15 Vineland Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Suitability
This is a 1,972 sqft single-family home built in 1997, sitting on a 7,321 sqft lot in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg. The property ranks well above average across all four key metrics when compared to similar homes on the street, in the neighbourhood, and citywide.
Its strongest feature is the land. At 7,321 sqft, it’s in the top 6% on Vineland Crescent and top 15% citywide—meaning the lot is noticeably larger than what’s typical for this area. The living area is also generous, ranking in the top 13% on the street and top 12% across Winnipeg. The assessed value of $565,000 is consistent with these strengths, sitting in the top 17% locally and top 11% citywide.
The home was built in 1997, which is average for the street but newer than most homes citywide (where the median year built is 1966). In the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, the average is 1994, so this property is slightly newer than local peers.
Where the appeal lies: The combination of a large lot and above-average square footage gives this property room that many newer infill or smaller-lot homes simply don’t offer. The assessed value, while above the neighbourhood median, reflects tangible physical attributes rather than speculative pricing. For buyers who prioritize outdoor space and a home that isn’t squeezed onto a tight site, this property stands out.
Who it would suit: Families or individuals who want a good-sized house on a notably large lot in an established, above-average-value neighbourhood. It would also appeal to buyers who are looking for a home that’s newer than Winnipeg’s older housing stock overall, but who don’t need a brand-new build. The property is less suited to someone wanting a low-maintenance, small-yard condo alternative, or a buyer on a tighter budget looking for a starter home.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the lot size compare to other homes on the street?
The lot is 7,321 sqft, which ranks 7th out of 111 homes on Vineland Crescent—top 6%. The street average is about 5,605 sqft, so this lot is roughly 30% larger than the typical one nearby.
2. Is the assessed value of $565,000 realistic for the area?
It’s above the street average of $534,300 and the neighbourhood average of $529,600. However, it also reflects a home with more living area and a larger lot than most comparable properties. The ranking (top 17% on the street) suggests the value is grounded in measurable differences, not overreach.
3. How old is the house, and is that considered old for Winnipeg?
Built in 1997, it’s about 27 years old. On Vineland Crescent, the average build year is 1998, so it’s typical for the street. Citywide, the average home was built in 1966, so this is significantly newer than most Winnipeg properties. It’s not new, but it’s also not part of the city’s older housing stock.
4. What’s the difference between “living area” and total square footage?
The 1,972 sqft figure here refers to finished, above-ground living space. It doesn’t include basements, garages, or unfinished areas. That’s typical for property comparisons. If you need total floor area including a basement, you’d want to check the full listing or ask for a floor plan.
5. How does this property compare to others in Whyte Ridge overall?
It ranks in the top 20% for living area and top 19% for assessed value within Whyte Ridge. The lot is in the top 17% for the neighbourhood, and the home is newer than the neighbourhood average (1994). It’s not the most extreme property in any one category, but it’s consistently above average across the board—which is relatively uncommon.
