Property Overview: 44 Ocean Ridge Drive, Linden Ridge
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is defined by its generous living space, which is its most standout feature. At 2,830 square feet, it ranks within the top 15% on its own street, the top 4% in the Linden Ridge area, and an elite top 1% city-wide. This suggests a property offering significant room for a growing family, dedicated home offices, or comfortable entertaining. Built in 2003, it is a relatively modern home that balances contemporary infrastructure with established neighbourhood maturity.
Its appeal lies in this combination of above-average size and modern construction within a desirable neighbourhood. The assessed value is positioned as above average for the area and elite city-wide, indicating a strong perceived value relative to the overall market. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is more modest compared to some immediate neighbours, this often translates to less exterior maintenance without sacrificing the substantial interior space—a practical trade-off for many buyers.
This property would best suit buyers who prioritize spacious, modern interiors over a vast yard. It’s ideal for professionals needing work-from-home flexibility, families seeking room to grow, or anyone looking for a home that offers city-leading interior square footage in a established community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare?
The land area is 6,592 sqft, which is slightly above the Winnipeg average but more modest compared to some larger lots in Linden Ridge. This typically means a manageable yard with less maintenance.
2. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. While it places the home in an elite tier city-wide, the actual market price is determined by current conditions, the home's specific features, and recent comparable sales.
3. What does the "Elite" ranking for living area actually mean?
Ranking in the top 1% city-wide for living area means that out of nearly 200,000 homes in Winnipeg, only about 2,750 have more interior space. This is a significant differentiator.
4. The home sold in 2016. How can I find out the exact price?
Exact sold prices are not publicly available in Manitoba. The listing service offers to provide this historical data manually via email upon request, as noted on the detail page.
5. The home is 23 years old. What should I consider?
A 2003 build is modern enough to likely have updated wiring and materials, but it is now at an age where original major components (like the roof, HVAC, or appliances) may be nearing the end of their service life and should be inspected.
