Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Westwood

Houses for sale in St Charles and Westwood, Winnipeg have communities that form part of a greater city area, considered St James/Assiniboia. It is a place that has no shortage of shops, restaurants, and a mix of rather quaint neighbourhoods that run either toward the Assiniboine River, and are thereby more pricey, or further north into nice quite streets that are studded with parks. The area is thus a mix of affluence, particularly in the St. Charles Country Club area around the river, to middle class, to more working class in the areas in and around the Winnipeg Airport. These neighbourhoods form MLS® area 5G.

Homes in Westwood

Westwood is an established family neighbourhood on the west side, part of the wider St. James-Assiniboia area. The housing is largely mid-century, with bungalows, split-levels and two-storey homes on comfortable, tree-lined lots, most of them detached and single-family. It is a settled, quiet area with a consistent, well-kept character, the kind of neighbourhood that has been around long enough for the trees to fill in.

Calm, green and close to the airport

The appeal here is a calm west-side setting with everything close. Parks and the green space along Sturgeon Creek are nearby, shops and services are easy to reach, and Portage Avenue with the Perimeter Highway connects the area into the city and out to the west. The airport is close too, which is handy for anyone who travels often for work.

Buying and selling here

These are mostly mid-century homes, so the checks fit that age. The furnace, windows, wiring and roof, and a dry basement with a working sump pump, and ask what has been updated. On a split-level, look at how the levels and any additions have held up. Selling here, the mature lot, the practical family layout and the quiet, established setting are the features to lead with.
