6 Sandham Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1967-built, 1,192 sqft home on a 5,879 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood. Its strongest selling point is the lot size: at 5,879 sqft, it ranks in the top 30% on the street and sits comfortably above the neighbourhood average of 5,168 sqft. The home itself is around average in living area compared to others on Sandham Crescent, but in the broader Westdale area, it’s notably roomier than many nearby homes (the neighbourhood average is 1,029 sqft). The year built is a story in two parts—on the street, it’s one of the oldest homes (top 7%), but in the neighbourhood (where many homes were built later, averaging 1971), it’s on the earlier side. This means you’re getting a solidly built 1960s house in a slightly newer part of Westdale. The assessed value ($350k) is about average for the street and citywide, but well above the neighbourhood norm ($307.4k), reflecting both the larger lot and the extra living space relative to nearby properties. The appeal here is straightforward: a good-sized lot in a well-ranked neighbourhood, with a house that doesn’t stand out in square footage but isn’t cramped either. It would suit a buyer who values yard space and a quieter, established residential area over a newer or larger interior. Someone who wants room for a garden, a shed, or future expansion, and doesn’t mind a home that’s not the newest on the block, would find this a practical fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Westdale?
It’s above the neighbourhood average. The lot is 5,879 sqft, which ranks in the top 39% of Westdale homes. It’s slightly smaller than the average for Sandham Crescent (6,041 sqft) but still considered a good-sized lot for the area.
2. Is this an older home for the neighbourhood?
Yes, but only relative to the immediate area. Built in 1967, it’s among the older homes on Sandham Crescent (top 7% of streets in terms of age). However, Westdale as a whole has an average build year of 1971, so the home is only a few years older than many of its neighbours.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighbourhood average?
The home’s assessed value of $350k exceeds the Westdale average of $307.4k. This is largely because it has more living space (1,192 sqft vs. a neighbourhood average of 1,029 sqft) and sits on a lot that is above average in size for the area. Location on the street itself doesn’t significantly boost the assessment—it’s squarely average there.
4. How does the living area compare to similar homes citywide?
It’s around average. Citywide, comparable homes have a median living area of 1,342 sqft, so this property is 150 sqft smaller. That said, it’s a typical size for its street and well above the Westdale norm, so it’s not undersized in context.
5. What’s the significance of the ranking data and the bar charts?
The rankings show how this property stacks up against other homes in three layers: the street, the neighbourhood, and the city. Higher percentile ranks (e.g., top 14%) mean it outperforms more homes. The bar charts visually represent how many comparable homes you’re ahead of—the longer the bar, the better. The vertical line on the bar is the median for the group, so the white tick shows where this property lands relative to that midpoint. The badge colour and icons (diamond, flame) indicate the property’s tier within that comparison group.
