185 Raquette Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,040 sqft home, built in 1965, sits on a 5,122 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $310,000.
Where the appeal lies: The property is most notable for its age. It ranks among the older homes on its street (top 11%), which may appeal to buyers looking for more established construction or a home that predates some of the newer builds in the area. The living area, land size, and assessed value all fall below the neighbourhood averages, but they are around average compared to similar homes citywide. This suggests the property offers a relatively lower entry point for its street and neighbourhood—less square footage, a smaller lot, and a lower price tag than what is typical nearby.
What type of buyer it suits: This home is best suited for someone who prioritizes affordability within the Westwood area over maximum space or lot size. It may also appeal to buyers who see value in an older home that could be updated over time, or those who are less concerned with having a large yard and more focused on location and price relative to the immediate street. It’s not a fit for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with generous indoor or outdoor space by neighbourhood standards, but it could work well for a first-time buyer or someone looking to get into the market at a lower cost than the surrounding average.
