98 Vineland Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1997-built home in Whyte Ridge with 1,469 square feet of living space on a notably large 7,110-square-foot lot. The property’s standout feature is its land: it ranks in the top 13% on its street for lot size, and among the top 16% city-wide. That extra outdoor space is increasingly hard to find in established Winnipeg neighbourhoods, and it’s what sets this property apart from the street average of 5,605 square feet.
The assessed value sits at $538,000, which is slightly above average for both the street and neighbourhood, but meaningfully above the citywide median for comparable homes ($390,100). The home itself is around the neighbourhood average in age, though significantly newer than the citywide median of 1966. Living area is on the smaller side compared to others on the same street (top 75%), but still falls within the typical range for Winnipeg as a whole.
The appeal here is practical: you’re paying for a generous lot in a well-established area, not for a sprawling interior. It would suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space—gardening, kids’ play areas, or room for a future addition—over maximum square footage indoors. It may also appeal to someone looking for a home that’s newer than much of the city’s older housing stock, without paying a premium for a brand-new build.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
The home is smaller than average for Vineland Crescent, ranking in the bottom quarter on the street. But city-wide, it’s above average—so it’s not cramped, just modest relative to its immediate neighbours.
2. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of market price?
Assessed value gives a rough baseline, but market prices depend on condition, upgrades, and current demand. This home’s assessment is $538,000, which is above the street average of $534,300—likely influenced by the large lot.
3. What’s the neighbourhood like in terms of home ages?
Whyte Ridge has a mix, but the average build year in the area is 1994. This home is from 1997, placing it a few years newer than the neighbourhood median. City-wide, it’s much newer than the 1966 average.
4. Does a larger lot generally mean higher maintenance?
Yes, more land usually means more yard work, snow clearing, and potentially higher utility costs for irrigation. But it also offers flexibility for landscaping, storage, or future expansion that smaller lots don’t.
