1288 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary
Key Characteristics and Buyer Profile
This home offers 2,290 square feet of living space on a 6,783-square-foot lot, built in 2003. It ranks in the top 5% citywide for both living area and assessed value, and sits on Scurfield Boulevard in the Whyte Ridge neighborhood. The assessed value is $622,000, well above the neighborhood average of $529,600 and the citywide average for comparable homes of $390,100.
The appeal lies in the combination of size and relative newness. Most homes in the area are older (neighborhood average build year is 1994; citywide is 1966). A 2003 build means modern construction standards, better insulation, and likely fewer immediate maintenance concerns than older stock. The lot is larger than the street average (5,755 sqft) but slightly smaller than the neighborhood average (6,175 sqft)—so you get more yard than most on the block, but not the biggest in Whyte Ridge.
This property would suit buyers who want a spacious home without moving into a newer suburb further from the city core. It’s a good fit for families who need room to grow, or for someone who values being in a established neighborhood with mature amenities but wants a house that doesn’t feel dated. It may also appeal to value-conscious buyers who recognize that a 2003 build in an inner-ring suburb can offer better square footage per dollar than a brand-new home on a smaller lot.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $622,000 ranks 8th out of 197 homes on Scurfield Boulevard (top 4%) and 179th out of 2,382 in Whyte Ridge (top 8%). That’s notably above the street average of $534,100 and the neighborhood average of $529,600.
2. Is the lot size considered large for the area?
The lot is 6,783 square feet. On the street, that ranks 28th out of 197 homes (top 14%), so it’s bigger than most direct neighbors. But across all of Whyte Ridge, it ranks in the top 23%, meaning a fair number of homes in the wider neighborhood have slightly larger lots.
3. When was the house built, and how does that compare to other homes?
Built in 2003, which puts it in the top 10% on Scurfield Boulevard and top 7% in Whyte Ridge. Most surrounding homes were built in the mid-1990s, and citywide the average build year is 1966. So this home is newer than the vast majority of Winnipeg properties.
4. What does the ranking system actually mean?
The rankings compare this property to other homes of similar type within the same street, neighborhood, and city. A top 5% ranking means it outperforms 95% of comparable homes in that category. The bar charts use a red-to-yellow-to-blue gradient to show where the property sits relative to the median.
5. Can I see this property on a map compared to nearby homes?
Yes. There is a neighbourhood analysis page available that shows a map with nearby houses and allows side-by-side comparisons of year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. You can access it through the “Open neighbourhood map analysis” link.
