69 Columbus Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1964-built home with a living area of 1,544 square feet and a land area of 5,765 square feet, located in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighborhood. Its assessed value sits at $382,000.
Where the property stands out is in its living space. It ranks in the top 24% on its street, top 23% in the neighbourhood, and top 28% citywide for living area. That means it offers noticeably more interior room than most comparable homes in each of those scopes. The land area, however, is on the smaller side—ranking in the bottom third on its street and neighbourhood, though it fares better citywide (top 38%). The assessed value and year built both fall in the middle of the pack, with no strong advantages or disadvantages there.
The appeal here is practical: you get a house with generous square footage without paying a premium for it. The value is close to average for the area, so you're not subsidizing a high assessment. The smaller lot might discourage buyers who want a large yard for gardening or expansion, but for someone who prioritizes indoor space—and doesn't mind a compact outdoor footprint—it's a sensible trade-off. It would also suit a buyer who values consistency: the home's stats are stable across street, neighbourhood, and city comparisons, which suggests it's not an outlier on either the high or low end of the market.

It's above average. The Westwood neighbourhood average for similar homes is 1,372 square feet. This home is 172 square feet larger, ranking it in the top 23% of 2,523 properties in the area.
2. Is the assessed value high or low relative to similar properties?
It's close to the middle. On its street, the average assessed value is $399,800—this home is about $17,800 below that. Citywide, it ranks in the top 43% among 194,458 comparable homes, which puts it in a comfortable middle ground.
3. Why is the lot size smaller than the street average but stronger citywide?
On Columbus Crescent, the average lot is 6,143 square feet, so this home's 5,765-square-foot lot is about 6% smaller. But citywide, the average is 6,570 square feet, and this lot ranks in the top 38%. This often happens in older, established streets where lots are more variable; citywide averages include a wider range of newer subdivisions with bigger standard lots.
4. How does the home's age affect its ranking?
Built in 1964, it's slightly older than the street average of 1968 and the neighbourhood average of 1966. It ranks in the top 47% on the street and top 58% in the neighbourhood—so it's not the oldest home around, but it's also not among the newer ones. For a 1960s home, its ranking suggests it's in good company age-wise with nearby properties.
5. Where can I see how this property compares to specific nearby houses?
You can open the neighbourhood analysis map, which shows this property alongside nearby homes for direct comparisons on year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. It gives a more detailed view than the summary rankings alone.
