Property Summary: 7 Battleford Bay

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,871-square-foot home built in 1989 on a 5,400-square-foot lot in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg. Its main appeal is interior space: the living area ranks in the top 26% on the street, top 28% in the neighbourhood, and top 15% citywide. The assessed value of $519,000 is around average for the street and neighbourhood, but well above the citywide median—meaning you get a larger-than-typical home without paying a premium relative to nearby properties. The land area is slightly below average for the street, so the trade-off is more house on a smaller lot.

This property would suit buyers who prioritize square footage over yard size—families needing extra indoor room, or someone looking for a home that feels spacious without stretching into a higher price bracket. It’s also a decent fit for anyone who values a 1980s build in a stable suburban neighbourhood: not the newest, but newer than much of the city’s housing stock. The rankings suggest it’s not an obvious fixer-upper or a standout bargain, but rather a solid, middle-of-the-pack option with above-average living space.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others on Battleford Bay?
It’s one of the larger homes on the street (ranked 9th out of 35 for living area), but has a smaller lot than most (ranked 26th). Its assessed value is close to the street average, so you’re not overpaying for that extra interior space.

2. Is the assessed value of $519,000 realistic for this property?
Yes. It’s slightly above the street average ($505,400) and below the neighbourhood average ($529,600). The citywide median for comparable homes is much lower ($390,100), but that reflects older and smaller properties across Winnipeg. The assessment aligns well with similar homes in Whyte Ridge.

3. What’s the catch with the land area?
The lot is 5,400 square feet, which is about 10% smaller than the street average. If a big yard for gardens, play space, or future expansion is important, this might feel tight. But the house itself has generous room, so it depends on whether you value indoor or outdoor space more.

4. How does a 1989 build hold up compared to newer homes in Whyte Ridge?
The neighbourhood average year built is 1994, so this home is slightly older than many nearby. It’s still newer than 77% of homes citywide. Expect typical 1980s construction: solid framing, likely original mechanicals or windows unless updated, and a layout that may not be as open as newer builds. Check for renovations.

5. Why are the street and neighbourhood rankings different for assessed value?
On Battleford Bay, this home is around average (top 31%). Across the wider Whyte Ridge area, it drops to top 46%—meaning a larger share of neighbourhood homes have higher values. This suggests some streets in Whyte Ridge have pricier properties, while Battleford Bay stays more consistent.
