3 Hammond Road, Westdale – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,232 sqft bungalow built in 1967, sitting on a 6,000 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $372,000. What stands out is the size: the living area is notably above average for both the street (top 13%) and the neighbourhood (top 9%), though it sits right around the citywide average. The lot is also generous compared to other Westdale properties (top 30%), giving more outdoor space than many nearby homes. The assessed value follows a similar pattern—strong relative to the area (top 12% in Westdale) but close to the Winnipeg median.
The year built is the one area where this property lags: it's older than most homes on the street and significantly older than the Westdale average (neighbourhood median is 1971, this one is 1967). That’s not necessarily a problem, but it may mean older mechanicals, windows, or roof, depending on upkeep.
The appeal here is straightforward: you get a home with above-average space and lot size in a desirable neighbourhood, at a price that’s still reasonable when compared citywide. It suits buyers who want good square footage and a proper yard without paying a premium for a fully renovated or newer build. Think families who’ll use the lot and living space, or someone willing to invest in updates over time rather than buying turnkey.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others in Westdale?
It’s one of the larger homes in the neighbourhood (top 9% for living area) with a bigger-than-average lot (top 30%). The assessed value reflects that—above the Westdale median. The trade-off is age: it’s among the older homes in the area.
2. Is the assessed value a realistic market price?
Assessed value is a benchmark used for property taxes, not a market valuation. In Westdale, this home ranks well above the neighbourhood average, which suggests it holds its value relative to peers. But market price depends on condition, updates, and buyer demand—always worth comparing with recent sales.
3. What’s the neighbourhood like for families?
Westdale is known for its established residential character, older tree-lined streets, and proximity to schools and parks. The larger lot and living area here are practical for family use. The age of the home might mean you’ll be budgeting for maintenance or upgrades, but the bones are solid for a 1960s bungalow.
4. How much work does a 1967 home typically need?
It depends on what’s been done so far. Common items in homes of this era include original windows, older furnace or water heater, and possible knob-and-tube wiring or asbestos in flooring or insulation. A pre-purchase inspection is wise. If those have been addressed, you’re mostly looking at cosmetic updates.
5. Why is the year built ranked lower than the citywide average?
Because the citywide median for comparable homes is 1966, so 1967 is essentially average citywide. The lower ranking comes from the neighbourhood (Westdale) and street (Hammond Road), where homes tend to be newer—many built in the late 60s and early 70s. Locally, it’s older; citywide, it’s typical.
