84 Dellwood Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,170 sqft home, built in 1970 on a 3,000 sqft lot, sits in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighborhood. Its strongest feature is living space: at 1,170 sqft, it's larger than most homes on Dellwood Crescent (top 13%) and well above the Westdale average. The assessed value of $253,000, however, falls below both the neighborhood and citywide medians, which suggests the home may offer good value relative to its interior size.
The land is modest—3,000 sqft is smaller than typical for Westdale and well below city averages. This makes the property more of a "house-focused" buy rather than a lot play. The 1970 build year is average for the area but slightly newer than the citywide norm, meaning major systems (roof, mechanicals) may be approaching typical replacement age.
This home would likely suit buyers who prioritize interior square footage over yard space, or those looking for a property in a solid neighborhood without paying a premium for land. It could also appeal to someone who values being on a street where the home is above-average in size but below-average in assessed value—a combination that sometimes points to a property that hasn't been fully updated but offers good bones.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's assessed value compare to similar properties on the street?
The assessed value of $253,000 is around the street average of $257,100, ranking 29th out of 54 homes. It's not notably high or low for Dellwood Crescent, which is consistent with the home being slightly above average in size but average in age for the street.
2. Is the lot size considered small or typical for Westdale?
At 3,000 sqft, the lot is below average for the neighborhood. Most homes in Westdale sit on lots around 5,168 sqft, so this is a smaller property by local standards. That said, smaller lots often mean less maintenance and lower eventual replacement costs for things like driveways and fencing.
3. What does "ranked 5 out of 54 for year built" on the street actually mean?
It means only five homes on Dellwood Crescent were built later than 1970. This doesn't necessarily indicate the home is in better condition than older ones—it just means it's newer than most of its immediate neighbors. For context, many homes in the area were built in the late 1960s, so 1970 is right in the mix.
4. Why is the living area above average for the street but below average citywide?
Street and neighborhood averages tend to reflect the local housing stock. On Dellwood Crescent, many homes are in the 1,100–1,150 sqft range, so 1,170 sqft stands out. Citywide, the average for comparable homes is 1,342 sqft, meaning Winnipeg has a broader mix that includes larger suburban homes. This home is a comfortable size for its immediate area but not large on a citywide scale.
5. Does the "Around Average" ranking for assessed value mean it's fairly priced?
Not directly. Assessed value is a city appraisal, not a market price. What's useful here is the comparison: the home is above average in size (top 13% on the street) but only around average in assessed value. That gap sometimes indicates the home hasn't been recently renovated, or that its smaller lot keeps the valuation lower. For a buyer, it could mean there's less competition for a home that offers more interior space than its price suggests.
