120 Wordsworth Way – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,134 sqft home built in 1963 on a 5,983 sqft lot in the Westwood neighbourhood. What stands out is the construction year—it ranks in the top 12% on its street, meaning it's among the older, more established homes in the immediate area. The lot size is essentially average for the street and neighbourhood, while the living area falls slightly below the local and neighbourhood averages.
Appeal lies in its solidly vintage build year and a lot that gives you typical Westwood yard space without being oversized. It's not a standout in square footage or assessed value—both rank below the street and neighbourhood medians—but it's not drastically off the citywide average either. This is a property where the bones, not the numbers, would likely be the draw.
This would suit a buyer who values an older home's character and construction quality over maximum square footage, and who isn't looking to pay a premium for recent upgrades or a larger floor plan. It's also a reasonable entry point into Westwood for someone willing to put in some updates over time, rather than buying a move-in-ready, higher-priced property.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's assessed value compare to others in Westwood?
It's below the neighbourhood average of $392,100, ranked in the 83rd percentile of lower-value homes. Citywide, it's around the middle—ranked 60th percentile—so it's not overpriced relative to Winnipeg as a whole.
2. Is the lot size considered small or large for this area?
It's average. At 5,983 sqft, it ranks near the median on the street (top 65%) and just about dead centre in the neighbourhood (top 48%). It's not a compact city lot, but it's also not oversized compared to neighbours.
3. Why is the year built noteworthy?
The home was built in 1963, which makes it older than 88% of the homes on Wordsworth Way. That's unusual for a street where the average build year is 1962—so it fits right in with the older housing stock, not a newer infill.
4. What does the "rankings bar" in the data actually mean?
It's a visual that shows how this property compares to others. For living area, value, lot size, and build year, the bar fills from left to right. A red-to-blue gradient indicates where you sit relative to the median (vertical line). A white tick shows this home's exact position. Better rank = more fill.
5. Should I be concerned that the living area is "below average"?
Only if square footage is your top priority. The home is smaller than the street average (1,275 sqft) and neighbourhood average (1,372 sqft), but it's close to the citywide average for comparable homes. Many buyers in older areas find that a smaller floor plan comes with better construction details or a more desirable street. It depends on what you're after.
