84 Hammond Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a 1,014 sqft single-family home built in 1968, sitting on a 5,956 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood. The assessed value is $337,000.
The living area is slightly below the citywide average for comparable homes but falls in line with what’s typical on Hammond Road and within Westdale. The lot size is a bit above the neighbourhood average, though slightly below the citywide norm. The home is older than most in Westdale (where the average build year is 1971) but close to the citywide median.
The property’s appeal is its balance: it’s not standout in any one metric, but it’s consistently average or close to it across the board. That can be an advantage if you’re looking for a home that doesn’t come with a premium for being unusually large, new, or assessed high. The lot is roomy enough for outdoor space without being oversized or hard to maintain.
This property would suit buyers who are comfortable with a mid-century home in a well-established neighbourhood, and who prioritize a solid lot size and reasonable assessed value over a newer build or extra square footage. It may also appeal to those who want to avoid the competition often attached to top-ranked homes in any category.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value is $337,000, which is right around the street average ($337,100) and above the Westdale neighbourhood average ($307,400). It’s below the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100). So you’re paying more than the typical Westdale home but less than what’s common citywide.
2. Is this considered an older home for Westdale?
Yes. The average build year in Westdale is 1971, and this home was built in 1968. It’s older than about 88% of homes in the neighbourhood, and roughly in line with the citywide median of 1966. Buyers should plan for typical maintenance of a home from this era.
3. How does the lot size compare to others in the area?
The lot is 5,956 sqft, which is slightly below the Hammond Road average of 6,075 sqft but above the Westdale average of 5,168 sqft. Citywide, it falls in the top third (34%) of lot sizes for comparable homes. So it’s a decent-sized lot by neighbourhood standards, though not unusually large.
4. Is the living area small compared to other homes in Winnipeg?
Yes, it’s below the citywide average of 1,342 sqft for comparable homes. However, it’s very close to the averages on Hammond Road (1,050 sqft) and in Westdale (1,029 sqft). So it’s typical for the immediate area, even if it’s on the smaller side citywide.
5. What does “around average” really mean in these rankings?
It means this property lands in the middle range of comparable homes. For example, on Hammond Road it ranks 45th out of 100 in assessed value (top 45%), and 49th out of 100 in lot size (top 49%). These aren’t outliers either way. The rankings compare similar properties—same type, same neighbourhood or street—so they show how it stacks up against homes it competes with directly.
