132 Marygrove Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1996-built home in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg, with 1,247 sqft of living space on a 5,510 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $473,000.
What stands out: The property ranks #1 on its street for year built—it’s the newest house on Marygrove Crescent. The land is also notably generous for the street (top 13%) at 5,510 sqft, though it’s slightly smaller than the average Whyte Ridge lot (6,175 sqft). Living area and assessed value sit around the street average, but citywide, the assessed value is above average (top 24%), reflecting the neighbourhood’s overall price level more than the house itself.
Appeal: This is a relatively newer home in an established area where many neighbouring houses are older. The land gives you more outdoor space than most immediate neighbours, which is becoming rarer on newer infill lots. The property doesn’t try to be the biggest or most expensive on the block—it’s solidly mid-range for Whyte Ridge, which can mean fewer bidding wars and more realistic pricing.
Who it suits: Families or couples who want a newer construction home without paying for a brand-new build premium. People who value outdoor space (decks, yards, gardens) more than maximum interior square footage. Also suited to buyers who want to be in Whyte Ridge specifically but find the neighbourhood’s larger homes beyond their budget—this property offers a more modest, sensible entry point.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Marygrove Crescent?
It ranks #1 out of 104 homes for newness (built 1996 vs. street average of 1991). Its lot is larger than 87% of neighbours (top 13%), while living area and assessed value are both close to the street average. It’s not an outlier in price or size—it fits in comfortably.
2. Is the assessed value of $473,000 reasonable for what the home offers?
Citywide, this is above average (top 24%), but within Whyte Ridge it’s below the neighbourhood average of $529,600 (top 82%). You’re paying less than most homes in the immediate area, which reflects the smaller living area. For the street specifically, it’s right around the median.
3. How does the living area of 1,247 sqft stack up?
On Marygrove Crescent, it’s about average (the street average is 1,312 sqft). In Whyte Ridge overall, it’s below average (neighbourhood average is 1,666 sqft). If you need a lot of indoor space, this might feel tight—but if you prioritize a larger lot or a newer build, it’s a trade-off worth considering.
4. What does the land area of 5,510 sqft actually mean for daily use?
It’s bigger than most lots on the street, where the average is 4,732 sqft. But it’s smaller than the Whyte Ridge norm (6,175 sqft). You’ll have a noticeably larger yard than immediate neighbours, but less than many homes a few blocks away. It’s a good middle ground for someone who wants a decent yard without the upkeep of a truly oversized lot.
5. Why is the year-built ranking so strong (top 1% on the street) but only “around average” in the neighbourhood?
Marygrove Crescent has many older homes (average 1991) compared to Whyte Ridge as a whole (average 1994). Being the newest on a street that skews older makes the ranking look elite locally. The house is about typical for the neighbourhood—just newer than its immediate block.
