8 Wittenberg Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This is a 1,893-square-foot home built in 1991, sitting on a 5,786-square-foot lot in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg. Its standout feature is the living area: it ranks in the top 14% citywide and top 25% within the neighbourhood, meaning it offers notably more interior space than most comparable homes nearby. The assessed value of $517,000 is roughly average for the street and neighbourhood, but well above the citywide median of $390,100—reflecting both the larger floor plan and the desirability of the area.
Where this property appeals most is in the balance it strikes. The home is not the newest or the largest on its street, but it avoids the premium that typically comes with either. Buyers get above-average square footage relative to the city without paying a top-tier price for it. The lot size is standard for the area, which is practical rather than generous—useful for someone who wants outdoor space without the maintenance of a large yard.
Best suited for: A buyer who prioritizes interior living space over land size or the very newest construction. Likely a family or someone working from home who needs extra room, and who values a stable, established neighbourhood over a fixer-upper or a new-build subdivision. It’s also a good fit for someone who wants a home that compares favourably citywide but isn’t overpaying relative to its own street.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Wittenberg Road specifically?
On its street, the home ranks around the middle for assessed value and land area, and in the top third for year built. The living area is slightly above the street average of 1,843 square feet. In short, it’s a solid mid-range option—not the standout on the block, but not lagging behind either.
2. Why is the assessed value higher than the citywide average but average for the neighbourhood?
Whyte Ridge is a more established, higher-value area than many parts of Winnipeg. The citywide average ($390,100) pulls in many older or smaller homes from across the city, while this property’s $517,000 assessment reflects the local market conditions in the neighbourhood, where the average is $529,600.
3. Is the 1991 build date a concern compared to newer homes?
Homes from the early 1990s are generally well-built and have had time for any major structural issues to surface. The home ranks in the top 27% on its street for year built, meaning several neighbours are older. The key consideration is not the age itself, but whether systems (roof, furnace, windows) have been updated—this data doesn’t cover that, so a home inspection is recommended.
4. How does the lot size affect usability?
At 5,786 square feet, the lot is slightly below the neighbourhood average (6,175 sqft) and citywide average (6,570 sqft). This is typical for a more densely planned subdivision. It’s fine for a garden, a deck, and some play space, but not for someone wanting a large private yard or room for major landscaping projects.
5. What do the rankings and “bar” visuals in the data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property to other homes within the same scope (street, neighbourhood, or city). A higher rank (lower number) means the property outperforms more of its peers in that category. The bar fill shows roughly what percentage of comparable homes you beat—for example, being in the top 14% citywide for living area means you’re larger than about 86% of similar homes across Winnipeg. The tier colours (red, blue, amber, gray) are just visual cues for how far above or below average the property sits.
