143 Harwood Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,152 sqft home on a generous 6,593 sqft lot, originally built in 1974. Its standout feature is the land. On Harwood Crescent, it ranks 4th out of 70 homes for lot size (top 6%), and within the Westdale neighbourhood it sits in the top 14%. The assessed value of $365,000 is also strong for the street—5th out of 70 (top 7%)—suggesting the property holds its value well relative to neighbours. The living area is above average locally (top 20% in Westdale) but roughly on par with wider Winnipeg averages. The home’s age places it among the newer builds on the street (top 1%) and in the area (top 9%), which may appeal to buyers who want a home that’s not brand new but still younger than many nearby properties.
The appeal is less about flashy square footage indoors and more about outdoor space and relative value within a desirable neighbourhood. This would suit a buyer who prioritises a large, private lot—perhaps for gardening, expansion, or simply avoiding the tight yards common in newer subdivisions. It could also fit someone looking for a solid, mid-century-era home in a well-ranked area without paying a premium for a fully renovated interior. Families or downsizers who want room to spread out without moving to a far suburb may find it practical. However, buyers expecting a sprawling interior or a completely turnkey modern finish might want to look elsewhere.
