Property Summary: 576 Scurfield Boulevard
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1997 home offers 1,743 square feet of living space on a 5,541-square-foot lot. What stands out here is the balance: the property performs consistently around the middle of its street and neighborhood, but jumps to the top 19% citywide for living area and top 15% for assessed value. That means you're getting a home that feels spacious relative to Winnipeg's overall housing stock, without paying a premium compared to similar homes nearby.
The assessed value sits at $530,000, which is almost exactly average for Scurfield Boulevard and the Whyte Ridge neighborhood. The land area is slightly below typical for the area, but the house itself is comparable in size to others on the street. The home is newer than most in Winnipeg (built in 1997 versus a citywide average of 1966), and ranks in the top 30% for year built within Whyte Ridge.
The appeal: This property offers predictability. It's not the biggest or newest on its block, but it's comfortably solid across all metrics—size, age, and value. It avoids the extremes of being either overbuilt for its lot or outdated relative to the neighborhood. For someone who wants a home that holds its ground without feeling like a compromise or a stretch, this fits that middle path well.
Who it suits: Likely a practical buyer—perhaps a family or professional—who values consistency and doesn't need to be at the absolute top of the street's rankings. The home's citywide standing suggests it's a strong option for someone moving within Winnipeg and wanting a property that benchmarks well against the broader market. It may also appeal to buyers who prefer a newer home in an established area rather than a fixer-upper in a more transitional block.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Scurfield Boulevard?
It's right around the average for the street—top 51% for living area and top 52% for assessed value. The lot is slightly smaller than typical (ranked 81 out of 197), but not significantly so. In short, it's a balanced property that doesn't stand out as unusually large, small, expensive, or cheap compared to its immediate neighbors.
2. Is Whyte Ridge a more expensive neighborhood overall?
Not particularly. The average assessed value in Whyte Ridge is $529,600, and this home lands almost directly on that number. It's an area where values are clustered in a fairly tight range, so this home is representative of the market there. What's notable is how Whyte Ridge compares citywide—ranking in the top 15% for assessed value—so the neighborhood itself carries above-average worth in Winnipeg.
3. How does the land size affect usability or future resale?
The 5,541-square-foot lot is a bit below the neighborhood and city averages. It's not a small lot for Winnipeg, but it's not generous either. For a buyer thinking about additions or significant landscaping, you'd want to check the actual dimensions and zoning. For resale, smaller lots in this price range are fairly common in Whyte Ridge, so it's unlikely to be a red flag—but it's worth noting if you're comparing to homes with deeper backyards.
4. Why is the home ranked higher citywide than on its own street?
The street and neighborhood have newer, slightly larger homes than the Winnipeg average, so being average on Scurfield Boulevard still puts this house well above the citywide median. The living area is 401 square feet bigger than the typical Winnipeg home, and the 1997 build date is 31 years newer than the city average. In a high-performing area, "average" can still mean "above average" overall.
5. What should I look at on the neighbourhood map analysis?
The map lets you compare this property side-by-side with nearby homes for year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. It's useful for spotting trends—like whether this home is priced similarly to others on its block despite differences in size, or whether newer homes in the area have smaller lots. That kind of comparison can tell you a lot about what drives value in this specific pocket of Whyte Ridge, beyond the raw rankings.
