66 Sandham Crescent, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,126 sqft bungalow built in 1967 on a 5,688 sqft lot in Westdale, with an assessed value of $317,000.
The property sits in an interesting middle ground. It's one of the older homes in a neighbourhood that skews newer—ranked near the bottom (top 93%) for age compared to nearby properties, but one of the oldest on its own street simply because many of its immediate neighbours are similarly aged. The living area is modest for the street but slightly generous for the neighbourhood, and the assessed value falls roughly in the middle for Westdale but below average for the immediate block.
The lot is a mixed story too: slightly smaller than the street average, but about average for Westdale, and notably smaller than the citywide typical parcel. That isn't unusual for an older, well-established area.
Who this might suit: A buyer who wants a solid, older home in a mature neighbourhood without paying a premium for the street's highest-end finishes or largest square footage. It's a reasonable entry point into Westdale, where many homes are newer and pricier. Because the property ranks lower on its own street for size and value, there may be more room to add value over time—but the trade-off is that it's not the standout house on the block.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On its street, the value of $317,000 is the lowest of 30 comparable homes (average: $353,900). But within the broader Westdale neighbourhood, it's right around the middle (top 47%), with the neighbourhood average at $307,400. So it's weak relative to immediate neighbours, but not out of step with the area.
2. Is this considered a small lot for Winnipeg?
Slightly. The lot is 5,688 sqft, compared to the citywide average of 6,570 sqft for comparable homes. It's about average for Westdale (5,168 sqft) but below the street average (6,041 sqft). Not cramped, but not generous by city standards.
3. What does the year built tell me about the home's condition or style?
Built in 1967, this is one of the older homes on the street (top 7%), but about average city-wide. In Westdale, the median home is from 1971, so this is a few years older than most nearby. That often means simpler construction and potentially original features that may need updating, but also a solid build era without the issues of much older homes.
4. How does the living area compare to other homes in Westdale?
At 1,126 sqft, it's slightly above the Westdale average of 1,029 sqft (top 27% for the neighbourhood). But on its street, it's well below the average of 1,268 sqft. So it's a smaller house on a block of larger ones, but a reasonably sized home for the area overall.
5. What's the best argument for buying this property?
It's one of the more affordable options in a desirable, well-ranked neighbourhood where many homes are larger and newer. If you're not looking for the biggest house on the street and you're comfortable with a home that's older than most of its neighbours, it represents a chance to live in Westdale without competing for the top-tier properties. The lot, while not oversized, is still functional and average for the area.
