10 Longfellow Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2,134 sqft home built in 1968, set on a 7,529 sqft lot. Its standout feature is size: the living area ranks in the top 4% within the Westwood neighbourhood and top 8% citywide in Winnipeg, well above typical homes in the area. The land is also generous by neighbourhood and city standards (top 14% and top 13%, respectively), offering more outdoor space than most nearby properties.
On its own street, the property is more average—living area is slightly above the street median, while land and assessed value fall below the street average. This suggests Longfellow Bay has some larger, pricier homes, making this one a relatively accessible entry point on that block. The assessed value ($479k) is strong compared to the neighbourhood and city (top 10% and top 23%), but lower than the street average, reinforcing that it offers good value relative to its immediate neighbours.
Who it suits: Buyers who want more interior space and a larger lot than typical for Westwood or Winnipeg, without paying a premium for the top end of the street. It may appeal to families needing room to grow, or anyone who values square footage and outdoor space over a “best on the block” address. The 1968 build is mid-century, so it may attract renovators or those who prefer a solid older structure with potential for updates.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It’s around average in living area and year built, but below average in land size and assessed value. It ranks 18th out of 24 homes on Longfellow Bay for both land and assessed value, meaning it’s one of the more modest properties on the street—but still well above neighbourhood and city averages.
2. Is the assessed value of $479k a good deal?
That depends. Compared to the street average of $514k, it’s below average. But against the neighbourhood average of $392k and citywide average of $390k, it’s notably higher. You’re paying a premium for the larger living area and lot relative to the broader area, but getting a relative discount compared to other homes on this particular street.
3. What is the lot like compared to other homes nearby?
The land area (7,529 sqft) is below the street average of 8,310 sqft, but larger than typical lots in Westwood (6,491 sqft) and the city (6,570 sqft). It’s a good-sized yard by local standards, just not the biggest on the block.
4. Is the house old or new?
Built in 1968, it’s around the same age as most homes in the neighbourhood (average 1966) and on the street (average 1969). It’s not unusually old or new for the area—typical mid-century construction.
5. What does “top 4%” or “top 8%” actually mean?
These rankings show how this property compares to similar homes within different boundaries. For living area, it’s in the top 4% of Westwood (out of 2,523 homes) and top 8% citywide (out of 194,458). That means if you lined up all comparable homes in the neighbourhood, only 4% would have more interior space. The rankings are based on a median benchmark for “comparable homes” in each area.
