Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This property at 55 Leander Crescent is a 2003-built home with 2,062 square feet of living space on a 4,646 square foot lot. Its standout feature is the living area: it ranks in the top 9% citywide for size, well above the Winnipeg average of 1,342 square feet. Within the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, it sits in the top 15% for living area. The home is also relatively new—built in 2003, which places it in the top 4% on the street and top 7% in the community, where the average home was built in 1994. The assessed value of $561,000 is near the street average but above both the neighbourhood and city medians, reflecting the premium for a larger, newer home.
The appeal lies in space and condition without an inflated lot size. The lot (4,646 sqft) is slightly below the Whyte Ridge average, meaning less yard maintenance and a more efficient footprint. This combination suits buyers who want a roomier interior and a newer build—likely families or professionals—but who aren’t seeking a large garden or oversized property. It’s a practical, well-proportioned home in a solid mid-range Winnipeg suburb, offering good value for those prioritising interior square footage and modern construction over land.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Leander Crescent?
It’s the second-newest house on the street (top 4% for build year) and ranks 13th out of 50 for living area (top 26%). Its assessed value sits right at the street average, so you’re getting a larger, newer home for roughly the same tax assessment as neighbours.
2. Is the land size a disadvantage?
Not necessarily. The lot is slightly smaller than the Whyte Ridge average (4,646 vs 6,175 sqft), which means less upkeep. For buyers who prefer more indoor space over a big yard, this trade-off is a feature, not a drawback.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighbourhood average?
The $561,000 assessment is above the Whyte Ridge average of $530,000 and well above Winnipeg’s $390,000 median. This reflects the larger living area and newer construction compared to older, smaller homes in the area. It’s priced for what it offers, not over-inflated.
4. How does the 2003 build date compare to other homes in the area?
Whyte Ridge has an average build year of 1994, and Winnipeg’s average is 1966. At 2003, this home is significantly newer than most nearby properties, which often means better insulation, modern wiring, and fewer immediate repair concerns.
5. What type of buyer would this home suit best?
It’s ideal for someone who values interior space and a newer home but doesn’t need a large lot. Families needing room to grow, or professionals looking for a move-in-ready property with good citywide rankings for size and age, will find it a strong fit.
