111 Shillingstone Road – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,219 sqft home built in 1987 on a 5,721 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Whyte Ridge neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $498,000.

Where its appeal lies: The property sits in a middle ground that could work well for someone prioritizing location over interior square footage. Citywide, the home ranks in the top 20% for assessed value (above $390k average) and top 25% for age (newer than the city median of 1966). But on its own street and within Whyte Ridge, both the living area and land area are below average. This suggests a tighter floor plan on a modest lot relative to neighbours, though the home itself holds its value competitively across the wider market. The land area is around average for the neighbourhood and city, so the yard isn’t notably small—it’s the house footprint that is compact.

Who it suits: Buyers who want a well-priced entry into Whyte Ridge without paying a premium for extra space they might not need. It could be a strong fit for a couple, a small family, or someone downsizing who still wants a standalone home rather than a condo. The below-average square footage on the street also means less competition if you’re looking for something more efficient to maintain or renovate. Less obvious: because the assessed value is strong citywide but average locally, there may be room for long-term appreciation if the street or neighbourhood sees upgrades, or if you add square footage later.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others on Shillingstone Road?
It’s smaller than most—ranked 53rd out of 63 homes for living area (top 84%) and 54th for land area (top 86%). Assessed value is around average for the street (ranked 40th). So you’re getting a home that fits the neighbourhood’s price range but with a more compact footprint than typical nearby houses.

2. Is the assessed value of $498k reasonable for the size?
Citywide, yes—it’s well above the average comparable home value of $390k. Within Whyte Ridge, it sits slightly below the neighbourhood average of $529.6k, which makes sense given the smaller living area. It’s not overpriced for the lot and age, but you’re paying for the neighbourhood and location more than for square footage.

3. How old is the house, and is that a concern?
Built in 1987, which is newer than most homes citywide (average is 1966) but older than the Whyte Ridge average (1994). This means it’s a solidly built late-80s home—expect original finishes unless updated. The age ranks in the top 25% citywide, so it’s not old by Winnipeg standards, but it’s one of the older homes in this specific subdivision.

4. What about the lot size—is the yard small?
The lot is 5,721 sqft. That’s below average on the street (7,434 sqft) but around average for Whyte Ridge (6,175 sqft) and slightly below the city average (6,570 sqft). The yard isn’t tiny—it’s a typical suburban lot—but neighbours on the same street likely have more outdoor space.

5. What’s the neighbourhood like, and should I look at the map analysis?
Whyte Ridge is an established southwest Winnipeg area with mature trees and family homes. The property page includes a neighbourhood analysis map that lets you compare this house side-by-side with nearby homes for lot size, year built, living area, and assessed value. If you’re unsure about the value relative to neighbours, that map is worth opening before making an offer.
