1343 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2006-built home in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg, with 1,748 square feet of living space on a 6,621-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $540,000.
The property stands out most for its age. It’s the newest home on Scurfield Boulevard (top 1% on the street) and ranks in the top 1% for the entire Whyte Ridge neighbourhood. Most nearby homes were built in the mid-1990s, so this one offers a noticeably more modern construction timeline.
Living area is around average for the street and neighbourhood, but sits comfortably above the citywide median—likely enough space for a family who wants decent room without excess. The lot is on the larger side locally (top 16% on the street), which is worth noting because citywide lot sizes actually trend slightly bigger to the point where this property falls in the top 20% rather than higher. That suggests the neighbourhood tends toward smaller lots than the city average, making this home’s land area a relative local advantage.
The assessed value is above average at every level—especially compared to typical Winnipeg homes—reflecting the newer construction and solid lot size. This is not a fixer-upper or a bargain play; it’s a well-positioned, maintained property in a stable area.
Who it would suit: Buyers who want a newer home in an established suburban neighbourhood without needing to build from scratch. Good for a family that values a larger-than-average lot for its street, wants move-in condition from the mid-2000s, and is comfortable paying a premium for recency and location over absolute square footage.
FAQs
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in Whyte Ridge?
It’s very close to the neighbourhood average of 1,666 sqft—slightly larger, but not a standout. If you’re looking for maximum square footage, there are bigger homes nearby. If you want solid, comfortable space that’s not oversized, this fits well.
2. Is a 2006-built home considered “new” in this context?
In this immediate area, yes. Most homes on Scurfield were built around 1996, and Whyte Ridge as a whole averages 1994. Citywide, the average home dates to 1966. This is one of the newest properties in the local market.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighbourhood and city averages?
It’s driven by the combination of a newer build and a larger lot relative to the street. The house isn’t enormous, but newer construction and land size add value. The assessment ranks in the top 14% citywide, which is a noticeably higher tier than its living area ranking.
4. How does lot size compare to newer subdivisions further out?
It’s smaller than the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. That’s typical for an established neighbourhood like Whyte Ridge—lots tend to be modest compared to far-flung new developments. Still, it’s above average for the immediate street, so you get more yard than most of your direct neighbours.
5. What’s the catch with the "top 1%" rankings?
They apply to year built, not overall value or condition. Being the newest on the street is a genuine asset, but it doesn’t automatically mean the home is better finished or more upgraded than older well-maintained houses. The rankings are useful benchmarks, not quality guarantees.
