22 Hammond Road – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Who It Suits

This is an unusually spacious home for its street and neighbourhood. With 1,740 square feet of living area, it ranks in the top 1% both on Hammond Road and in Westdale, where the average home is roughly 1,050 square feet. That extra space is the property’s strongest selling point—especially compared to citywide averages, which sit around 1,342 square feet.

The assessed value of $386,000 is above average locally (top 10% on the street, top 8% in the neighbourhood), but roughly average for Winnipeg as a whole. This suggests the home offers more space for the money relative to the wider market. The land area is on the smaller side for the street (5,499 sqft vs. the street average of 6,075) but right in line with the neighbourhood. The home was built in 1967, which is typical for the city but older than most in Westdale (where the average is 1971).

Where the appeal lies: The main draw is interior space. Buyers looking for a larger floor plan in a well-regarded neighbourhood—without paying a premium for a huge lot—will find this fits the bill. The home stands out on paper for its room count and square footage, not its yard or age.

Who it would suit: Families or homeowners who prioritize indoor living space over outdoor area. Also, buyers who want a home in a top-ranked neighbourhood (Westdale is an elite area by living area standards) but at a price that doesn’t carry a neighbourhood premium—the assessed value suggests the market hasn’t fully priced in the size advantage yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
It’s significantly larger. On Hammond Road, it’s ranked #1 out of 100 homes, and in Westdale, #13 out of 1,460. The average home in the neighbourhood is about 1,000 square feet, so this property offers roughly 700 extra square feet.

2. Is the assessed value high for what you get?
Locally, yes—it’s in the top 10% on the street and top 8% in the area. But citywide, it’s around average. That means you’re paying a modest premium for the neighbourhood, but the assessed value doesn’t fully reflect the size advantage compared to similar homes in other parts of Winnipeg.

3. Why is the land area ranked so low on the street?
The lot is 5,499 square feet, while the average on Hammond Road is 6,075. So it’s below average for that specific street, but it matches the neighbourhood median almost exactly. If a large yard is important, this may not be the best fit.

4. Is an older home like this (1967) likely to need more maintenance?
It’s older than the neighbourhood average by about four years, but in line with the city average. Age alone isn’t a red flag, but it’s worth noting that homes from the 1960s often have original mechanicals or finishes. A home inspection would clarify the condition.

5. How does this property compare to others in Westdale overall?
It’s an outlier for its size in a neighbourhood where smaller homes are the norm. The trade-off is a smaller lot and slightly older construction. For someone who values square footage and location over a modern build or a big yard, it’s a strong option that doesn’t seem fully reflected in the assessed value.
