Property Summary: 60 Eager Crescent
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This 1968-built home in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood sits on a 5,998 sqft lot with 856 sqft of living space. Compared to other properties on Eager Crescent, the living area is close to average (the street average is 965 sqft), but relative to the wider Westdale community and the city as a whole, it falls below typical sizes. The lot size, however, is a standout feature—it ranks in the top 27% on the street and top 32% city-wide, meaning the land is larger than many comparable homes. The assessed value of $338,000 sits near the middle of the pack locally but is slightly below the city average of $390,000.
The property’s appeal lies in its land-to-building ratio. Buyers who value outdoor space, gardening, or future expansion potential will see more opportunity here than in the interior square footage alone. It’s also worth noting that the home’s age (1968) is typical for the street and roughly in line with the city median, so it won’t stand out as either exceptionally dated or newly built within its immediate context.
This home would suit buyers who prioritize lot size and a stable, established neighbourhood over a large, updated interior. First-time buyers looking for a entry point into Westdale, or those willing to invest in renovations over time, would find the property practical. It’s less suited for someone seeking move-in-ready, turnkey space or a house that compares favourably on square footage alone.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in the area?
On Eager Crescent, the 856 sqft is close to the street average of 965 sqft, placing it in the middle of the block. But in Westdale and across Winnipeg, it’s below average—the community average is 1,029 sqft, and the city average is 1,342 sqft. So in a broader context, it’s a compact home.
2. Is the assessed value of $338,000 reasonable?
The assessment is almost exactly in line with the street average ($340,000) and slightly above the Westdale average ($307,000). It’s below the city average of $390,000. For what you’re getting in terms of land versus building size, it sits in a fair middle range locally.
3. What’s the advantage of the lot size here?
At nearly 6,000 sqft, the lot is larger than most on the street (where the average is 6,256 sqft, so only slightly smaller than the street average) and significantly larger than typical Westdale lots (average 5,168 sqft). That gives you more yard space than many neighbours—good for a shop, garden, or future addition if zoning allows.
4. Is the home older than others nearby?
The 1968 build year is very close to the street average of 1969 and the Winnipeg average of 1966. It’s slightly older than the Westdale average of 1971, but not by a wide margin. The home fits the typical age profile of the neighbourhood.
5. What kind of buyer would get the most value from this property?
Someone who sees the land as the primary asset rather than the house itself. The interior is modest for the area, so a buyer willing to update gradually—or one who simply needs less living space but wants a good-sized yard in a settled street—would find it a practical fit. It’s not a house that will impress on square footage alone, and that honesty matters.
