Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a 1,926-square-foot home built in 1993 on a 5,519-square-foot lot in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg. Its main draw is noticeably above-average living space. The home ranks in the top 13% city-wide for square footage, which is significantly larger than the typical Winnipeg home (average 1,342 sqft). The assessed value of $547,000 also sits in the top 13% city-wide, reflecting the added space and the area’s market. The lot size and year built are more in line with neighbourhood averages, meaning you’re not paying a premium for an exceptionally large yard or a brand-new build.
The appeal here is straightforward: you get a house that feels spacious compared to what most other Winnipeg properties offer, without the lot or age being unusual for the street. It would suit a family or anyone who prioritizes interior room over outdoor space or a newer construction date. Buyers who want a move-in-ready home in an established, mid-‘90s subdivision—where the neighbours’ homes are similar in age and size—will find this a comfortable fit. It is not a standout or a fixer-upper; it is a solid, generously-sized middle-ground home.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
On Scurfield Boulevard, this home is above average for living area (ranked 57th out of 197 homes, top 29%). The street average is 1,750 sqft, so this property offers about 176 extra square feet. In the broader Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, it ranks in the top 23%.
2. Is the assessed value reasonable for what you get?
The assessed value of $547,000 is slightly above the street average of $534k but very much in line with the neighbourhood ($529.6k average). Given the home is larger than most around it, the premium appears modest. City-wide, it ranks in the top 13%, which is consistent with its above-average size.
3. Is this a newer or older home for the area?
Built in 1993, it is around the median for Whyte Ridge (average year built 1994) and slightly older than the Scurfield Boulevard average of 1996. It is newer than the Winnipeg average of 1966, so it avoids the maintenance headaches of an older home but is not one of the newest builds in the neighbourhood.
4. What is the lot like, and is it smaller than typical?
The lot is 5,519 sqft. That is slightly below the street average (5,755 sqft) and notably below the Whyte Ridge average (6,175 sqft). It ranks in the middle (top 43% on the street, top 51% in the area). In practical terms, expect a manageable yard rather than a sprawling lot.
5. Why is the city-wide ranking so much higher than the street or neighbourhood rankings?
This home stands out more city-wide because the average Winnipeg home is older (1966), smaller (1,342 sqft), and has a lower assessed value ($390k). Within Whyte Ridge and Scurfield Boulevard, homes are already above the city average, so this house is typical for the area. Its high city-wide rank reflects how much bigger and newer it is than most of Winnipeg’s housing stock.
