209 Allard Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1967-built home in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood, with 1,319 square feet of living space on a 6,157-square-foot lot. The assessed value is $416,000. What stands out here is the value proposition: the home ranks in the top 11% for assessed value on its street and top 24% within the neighbourhood, while its living area sits closer to average (top 40% citywide). That suggests a property that’s punching above its weight in terms of valuation relative to size—not necessarily a fixer-upper or a showcase, but one that holds its ground well.
The land lot is slightly larger than the street average (6,157 sq ft vs. 5,933 sq ft) and ranked in the top 28% citywide for lot size, which gives it more outdoor flexibility than many nearby properties. The year built is also slightly newer than the street median, though still within a standard range for the area.
Who it suits: This property would work well for a buyer who wants a solid, middle-of-the-road home that’s already performing well on paper—good value retention, a bit more land than typical, and no major red flags in its comparables. It’s not a "steal," but it’s also not over-priced relative to its street or neighbourhood. It would appeal to someone who values stability over speculation, or a family looking for a home that doesn’t need major work but still offers room to grow (especially outdoors). The type of buyer who checks rankings and comparables before buying will appreciate that this home sits comfortably in the top quartile or better on several key metrics without being an outlier.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
It’s above average. On Allard Avenue, it ranks 4th out of 38 homes, with an assessed value of $416k versus a street average of $353k. In the Westwood neighbourhood, it’s in the top 24% of comparables.
2. How big is the lot, and is that typical for the area?
The lot is 6,157 sq ft. That’s larger than the street average (5,933 sq ft) and ranks in the top 26% on the street. Citywide, it’s in the top 28%, so it’s a bigger-than-average city lot, though slightly smaller than the neighbourhood average of 6,491 sq ft.
3. Is the living space considered small, average, or large?
It’s around average. The home’s 1,319 sq ft is slightly above the street average of 1,284 sq ft, but sits just below the neighbourhood average of 1,372 sq ft. Citywide, it ranks in the top 40%—so it’s not unusually small, but it’s not a large home either.
4. What year was the home built, and is that considered old or new for the area?
Built in 1967. That’s slightly newer than the average for both the street and neighbourhood (which are both around 1966). Citywide, it sits right at the median (top 51%). So it’s not old or new—just a typical late-60s build.
5. How do the rankings work, and what do the bar colors mean?
The rankings compare this property to similar homes at three levels: street, neighbourhood, and citywide. A higher rank (lower number) is better. For example, rank #4 out of 38 means it outranks 34 other homes on the street. The fill length on the bar shows roughly what share of peers you outperform. The colors (red, blue, amber, gray) indicate performance tiers—i.e., whether the metric is above average, around average, or below. The “Avg” shown is a rough median for comparable homes in that scope.
