122 Fleetwood Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a 1,916-square-foot home built in 1992, sitting on a 5,276-square-foot lot in Whyte Ridge. The numbers tell a few interesting stories. Living space is its standout feature: it ranks in the top 13% citywide for size among comparable homes, and well above both the street and neighbourhood averages. That extra square footage isn’t just a number—it translates to rooms that feel genuinely spacious, not just “open concept” on paper.
The assessed value of $536,000 sits slightly above the street and neighbourhood medians, but given the size advantage, it suggests reasonable value per square foot. The lot, at 5,276 square feet, is actually smaller than the typical Whyte Ridge property (6,175 sqft average) and ranks in the lower-middle of the neighbourhood. That’s worth noting for buyers who prioritize yard space over interior room—this leans the other way.
The home’s 1992 build year is middle-of-the-pack for the street, but significantly newer than the citywide average (1966). That means modern construction standards without the premium of a brand-new build. For someone who wants a solid, well-built house that doesn’t need major updates, this hits a sweet spot.
Who it suits: Buyers who value interior living space above all else—growing families, people who work from home and need a dedicated office, or those who entertain frequently. It’s also a good fit for someone who wants to be in a well-established Winnipeg neighbourhood (Whyte Ridge) without paying a premium for a newer or larger lot. The property isn’t trying to be the biggest or newest on the block; it’s offering more room inside than most comparable homes in the city, at a price that reflects that reality.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space actually compare to other homes nearby?
On Fleetwood Road, the average living area for similar homes is about 1,718 square feet. This property is roughly 200 square feet larger, putting it in the top third of the street. In the broader Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, the average drops to 1,666 square feet, so this home is about 250 square feet above that. Citywide, it’s in the top 13%—meaning out of nearly 200,000 comparable homes, only about one in eight is bigger inside.
2. The lot seems small for Whyte Ridge. Is that a problem?
It depends on what you want. The average lot in Whyte Ridge is around 6,175 square feet; this one is about 900 square feet smaller. That’s not unusual for the street—it ranks 16th out of 52 homes on Fleetwood Road, so roughly average for the immediate area. If you’re after a sprawling yard for gardening or a large playset, this might feel tight. But if you prefer less exterior maintenance and more indoor space, the trade-off works in your favour.
3. What does the assessed value tell me about this home’s market position?
The $536,000 assessment is slightly above the street average ($523,100) and neighbourhood average ($529,600), but well above the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100). That means it’s priced in line with its immediate surroundings, not overreaching. The premium over citywide numbers reflects both the larger living area and the fact that Whyte Ridge is an established, higher-value neighbourhood. It’s not a bargain in the traditional sense, but it’s not overpriced relative to what’s around it.
4. The build year is 1992—what should I expect in terms of maintenance?
A home from 1992 is now over 30 years old. That’s old enough that some major systems may have been replaced (roof, furnace, windows) or may be nearing the end of their lifespan. The advantage is that 1990s construction tends to be more energy-efficient and better built than 1970s or earlier homes, without the sometimes experimental materials of the 2000s. The citywide average build year is 1966, so this is significantly newer than many Winnipeg homes. Expect normal maintenance for a home of this age, but not the immediate overhaul a 50+ year old house might need.
5. Why is the neighbourhood ranking for this property listed as “around average” for some metrics but “above average” for others?
The rankings compare this home to similar properties at three levels: street, neighbourhood, and citywide. For living area, it’s above average at both the neighbourhood and city levels—meaning it stands out. For assessed value and build year, it’s about average on the street and in the neighbourhood, but above average citywide. That’s because Whyte Ridge itself skews higher than the city as a whole. The lot size is average or slightly below across all three levels. So the property’s “average” status in some categories is relative to its immediate surroundings, not a sign of mediocrity. It’s a solid, middle-of-the-road home in a good neighbourhood, with one clear strength: interior space.
