90 Wordsworth Way – Property Summary

Key Characteristics and Buyer Suitability

This is a 1962-built home with 1,236 square feet of living space on a notably large 7,564-square-foot lot. Its standout feature is the land: it ranks in the top 13% citywide for lot size, well above the average of 6,570 square feet in Winnipeg. The living area is around average for its street and neighbourhood—slightly below the city median but not by much. The assessed value of $389,000 sits a bit above the street average of $371,100, but is in line with neighbourhood and city medians.

The appeal here is straightforward: you get more outdoor space than most comparable homes in the area, on a street where lot sizes tend to be smaller. The house itself isn't oversized or new, so the value is in the land and the potential it offers—whether for expansion, gardening, or simply having room to breathe. The home's age (1962) means it's older than many in the neighbourhood (where the average is 1966), which could mean original finishes or systems, but also a solid build if maintained.

This property would suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space over interior square footage, or who are open to renovations or additions on a generous lot. It's less suited for someone seeking a move-in-ready home with modern layouts or high-end finishes. It may also appeal to those who want to be in Westwood without paying a premium for a newer house, as the assessed value sits at the lower end of the neighbourhood average.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the living space compare to other homes on the street?
The living area is 1,236 square feet, which is slightly below the street average of 1,275 sqft. It ranks 59th out of 138 homes on Wordsworth Way, putting it in the middle of the pack. Citywide, it's in the top 47%, so still solidly average.

2. Why is the assessed value higher than the street average but lower than the neighbourhood average?
The street average ($371,100) is pulled down by a few lower-valued homes. Your home's value of $389,000 is above that, but when compared to the broader Westwood neighbourhood (average $392,100), it's slightly below. This suggests the street itself is a bit more affordable than the surrounding area.

3. What does the land size mean in practical terms?
At 7,564 square feet, the lot is about 1,000 square feet larger than the typical lot on the street and in the neighbourhood. That's roughly the size of a two-car garage worth of extra space. It could accommodate a large garden, a workshop, or a future addition, though you'd need to check local zoning and setback rules.

4. Is the year built a concern?
The home was built in 1962, which is older than the neighbourhood average of 1966. On the street itself, it's right at the median. Homes from that era can have good bones but may need updates to plumbing, electrical, or insulation. It's worth budgeting for a thorough home inspection, especially if the systems are original.

5. How are the ranking and bar charts calculated?
Rankings are based on how the property compares to similar homes within three scopes: the same street, the Westwood neighbourhood, and all of Winnipeg. Larger lot size and newer construction rank higher; smaller or older rank lower. The bar fill shows what percentage of comparable homes you outperform, and the color tier (red, blue, amber, gray) indicates whether the value is above, near, or below average.
