143 Carroll Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics and Buyer Profile
This is a 1968-built home with 1,560 square feet of living space on a 5,455-square-foot lot, assessed at $392,000. Its standout feature is the living area, which ranks well above average across the street, neighbourhood, and city. The home is meaningfully larger than most comparable properties—placing in the top 16% on Carroll Road and top 21% in Westwood. That extra space is the primary appeal, especially for someone who values interior square footage over a large yard.
The land area tells a different story. This lot is notably smaller than most others on the street (second smallest out of 45 homes) and below average for the neighbourhood. Buyers should be aware that outdoor space is limited relative to nearby properties. The assessed value sits around the median, so there’s no obvious undervaluation or overvaluation built in. The year built is slightly newer than the street and neighbourhood average, which may be a minor advantage for maintenance and systems age.
This property suits buyers who prioritize a larger interior footprint in a settled, established neighbourhood, and who are comfortable with a compact lot. It would be a fit for a family or couple wanting more rooms without paying a premium for acreage. It may also appeal to renovators looking to add value in a location where the assessed value is still moderate relative to the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
The home has 1,560 sqft, which is about 15% above the average on Carroll Road (1,353 sqft) and the Westwood neighbourhood (1,372 sqft). It ranks in the top 16% on the street and top 21% in the area.
2. Is the property overpriced given its smaller lot?
Not compared to similar homes in the area. The assessed value is $392,000, effectively right at the neighbourhood average ($392,100). While the lot is smaller than most neighbouring properties, the larger house compensates in the valuation.
3. What is the condition of a home built in 1968?
No condition report is available from this data. A 1968 build suggests original systems (roof, furnace, windows, plumbing, electrical) may be original or updated. As with any home of this age, an inspection is recommended. Its citywide year-built rank is average, so it reflects typical stock from that era.
4. How does the ranking system work?
Rankings compare this property against comparable homes within the same street, neighbourhood, and city. A lower rank number (e.g., #7 out of 45) means higher living area or newer construction. For land area, a higher rank number means a smaller lot. Assessed value ranking uses higher value as better.
5. What is the neighbourhood like?
Westwood is an established Winnipeg residential area with a mix of mid-century homes, mature trees, and standard amenities. The property sits on Carroll Road, a street where most homes have larger lots than this one, so surroundings may feel more spacious than this property’s own yard suggests. Convenience to local services and schools would be typical for the area.
