Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
106 Fleetwood Road is a 1,897 sqft home built in 1993, sitting on a 5,056 sqft lot in Whyte Ridge. Its living space ranks in the top 14% citywide, well above the Winnipeg average of 1,342 sqft—a meaningful advantage for buyers who prioritize interior square footage over land size. The assessed value of $553,000 also sits in the top 12% across the city, reflecting the home's solid position in the market.
The appeal here is subtle. The house doesn't dominate its street in any single category—land area is slightly below the neighbourhood average, and the build year is close to the median. But it offers a strong combination of above-average living space and above-average assessed value, without the premium of a newer build or an oversized lot. This makes it a practical choice for someone who wants more room inside than most comparable homes, while staying within a well-established, mid-1990s neighbourhood. It's not a showpiece; it's a solid, well-positioned family home.
This property would suit buyers who:
- Want a house with interior space that clearly outperforms the city average
- Prefer a mature neighbourhood (Whyte Ridge) with consistent character
- Are comfortable with a lot that's on the smaller side for the area
- Value reliable positioning over standout extremes—ranking well across multiple metrics rather than excelling in one
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes on Fleetwood Road?
It's close to the street average. At 1,897 sqft, it ranks 17th out of 52 homes, placing it in the top third. The street average is 1,718 sqft, so it's above that mark, but not dramatically larger than its immediate neighbours.
2. Is the land size a drawback?
It depends on what you're looking for. The lot is 5,056 sqft, which is below both the street average (5,940 sqft) and the Whyte Ridge average (6,175 sqft). If you want a large yard or space for additions, this may feel tight. But if the interior square footage matters more, it's a reasonable trade-off.
3. How does the assessed value compare to the neighbourhood?
The assessed value of $553,000 is above average for both the street ($523,000) and the community ($530,000). It ranks in the top quarter of Whyte Ridge homes, and in the top 12% citywide. This suggests the property holds its value well relative to its surroundings.
4. How old is the house, and is that a concern?
Built in 1993, it's close to the median age for both the street (1995) and the neighbourhood (1994). Citywide, it's newer than 79% of homes (average build year 1966). It's not newly built, but it's also not old by Winnipeg standards. An inspection would be wise, but the age isn't unusual for Whyte Ridge.
5. What's the best argument for buying this house?
The strongest case is the combination of above-average living space and above-average assessed value, in a neighbourhood that's well-established and consistent. It's not the biggest, newest, or cheapest home on the block, but it ranks well across the board—especially when compared to the wider city. That kind of balanced positioning often holds up better over time than a home that only excels in one area.
