This property stands out most clearly at the street and neighbourhood level. On Harwood Crescent, it ranks first for living area (1,374 sqft), assessed value ($427K), and year built (1974). The lot size is 6,395 sqft, ranking sixth on the street.

Within the Westdale neighbourhood, the property ranks in the top 4% for living area, top 2% for assessed value, and top 9% for year built. Citywide, however, the picture is more moderate. The property sits around average for living area and assessed value when measured against all comparable homes in Winnipeg, though the lot remains above average (top 24%).
The appeal here is in the combination of size, newer construction (relative to the local stock), and a large lot in a well-regarded inner-city neighbourhood. This would suit buyers who want a home that stands out on its street and in its area—people who value being among the best in a specific pocket, rather than chasing citywide prestige. It may also appeal to those who want a larger lot for outdoor space, gardens, or future expansion, as that is an uncommon asset on Harwood Crescent. The assessed value suggests good long-term value relative to the city as a whole, which might attract investors or homeowners who plan to hold the property.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the year built compare to typical homes in Westdale?
The home was built in 1974, which is newer than the neighbourhood average of 1971 and much newer than the citywide median of 1966. On its street, it is the newest home. This is unusual for an established area like Westdale, where older homes are the norm.
2. Is the living area large relative to other homes on Harwood Crescent?
Yes. At 1,374 sqft, it is the largest on the street (top 1%). The average living area on Harwood Crescent is only 993 sqft. This gap is meaningful—anyone looking at the street will likely see this as one of the biggest homes.
3. Why is the property’s citywide rank only average in living area and assessed value?
Winnipeg includes many newer, larger homes in suburban areas, which pulls the citywide averages higher. This property competes well within its own street and neighbourhood, but across the whole city it does not stand out. That is typical for older, central neighbourhoods.
4. Is the lot size unusual for the area?
Yes. While the lot is 6,395 sqft—above average citywide—it is particularly large for Harwood Crescent, where the average lot is only 3,792 sqft. This makes the yard a distinct feature compared to most homes on the same street.
5. How were these rankings and averages calculated?
The rankings compare this property to other single-family homes within the same street, neighbourhood (Westdale), and city (Winnipeg). “Average” refers to a rough median benchmark for comparable homes in each scope. Rankings are based on living area, assessed value, year built, and lot size. Larger living area, higher value, newer year, and larger lot all result in better rankings.
