63 Robert Service Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1965-built home with 1,327 square feet of living space on a 6,486-square-foot lot. The assessed value is $375,000.
The property’s main appeal is its land. City-wide, the lot ranks in the top 23% for size, and within the Westwood neighbourhood it’s above average. That’s the standout feature. The house itself is modest—living area is below average compared to other homes on the same street, and the assessed value reflects that, ranking 27th out of 31 on Robert Service Bay.
The year built is slightly older than the neighbourhood average, but on this street it's actually one of the earlier homes, which gives it a bit of character in a street where most houses are newer.
This property would suit a buyer who values outdoor space more than interior square footage. It’s a good fit for someone looking to get into Westwood at a lower price point than many neighbours, or for someone who sees potential in updating or expanding a 1960s home on a generous lot. It’s less suited to buyers who want a move-in-ready, turnkey property with a modern floor plan.
Frequently Asked Questions

On Robert Service Bay, this property is below average in living area (1,327 sqft vs. street average of 1,531), below average in assessed value ($375K vs. $415.7K), and has a smaller lot than most (6,486 sqft vs. 6,983). It is one of the older homes on the street—ranked 8th out of 31.
2. Which metric is strongest?
Land area. City-wide, the lot ranks in the top 23%, which is notably above average. In the Westwood neighbourhood, it ranks in the top 29%. Living area and assessed value are closer to neighbourhood averages, but the lot is the clear strength.
3. Is the assessed value reasonable for Westwood?
It’s below the neighbourhood average of $392,100 and below the street average of $415,700. Ranked 1,128 out of 2,523 homes in Westwood, it sits around the middle of the pack. For a buyer, this could represent decent value relative to neighbours, especially given the larger-than-average lot.
4. How does the living space feel in practice?
At 1,327 square feet, this is a smaller home even by 1965 standards. The street average is 1,531 sqft, so expect a layout that feels compact. That said, the larger lot gives you room to breathe outside. If you’re comparing to newer homes in the area, this one will feel tighter inside.
5. Is the home’s age a concern?
It was built in 1965, which is typical for the Westwood area (neighbourhood average is 1966). On this street, it’s actually one of the earlier builds. The age isn’t unusual, but maintenance history and any major updates (roof, mechanicals, windows) aren’t shown in these stats. It’s worth getting a home inspection to assess condition beyond the numbers.
