99 Evenwood Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Who It’s For
This home sits on Evenwood Crescent in Westdale, Winnipeg, built in 1971. At 1,008 square feet, it’s larger than most homes on its street (top 20%), but smaller than average for the neighborhood and city as a whole. The 3,000-square-foot lot is on the smaller side relative to nearby properties. Assessed value is $236,000, which is below average for the street, neighborhood, and city.
The main appeal here is the relatively spacious interior for the street, paired with a below-market assessed value. That combination may signal a more affordable entry point into a desirable area, though the lot is compact and the home is not new. It would suit buyers who prioritize indoor square footage and location over a large yard or a newer build—first-time buyers or those looking to get into Westdale without paying a premium for land. It may also interest investors or renovators who see potential to add value in a neighborhood where many surrounding homes are assessed higher.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes?
The $236,000 assessment is notably below the street average of $265,800, the neighborhood average of $307,400, and the citywide average of $390,100. It ranks near the bottom on its street (96th percentile for lower value). That could mean lower property taxes, but it’s worth understanding whether the assessment reflects the home’s actual condition or just its size and age.
2. What’s the neighborhood like in terms of age and size of homes?
The property was built in 1971, which is slightly newer than the citywide median (1966) and consistent with the street and neighborhood averages. The living area is below the neighborhood median (1,029 sqft) and significantly below the city median (1,342 sqft). You’re getting a home that is typical of its era in age, but on the smaller side for the wider area.
3. Why is the land area so much smaller than the neighborhood average?
The 3,000 sqft lot ranks in the bottom 10% for the street, neighborhood, and city. This is common on older, tighter infill streets. It means less outdoor space for gardening or expansion, but also less upkeep. If you value a low-maintenance yard, this could be a plus rather than a drawback.
4. Is this a good candidate for renovation or addition?
Potentially, but the small lot (3,000 sqft) limits the scope for major additions without rezoning or variance. That said, the below-average assessed value relative to the neighborhood might give you room to improve the home without immediately hitting the ceiling of what comparable homes sell for. Always check local zoning and setback rules before planning structural changes.
5. How does this property compare to others currently on the market?
That depends on the specific listings nearby. The home’s living area is strong for its street but modest for the neighborhood, and its assessed value is low. It may stand out if other homes in Westdale at a similar price point are smaller or older. The neighborhood analysis page (linked from the original listing) allows you to compare year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size against nearby homes on a map.
