83 Evenwood Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a compact single-family home in Westdale, built in 1970, with 848 square feet of living space on a 3,180-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $298,000.
The property’s standout feature is its assessed value relative to the immediate street. On Evenwood Crescent, it ranks #1 out of 56 homes—top 2%—with an average street value of $265,800. This suggests the home has been well-maintained or upgraded compared to its direct neighbours. However, that value advantage does not extend to the wider neighbourhood or city. In Westdale, it sits near the middle, and citywide it falls below average. Similarly, the living area is typical for the street but small compared to other homes in the area and across Winnipeg. The lot is also below average for both the neighbourhood and the city.
The appeal here is local: you get a home that holds its value well on its own block, in a solid middle-tier neighbourhood, without paying a premium for extra space or a large yard. It suits buyers who prioritize location and street-level value over square footage—someone who wants a manageable, efficient home in an established area and doesn’t need room to expand. It may also appeal to investors or first-time buyers looking for something affordable within a decent school catchment, where the home’s condition likely exceeds that of nearby listings.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On Evenwood Crescent, this home is the highest-valued property—ranked #1 out of 56—with an assessed value about $32,000 above the street average. But in the broader Westdale neighbourhood, it’s around the middle, and citywide it’s below the $390,000 average.
2. Is the living space unusually small?
Yes, relative to the neighbourhood and city. At 848 sqft, it is typical for the street but smaller than most homes in Westdale (average 1,029 sqft) and well below the Winnipeg average of 1,342 sqft. It would suit someone who doesn’t need multiple large rooms.
3. What is the lot size, and is that a concern?
The lot is 3,180 sqft, which is smaller than average for the street, the neighbourhood (average 5,168 sqft), and the city. If you want a big backyard or room for additions, this is not the property. But for low-maintenance living, the smaller lot could be a plus.
4. How old is the house, and has it been updated?
Built in 1970, it is one of the older homes on Evenwood Crescent (ranked #51 out of 56). The assessed value suggests it may have been updated, but the summary doesn’t specify. You would need to confirm the condition of major systems like roofing, plumbing, and heating separately.
5. Who would this home be a good fit for?
It works well for a single person, a couple, or a small family who want to be in Westdale without paying for a larger house. It could also suit someone downsizing who values a higher-value property on a good street over interior space. It’s less ideal for anyone needing a big yard or multiple bedrooms.
