39 Shakespeare Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,590 sqft home built in 1968, sitting on a 6,144 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. The current assessed value is $404,000.
The property’s main appeal is its above-average living space. At 1,590 sqft, it ranks in the top 22% on Shakespeare Bay and top 19% within Westwood. The lot size is roughly average for the street and neighbourhood, but actually ranks in the top 28% citywide—meaning you get decent outdoor space relative to many Winnipeg properties. The home’s age (1968) is newer than many nearby homes, which can be a practical advantage for structural condition and updates.
The assessed value sits around average for the street and citywide, but slightly above average for the neighbourhood. This suggests it’s fairly priced relative to local benchmarks, without a premium for its larger interior.
This property would suit buyers who prioritize interior square footage over a huge yard, and who want a home that’s solidly middle-of-the-pack on assessment—neither overpriced nor a fixer-upper bargain. It’s a sensible choice for a family or couple looking for above-average living space in an established Winnipeg neighbourhood, without paying a premium for a top-tier lot or brand-new construction.
