259 Vineland Crescent – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1999-built home in Whyte Ridge offers 1,738 square feet of living space on a 4,805-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $568,000.

The property stands out most for its size and value relative to the wider market. Citywide, it ranks in the top 19% for living area and the top 11% for assessed value—meaning you get a notably larger-than-average home with above-average equity compared to most Winnipeg properties. On its own street and within Whyte Ridge, the home is solidly above average for both square footage and value, but not the standout. The lot is on the smaller side neighbourhood and citywide, which is the main trade-off: you’re getting more house on less land.

The appeal here is practical. This suits buyers who prioritize interior space and established neighbourhood stability over a large yard. The 1999 build year places it newer than the vast majority of Winnipeg homes (top 18% citywide), so it avoids many older-home maintenance concerns while still being old enough that any major renovation patterns are known. Whyte Ridge is a mature suburban area with consistent property values—this home ranks in the top 15% on its street for assessed value, suggesting it holds its ground well relative to neighbours.

Best suited for: growing families needing room indoors without paying for extra land they won’t use, or buyers looking for a home that’s already positioned above average in a stable area rather than a fixer-upper or a speculative play.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a 4,805-square-foot lot typical for Whyte Ridge?
No, it’s below the neighbourhood average of 6,175 square feet. This home ranks in the bottom 22% for lot size locally. If a large backyard for gardening, playsets, or future expansion matters, this property will feel tighter than most in the area.

2. How does the assessed value compare to what I’d actually pay?
Assessed value is a market-based estimate, not a fixed price. Being in the top 11% citywide means the home is considered well above average in value compared to most Winnipeg properties. Whether that aligns with the asking price depends on current market conditions—but it does signal the home has held value well relative to both its street and neighbourhood.

3. What’s the neighbourhood like beyond the numbers?
Whyte Ridge is a family-oriented suburb with a mix of 1990s and early 2000s builds. Schools, parks, and shopping are within reasonable distance. The rankings show the area trends older (average build year 1994) and has larger lots than this property, so you might be buying one of the smaller yards on a street of comparable or newer homes.

4. Should I be concerned that the lot is ranked “below average”?
It depends on your priorities. While a smaller lot can mean less maintenance and lower costs, it also limits outdoor storage, gardening, and room for additions. The ranking shows you’re paying for a larger house instead of land—that’s a deliberate trade-off, not a flaw.

5. How reliable are these rankings and averages?
They compare this property against “comparable homes” in each scope—meaning similar property types, not every single house. The citywide pool of 194,458 homes gives a broad baseline, but the street and neighbourhood comparisons (111 and 2,382 homes, respectively) are more relevant for understanding what you’re actually getting relative to immediate neighbours.
