2. Is the home’s assessed value high for the area?
The assessed value is above average for the street itself (top 14%) and around the average for the Linden Ridge area. City-wide, however, it ranks in the elite top 3%, reflecting the combination of its size, age, and location.
3. What does the "Elite" city-wide ranking for living area mean?
Ranking in the top 4% city-wide for living area means this home is significantly larger than approximately 96% of homes in Winnipeg. This is a key differentiator, offering interior space that is rare in the broader market.

5. The home was built in 2005. What are the pros of this?
A 2005 build year means major systems (roof, HVAC, windows) are likely still within or approaching mid-life, potentially reducing immediate major repair costs compared to much older homes. It also suggests a modern layout and likely meets recent building code standards.
