19 Eagleridge Court

Property Summary: 19 Eagleridge Court

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a standout property in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg, built in 1987. Its defining feature is its size—both the house itself and the land it sits on. The living area is 2,714 square feet, which ranks first on its street and places it in the top 2% citywide. The lot is 15,086 square feet, ranking second on the street and in the top 1% of the neighbourhood and top 2% of the city. The assessed value of $733,000 reflects this premium positioning, ranking third on the street and in the top 3% both neighbourhood-wide and citywide.

The appeal lies in having a truly large home on an unusually generous lot within an established, well-ranked neighbourhood. It is not the newest build—its construction year is slightly below the neighbourhood average of 1994—but it offers space and land that newer infill homes rarely do. This property would suit a buyer who values outright square footage and privacy over modern finishes or a move-in-ready renovation. It is ideal for someone looking for a solid, sizable home on a substantial piece of land in a top-tier neighbourhood, with room to update or personalize over time. It is less suited for a buyer seeking a turnkey contemporary home or who prefers a low-maintenance, smaller lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the build year compare to other homes in Whyte Ridge?
The home was built in 1987, which is slightly older than the neighbourhood average of 1994. It ranks in the bottom 17% of Whyte Ridge for newer construction, but citywide it is in the top 25%. This means you are buying into an established area with mature trees and larger lots, but the home itself may need updates compared to newer builds.

2. What exactly does a lot size of 15,086 square feet mean in practical terms?
This lot is nearly 2.5 times the average for Whyte Ridge and more than double the city average for comparable homes. It offers significant room for gardens, outdoor living spaces, a playset, or even a future addition—subject to zoning. It also provides more separation from neighbours than most properties in the area.

3. Is the assessed value of $733,000 a reliable market indicator?
Assessed value is a government estimate used for property tax purposes, not a market valuation. It typically lags behind market conditions. However, ranking in the top 3% citywide does signal that this is a high-end property within Winnipeg’s housing stock. A buyer should still confirm current market value through a realtor or appraisal.

4. What does “elite” ranking mean in the neighbourhood context?
An “elite” ranking at the neighbourhood level (top 1% for lot size, top 3% for assessed value) means this property is an outlier even within a well-regarded area like Whyte Ridge. It suggests the home is one of the largest and most valuable on its street and in the immediate vicinity, not just compared to the entire city.

5. Are there any trade-offs with buying a home that ranks so high for size but is slightly older?
Yes. You are paying for land and square footage, not for a recently renovated interior. The home may have original systems (roof, furnace, windows) that require attention. The upside is that you are acquiring an asset with scarcity value—large lots in top-ranked neighbourhoods are becoming harder to find, especially in established areas like Whyte Ridge.
