143 Barron Drive – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,741 sqft home built in 1965 on a 5,532 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. Its standout feature is the living area—among the largest on the street (top 4%) and well above average both in the neighbourhood and citywide. The assessed value of $416,000 also leads the street (top 2%), though it sits closer to the city average when compared more broadly. The land area is typical for the street but below the neighbourhood norm, which may matter to buyers wanting more outdoor space.
The appeal here is less about curb appeal or lot size and more about interior square footage relative to price. For buyers who prioritize room to spread out—without paying a premium for a large yard—this property offers a strong value. It would suit a family needing extra living space, or someone who wants a solid mid-century home in an established area where similar homes are often smaller. The year built (1965) is unremarkable for the street and neighbourhood, so there’s no vintage premium or penalty.
Buyers should be aware that while the living area is a clear asset, the land area is slightly tight for the area. If you’re comparing with neighbouring properties, you may get more house on less ground.
