Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1971-built home on Fitzgerald Crescent with 1,162 sq. ft. of living space on a 6,294 sq. ft. lot. Its strongest selling point is the living area, which ranks in the top 11% on the street and top 18% in the Westdale neighbourhood—meaning it’s noticeably more spacious than nearby homes of the same era. The assessed value ($372k) is also above average for both the street and neighbourhood, though it sits around the citywide median. The lot, while slightly smaller than others on the same crescent, is well above average for Westdale and the city as a whole.
The appeal here is subtle but real: this isn’t a flashy property, but it offers above-average interior space and lot size relative to its immediate neighbours, without the premium of a newer build. It would suit a buyer who values extra square footage for living and outdoor space but doesn’t need a large lot by suburban standards. Someone looking for a solid, middle-aged home in a well-ranked neighbourhood—where the comparable homes are mostly similar in age and character—would find this practical. It’s less suited for those seeking a modern floor plan or a standout yard.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare locally?
On Fitzgerald Crescent, this home’s lot is in the bottom 15%, meaning many neighbours have more land. However, within Westdale and across Winnipeg, it ranks in the top quarter. So it’s a smaller lot relative to the street, but generous for the broader area.
2. Is the assessed value reasonable for what you get?
The value sits above the street average but below the citywide average for comparable homes. Given the larger-than-average living area and lot for the neighbourhood, the assessment appears consistent with local norms. It’s not undervalued, but not inflated either.
3. How old is the house, and does that matter?
Built in 1971, this home is the newest on its street (rank #1). Across Westdale and the city, it’s around the median age. That means you avoid some of the maintenance issues of older homes, but it’s still a 50+ year-old house—expect systems and finishes to reflect that era unless updated.
4. What does “around average” citywide mean for living area?
The 1,162 sq. ft. is very close to the urban median for similar homes. While it stands out locally, it won’t feel oversized compared to a typical Winnipeg house. Think comfortable, not expansive.
5. How do rankings work for year built and lot size?
Lower rank numbers are better—so rank #1 on the street for year built is excellent (newest), but rank #23 for lot size is below average (smaller). The bar graphs show how many comparable homes you’re ahead of, with a vertical line marking the median. A white tick marks your position.
