18 Amundsen Bay – Property Summary
Overview & Buyer Profile
This 1,446 sqft home is one of the larger and more valuable properties on its street, but sits close to the middle of the pack within the wider Westwood neighbourhood and Winnipeg as a whole. The standout feature is its assessed value: ranked #2 out of 43 homes on Amundsen Bay (top 5%), and significantly above the street average of $339,500. The living area also performs well at the street level—top 9%—with above-average square footage compared to nearby homes.
That said, the land area (5,905 sqft) is slightly below the street and neighbourhood averages, meaning the value is concentrated more in the house itself than the lot. Built in 1963, the home is older than the typical Westwood property, though not unusually so for its immediate street.
This property would suit a buyer who values a larger-than-average floor plan and is willing to pay a premium for it within a specific street context. It may appeal to someone who cares more about interior space and assessed value stability than a large yard or a newer build. It could also be a good fit for buyers looking to enter a street with strong relative property values, even if the neighbourhood and citywide rankings are more moderate.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to others nearby?
On its street, it’s among the top 5% for assessed value—well above the street average of $339,500. But in the broader Westwood neighbourhood, it sits near the middle (top 32%), and it’s similarly average citywide (top 39%). So the value is strong locally, not regionally.
2. Is the living space significantly larger than typical homes in the area?
Yes, at the street level. It’s 1,446 sqft versus the street average of 1,184 sqft—that’s a meaningful jump. But within Westwood, it’s only slightly above the neighbourhood average (1,372 sqft), so the difference fades as you zoom out.
3. How does the lot size compare?
The land area of 5,905 sqft is slightly below both the street average (6,170 sqft) and the neighbourhood average (6,491 sqft). It’s ranked around the middle on the street and neighbourhood levels, so the yard is not a standout feature.
4. Is this considered an older home for the area?
The home was built in 1963. On Amundsen Bay, that’s actually newer than the street average (1961). But in Westwood and citywide, the average build year is 1966, so it’s a bit older than the broader area. Not unusually old, but worth noting.
5. What type of buyer should consider this property?
Someone who prioritizes interior square footage and relatively high street-level value over a large lot or a more recent build. It’s a home that stands out on its street but blends in with the neighbourhood—good for a buyer who wants a solid, mid-century house in a stable area without paying for land they won’t use.
