116 Apple Hill Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,384-square-foot home built in 1988 on a 5,144-square-foot lot, located in Winnipeg’s Whyte Ridge neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $495,000.
The property’s main appeal lies in its relative value compared to the wider city: it ranks in the top 21% citywide for assessed value, while its living area sits right around the city average. In other words, you’re getting a home that’s valued well above the typical Winnipeg property, but without an oversized footprint. The year built is also a strong point — it’s one of the older homes on its street (top 10% on Apple Hill Road), but newer than the citywide average. That can be a plus for buyers who appreciate established construction quality and mature landscaping, without dealing with a pre-1960s home.
The lot is smaller than the street average (5,144 sqft vs. 6,237 sqft on Apple Hill Road), which means less yard maintenance — but also less space for expansion. The neighbourhood average assessed value is $529,600, so this property sits slightly below that, which may reflect its smaller lot or a less updated interior.
This home would suit buyers who want a solid, well-located property in a mature suburb without paying a premium for the largest lot or the most square footage. It’s a practical fit for someone who values neighbourhood stability and citywide appreciation potential over showy specs. First-time buyers with a moderate budget, or downsizers who want a manageable yard in a respected area, would find it worth a look.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s living area compare to similar homes nearby?
The living area is 1,384 sqft. It’s around average for Apple Hill Road (ranked 39th out of 61 homes, top 64%) and below average for the broader Whyte Ridge neighbourhood (ranked 1,737th out of 2,382 homes, top 73%). Citywide, it’s right around the median for comparable homes.
2. Is the assessed value high for what you get?
The assessed value of $495,000 is slightly above the street average of $494,400, but below the neighbourhood average of $529,600. Citywide, it ranks in the top 21%, meaning it’s valued higher than most Winnipeg homes. The property appears to offer good citywide value, though it’s not a standout within Whyte Ridge itself.
3. Why is the year built a notable feature?
Built in 1988, this home is one of the older properties on Apple Hill Road (top 10% in age) but newer than the citywide average year built of 1966. In the surrounding neighbourhood, many homes were built in the mid-1990s, so this property sits in a slightly older pocket. That can mean more established trees and less cookie-cutter feel, but also potential for older systems or finishes.
4. What about the lot size — is it too small?
The lot is 5,144 sqft, which is below the street average of 6,237 sqft and the neighbourhood average of 6,175 sqft. It ranks in the bottom quarter on Apple Hill Road. For buyers who prefer a smaller yard, this could be a benefit — less upkeep. For those wanting gardening space, a playset, or future additions, it’s a drawback worth considering.
5. What does the “rankings & bars” data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property to similar homes within three scopes: the same street, the neighbourhood, and the entire city. A higher rank (lower number) means the property outperforms more peers in that category. The bar fill length shows roughly what percentage of comparable homes you’re ahead of. For example, a top 10% rank on year built means only 10% of comparable homes are newer. The colours (red, blue, amber, gray) are simply visual tiers, not quality grades.
