.

4. Why is the living area ranked lower than the assessed value?
Living area and assessed value aren't perfectly correlated. This home's 864 sqft is smaller than average, so it ranks lower for size. But the assessed value holds up because location, lot value, and market conditions in Worthington keep prices stable despite the smaller footprint. Value isn't just about square footage.

5. Should I be concerned that the property ranks low for living area citywide?
Not necessarily. Ranking in the bottom 86% citywide means most homes in Winnipeg are larger, but that doesn't make this a bad property—it just means it's compact. Many buyers specifically want a smaller, lower-maintenance home. The trade-off is usually a lower purchase price and less upkeep.
