7 Deerfield Place
This 1,210 sqft home built in 1972 sits on a notably large lot in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
The property’s strongest feature is its land. At 13,253 sqft, it ranks in the top 3% citywide for lot size and top 1% within the neighbourhood. Most comparable homes in Westdale sit on roughly 5,100 sqft lots, so this offers well over double the typical outdoor space. The living area is solidly above average for both the street and the neighbourhood, though unremarkable by citywide standards. The assessed value of $397,000 ranks top 5% locally, reflecting the land premium more than the house itself.
The appeal here is space—not in the home’s footprint, but in what you can do with the property. This would suit a buyer who values a large private yard, whether for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. It may also appeal to someone who sees the land as a long-term asset in a desirable area. The house itself is neither new nor unusually large, so it’s less suited to someone seeking modern finishes or maximum square footage per dollar.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property compare to others on Deerfield Place?
On its own street, it ranks first for both living area and assessed value, and second for land area. It’s the top performer in this small sample of 11 homes.
2. Why is the land area so much larger than average?
This is an anomaly within the neighbourhood. Most Westdale lots are under 6,000 sqft. This property’s 13,253 sqft lot places it among the largest 1% locally, which is more typical of older estate-style subdivisions or properties that were never subdivided.
3. Is the assessed value high because of the house or the land?
Primarily the land. The home’s living area and age are within normal ranges for the area, but the lot size drives the value well above the neighbourhood median ($307,400) and near the top of the street.
4. What does “around average” mean for citywide rankings?
The property falls near the middle for living area and assessed value when compared to all similar homes in Winnipeg. It’s not a standout on those metrics, but it’s also not below par—it’s the land that elevates the overall picture.
5. Who would this property not be right for?
Buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with modern interiors or a compact, low-maintenance yard would likely find this property mismatched. The value is tied to the lot, and the house itself may require updates or a longer-term vision.
