184 Westgrove Way – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1971-built home with 878 square feet of living space on a 1,380-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $200,000. The property's strongest feature is its construction year—it ranks in the top 5% on its street and sits around average for both the Westdale neighbourhood and Winnipeg as a whole. That means the home is well within the typical age range for the area, not an outlier that might require extra structural attention.
Where the property falls short is lot size and overall square footage. The lot is in the bottom 22% on the street and bottom 2% in the neighbourhood. The living area is below average for Westdale and the city, though it holds its own compared to other homes on Westgrove Way. The assessed value reflects this: it's below the Westdale average ($307,400) and well below the city average ($390,100), ranking in the bottom 8% citywide.
Appeal and buyer fit: This home would suit someone looking for a more affordable entry point into Westdale—a desirable central neighbourhood in Winnipeg—without paying a premium for a large lot or extra square footage. It may also appeal to buyers who prioritize a home that's typical of the area's building stock and don't need a big yard or expansive interior. The low assessed value could mean lower property taxes relative to neighbours, though buyers should verify that. It's less suited to families wanting a large outdoor space or anyone looking for a fixer-upper based on age—while the year is common for the area, condition is unknown from the stats alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Westgrove Way?
It's near the average for living space and assessed value, ranking in the middle of the street (top 55% for value, top 36% for size). The lot is smaller than most on the street—ranked 86th out of 110—and the home itself is among the newer ones, ranking in the top 5% for year built.
2. What does a rank of “Top 97%” in the neighbourhood mean for assessed value?
It means the assessed value of $200,000 is lower than 97% of comparable homes in Westdale. The neighbourhood average is over $307,000. This could indicate a more modest home in a higher-value area, or it may reflect a lack of recent updates compared to neighbours. Either way, it suggests the property is priced below the typical Westdale home.
3. Is a 1,380-square-foot lot a problem?
It depends on your needs. The lot is well below average for Westdale (where lots average 5,168 sqft). If you want a garden, room for expansions, or privacy from neighbours, this will feel tight. However, for someone who prefers minimal yard maintenance or lives close to amenities, a smaller lot can be a practical trade-off.
4. How do I know if the home needs major repairs given its age (1971)?
The data doesn't cover condition. A 1971 home in Winnipeg could have updated mechanicals, windows, and roofing—or be original. What the stats do tell you is that it's a typical age for the neighbourhood, so many nearby homes have the same baseline. It's not an unusually old house that might carry hidden structural risks, but you'll need an inspection to assess the actual state of things like the foundation, electrical, and plumbing.
5. What does the bar chart and ranking system actually show?
The length of the bar reflects what percentage of comparable homes your property outperforms for that metric—a longer bar is better. The red-to-yellow-to-blue gradient shows relative performance from weak to strong. The dashed vertical line is the median benchmark for the street, neighbourhood, or city, and your position is marked with a white tick. So for example, the lot size bar is likely short (red-ish), while the year built bar would be long (blue-ish).
