Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 14-550 Dovercourt Drive in Linden Ridge stands out for its above-average scale and modern build within its context.

Its consistent top-tier rankings across metrics indicate it's a standout property not just on its street, but on a city-wide scale, which can be a stabilizing factor for long-term value.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly does the "Elite – Top 1%" ranking mean?
For living area, it means this home is larger than 99% of comparable homes across the entire city of Winnipeg, based on the available data. It's a relative measure of how the property compares in size to a broad peer group.
2. Why is there a range for the 2019 sold price (CA$650k–700k), and how can I get the exact figure?
The public records used provide estimated price ranges. To obtain the precise sale price from the transaction, you can email the listing service. They manually provide the exact figure and state they do not use requests for unsolicited marketing.
3. The assessed value seems low at $79,100. Is that the market value?
No, the assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is typically much lower than the actual market value. The historical sale price range is a far better indicator of its market worth.
4. What is the property type? Is it a detached house?
The address format (Unit 14 at a shared street number) and the list of nearby properties (e.g., 1-550, 2-550 Dovercourt) strongly suggest this is a townhouse or condominium-style property within a larger complex, not a fully detached single-family home.
5. How does the 2006 build year compare locally?
On Dovercourt Drive, a 2006 build is the newest, ranking #1 of 92. Within Linden Ridge, it's slightly newer than the area average. City-wide, it's significantly newer than the average Winnipeg home, which dates to around 1990.
