Here is the property summary for 14 Westmoreland Road.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a 1989-built home with 1,391 square feet of living space on a 5,448-square-foot lot. Its most distinctive feature is its assessed value. While it’s the lowest-valued home on its street (ranked 18th out of 18), it ranks well above average citywide (top 28%). This tells a clear story: the property is situated in a higher-value pocket—likely on a less premium part of Westmoreland Road within the Whyte Ridge neighborhood—giving it a below-average neighborhood valuation but strong relative affordability compared to the rest of Winnipeg.
The living area is near the street average, but the lot is larger than most on the block (top 28%), which is a practical advantage. The home itself is among the older builds on the street (tied for third oldest), but still newer than the citywide average by nearly 25 years. Its appeal lies in offering a foothold in a desirable neighborhood without the premium price tag. It would suit a buyer who values location and lot size over a top-of-the-market interior finish or the highest street-side curb appeal. An investor or first-time buyer looking for solid bones in a good area—with room to add value over time—would find this property particularly relevant.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so low compared to other homes on the same street?
The street ranking (18th out of 18) reflects that this home has the lowest assessed value on Westmoreland Road. This usually comes down to a combination of factors: a slightly smaller living area than the street average, a simpler finish level, or a less central position within the street itself. The important context is that Whyte Ridge is a pricey neighborhood, so “lowest on the street” still means the home is valued well above the Winnipeg average.
2. The lot is larger than most homes on the street, but smaller than the neighborhood average. What does that mean practically?
It suggests the house sits on one of the more generous lots within the immediate block, giving you more outdoor space than your direct neighbors. However, Whyte Ridge as a whole tends to have large, deep lots, so this property won’t feel oversized compared to many homes just a few streets over.
3. Is a 1989 home considered old in this area?
On Westmoreland Road, yes—it’s among the older builds (top 17% for age). Within Whyte Ridge, it’s about average. Citywide, however, it’s relatively young. The practical takeaway is that you may see some different construction styles or materials than newer infill homes, but you’re also well outside the era of aging 1960s and 70s housing stock common across Winnipeg.
4. How does the living area compare to a typical Winnipeg home?
It’s slightly above the citywide average (1,391 sqft vs. 1,342 sqft). On the street and in the neighborhood, it’s on the smaller side, meaning the home is livable and functional but won’t offer the expansive square footage some Whyte Ridge properties are known for. It’s a comfortable middle ground.
5. What is the “neighborhood analysis map” and what will it show me?
It’s a visual tool that plots this property on a map alongside nearby homes. You can directly compare year built, lot size, living area, and assessed value for each property. This gives you a street-level view of which homes are the best value or the most recently updated, rather than just relying on averaged data.
