148 Browning Boulevard – Property Summary

1. Key Characteristics and Buyer Profile

This is a 1,562-square-foot home built in 1963 on a 5,770-square-foot lot in the Westwood area of Winnipeg. The living area is the standout feature: it ranks in the top 8% on Browning Boulevard, top 21% in the neighbourhood, and top 27% citywide. This means the home offers noticeably more interior space than most comparable properties at its price point.

The assessed value of $375,000 sits slightly below the neighbourhood average of $392,100, which gives it a modest edge in value per square foot. The lot size, while adequate at just under 6,000 square feet, is close to average for the street and slightly below the neighbourhood norm. This is not a property defined by its yard size.

The home would suit a buyer who prioritizes indoor space over land area—someone who expects generous room dimensions, possibly for a growing family, a home office setup, or entertainment use. Because the value aligns closely with local averages despite the larger footprint, it’s a practical choice for those looking to maximize square footage without paying a premium for lot size or a recently renovated exterior. Buyers comfortable with a 1960s home who may plan cosmetic updates rather than structural changes will find this appealing.

2. Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's living area compare to others nearby?
It's above average at all levels. On Browning Boulevard, it ranks 7th out of 87 homes (top 8%). In Westwood, it sits in the top 21% of 2,523 properties, and citywide it's in the top 27% of nearly 200,000 comparable homes. You're getting roughly 200 square feet more than the average home on this street.

2. Is the assessed value a fair reflection of the property?
It's around average for the neighbourhood and city, but above average for the street itself. The home is assessed at $375,000, which is about $16,000 above the Browning Boulevard average. Given the larger living area, the value per square foot comes out slightly lower than many nearby homes.

3. What's the lot like? Is it small?
The lot is 5,770 square feet. That's close to the street average of 6,026 square feet but below the Westwood average of 6,491. It's not a small lot by city standards—it ranks in the top 37% citywide—but it's not oversized either. If you're looking for extensive outdoor space, this might feel a bit tight compared to some neighbouring properties.

4. How old is the home, and does that matter for long-term costs?
Built in 1963, this home is representative of its era on this street. The average build year on Browning Boulevard is also 1963. Homes from this period often have solid framing but may need updates to mechanical systems, windows, or insulation depending on what's been done already. It's worth factoring in potential for those kinds of upgrades if they haven't been completed.

5. How does this property compare to others in Westwood overall?
It's a strong value play for the area. While the assessed value is slightly below the Westwood average, the living area is above average. You're essentially paying less per square foot than the neighbourhood norm. The trade-off is a lot size that's a bit smaller and a home that's about three years older than the Westwood average build year of 1966.
