163 Apple Hill Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1987-built home offers 1,268 square feet of living space on a notably large 6,747-square-foot lot. The property sits in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg.
Its strongest asset is the land. Lot size ranks in the top 23% on the street, top 24% in the neighbourhood, and top 19% citywide—meaning this property offers more outdoor space than most comparable homes at any level. The assessed value of $485,000 also reflects above-average positioning citywide (top 22%), though it sits slightly below the neighbourhood average, suggesting the home itself may be modest relative to the lot.
Living area, however, is below average both on Apple Hill Road and within Whyte Ridge. At 1,268 square feet, this is a smaller home in a neighbourhood where many homes are closer to 1,500–1,700 square feet. The year built—1987—is one of the older homes on the street (top 20% for age), but newer than the citywide average.
The appeal here is land and location. Buyers who prioritize yard space, a quiet established street, and proximity to Whyte Ridge amenities—without needing a large interior—would find this property well-suited. It’s less ideal for someone needing maximum square footage or a move-in-ready modern interior without updates. A thoughtful buyer might also consider: a smaller home on a large lot in a desirable area often presents more future flexibility (additions, landscaping, or eventual redevelopment potential) than a larger home on a tight lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Apple Hill Road?
The living area is smaller than most homes on the street (ranked 50th out of 61), and the assessed value sits around average (39th out of 61). However, the lot is larger than most (14th out of 61), and the year built is among the older homes on the block.
2. Is the assessed value of $485,000 reasonable for the area?
It’s slightly below the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood average of $529,600, but above the citywide average of $390,100. Citywide it ranks in the top 22%, which suggests good value relative to Winnipeg as a whole.
3. How does the living space compare to other homes in Whyte Ridge?
Below average. The neighbourhood average is 1,666 square feet, so this home is about 400 square feet smaller than typical homes nearby. Buyers should expect a more compact layout than what’s common in the area.
4. What’s the condition of a home built in 1987?
That depends on maintenance and updates, which aren’t covered in this data. A 1987 build means it’s over 35 years old—systems like roofing, windows, HVAC, and plumbing may have been updated or may be nearing replacement. An inspection is strongly recommended.
5. Could this property be expanded or renovated?
The 6,747-square-foot lot offers more room than most homes in Whyte Ridge. That extra land leaves possibilities for additions, a garage expansion, a workshop, or extensive landscaping—subject to zoning and permits. The smaller existing footprint might also appeal to someone who values outdoor living over interior space.
