42 Apple Hill Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,617 sqft home built in 1987, sitting on a 5,130 sqft lot in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg. Its assessed value is $502,000.
What stands out: The property performs strongest at the city-wide level. It ranks in the top 25% for living area across Winnipeg, and the top 19% for assessed value. That suggests more space and equity than a typical city home, without the premium you’d pay for a newer build in a high-demand pocket. On its own street, the home is solidly average in size and value—it fits in rather than standing out.
The trade-off: The land is small for the street (bottom 5% on Apple Hill Road), and the year built is older than the Whyte Ridge average (1987 vs. 1994). You’re getting a well-sized house on a modest lot in an established neighbourhood, not a sprawling yard or a recently flipped interior.
Best suited for: Buyers who want a practical, above-average home in a mature suburb, and who prioritize indoor space and stable value over land size or the newest finishes. It’s a sensible pick for a family or couple who plan to update gradually, rather than looking for a move-in-ready showpiece.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Apple Hill Road specifically?
It’s near the middle of the pack. Living area ranks 23rd out of 61 homes (top 38%), assessed value ranks 21st (top 34%). Year built is slightly above average for the street (12th out of 61). The lot is the outlier—it’s one of the smallest on the road.
2. The assessed value is $502k. Is that realistic for this neighbourhood?
It’s slightly below the Whyte Ridge average of $529.6k, which makes sense given the older build and smaller lot. City-wide, the property is well above the $390.1k average, reflecting the neighbourhood’s general premium. You’re paying for location and square footage, not a brand-new house.
3. The land is only 5,130 sqft. Will that feel tight?
It depends on your expectations. It’s on the smaller side for Whyte Ridge, where the average is over 6,100 sqft. That likely means less yard maintenance and a more compact outdoor space. If you want a big garden or room for additions, this lot isn’t it. If you’re fine with a typical suburban backyard, it’s workable.
4. The house was built in 1987. What should I watch for?
Homes from this era often have original mechanicals, windows, or roofing that may need attention. The year built ranks well city-wide (top 25%) because many Winnipeg homes are older, but within Whyte Ridge it’s toward the older end. A thorough inspection focusing on the roof, furnace, and windows would be wise.
5. How does the data shown here get calculated?
The rankings compare this property to “comparable homes” in the same street, neighbourhood, and city. The bars show what percentage of peers you outperform in each category. “Avg” refers to a rough median for that group. It’s a relative snapshot, not an appraisal. For a full side-by-side comparison of nearby houses, the neighbourhood map tool is the better resource.
