6682 Betsworth Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This is a 1972-built home in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood, with 829 sqft of living space on a 5,495 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $318,000.
Where this property stands out is its build year. At 1972, it’s newer than most homes on its street (top 25%) and slightly newer than the Westdale average. That means it likely has more modern construction standards and systems than many nearby homes built in the mid-1960s.
The living space and lot size are where the property sits below average. At 829 sqft, it's roughly 25% smaller than the typical home on Betsworth Avenue and about 20% smaller than the Winnipeg average. The lot is also on the smaller side for the street, though it's close to the Westdale average. The assessed value is low for the street but nearly matches the Westdale average, suggesting the price reflects the smaller footprint rather than any neighborhood-wide concerns.
This home would best suit a buyer who prioritizes a newer build over square footage—someone who values updated mechanicals and structure over having extra rooms. It may also appeal to those looking for a more manageable lot size in a neighbourhood where larger yards are the norm, or to buyers who see the smaller floor plan as an opportunity to renovate or add space down the line.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the size compare to other homes I might be looking at in Westdale?
It's smaller than the Westdale average of 1,029 sqft, but not dramatically so. The bigger difference is on Betsworth Avenue itself, where most homes are around 1,100 sqft. If you're looking at mid-century bungalows in the area, many will feel roomier.
2. Why is the assessed value low for the street but average for the neighbourhood?
Betsworth Avenue has a higher average assessed value ($360,000), likely because it includes larger homes. Westdale as a whole sits around $307,000, so this property's $318,000 is squarely in the middle for the community.
3. Is a 1972 home considered old or new in Winnipeg?
It's right around the average for the city—newer than about 45% of Winnipeg homes, older than about 55%. On Betsworth Avenue, it's one of the newer homes. In the broader context, 1972 is solidly mid-range.
4. Will the smaller lot be a problem for resale?
Westdale lots average 5,168 sqft, so this 5,495 sqft lot is actually slightly above the neighbourhood average. The advantage is less yard maintenance. The catch is that it's small relative to Betsworth Avenue's 6,563 sqft average—so if neighbors' yards are a consideration for you, that's worth noting.
5. What are the practical implications of the living area being below the street average?
Fewer square feet means less space to furnish and heat, which can lower utility costs. It also may mean fewer bedrooms or a more compact layout. For a buyer who doesn't need a formal dining room or home office, that's often a trade-off worth making for a newer build and a more manageable property.
