919 Dale Boulevard – Property Summary
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,072 sqft home built in 1975, sitting on a 5,596 sqft lot in the Westdale neighbourhood of Winnipeg. The property’s main distinction is its age relative to the surrounding area. It was built more recently than most homes on Dale Boulevard (top 10% on the street) and is in an elite tier within Westdale itself—ranked 47th out of 1,460 properties, putting it in the top 3% for newer construction. The assessed value of $366,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of $307,400 (top 16%), but remains close to the citywide average for comparable homes.
The living area is unremarkable for the area—ranking near the middle on the street and citywide—and the lot size is consistent with typical neighbourhood lots. Where this property stands out is not square footage, but timing and value retention. It offers a newer build in an established neighbourhood without the premium of a completely modern home.
This property suits buyers who want a solid, well-located house in a mature neighbourhood, but are not chasing maximum space or lot size. It would work well for someone who values being in a slightly newer home within an older area, or for a buyer who sees the assessed value as reasonable relative to the neighbourhood’s character. It may also appeal to those who want a home that doesn’t need major updates but isn’t brand-new, sparing them the new-build markup.
Section 2: Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on Dale Boulevard directly?
It’s one of the newer homes on the street (top 10%), and its assessed value sits above average (top 30%). Living area and lot size are both typical for the street, so you’re not paying a premium for extra space—just for the newer construction.
2. Is the assessed value high for what you get?
When compared to the neighbourhood average ($307,400), the assessed value of $366,000 is above average. But citywide, the average for similar homes is $390,100, so it’s actually below that benchmark. You’re paying above the local norm but below the citywide average for comparable properties.
3. How old are the homes in Westdale generally?
The average year built in the neighbourhood is 1971, so this home is slightly newer. On the street itself, the average is 1974. The property being built in 1975 puts it among the newer stock in both contexts.
4. What does the lot size mean practically?
At 5,596 sqft, the lot is very close to the street and neighbourhood averages. It’s not oversized, but it’s not undersized either. For a typical single-family home, this gives you a standard backyard and frontage without extra upkeep.
5. Should I rely on the citywide ranking for living area?
The citywide ranking (top 64%) suggests this home is smaller than many comparable homes across Winnipeg. But that’s partly because the average citywide for this class of home is 1,342 sqft. If you’re used to older Winnipeg homes, 1,072 sqft is not unusually small—it’s just not spacious by current standards.
