135 Cedar Glen Road – Property Summary
What Makes This Property Stand Out
This 1,276 sqft home built in 1998 sits on a 4,723 sqft lot in the Whyte Ridge neighborhood of Winnipeg. Its strongest asset is the year built: it’s the newest home on Cedar Glen Road, ranking in the top 2% of the street, and among the newer homes citywide. The assessed value of $485,000 also puts it ahead of most homes on the street (top 18%) and well above the city average for comparable properties, suggesting good perceived value relative to its age and size.
However, the property shows clear trade-offs. While the living area is above average on its own street (top 21%), it falls below the neighborhood average, where homes typically have roughly 1,666 sqft. The land area is similarly modest compared to Whyte Ridge standards—about 1,450 sqft smaller than the neighborhood norm. This means the property offers a newer build in a location where many homes are larger, both in square footage and lot size.
The appeal lies in balance: a buyer gets a relatively young home with strong street-level cachet, without paying top-tier neighborhood prices (the assessed value is below the neighborhood average by about $44,000). It would suit someone who prioritizes a newer, well-maintained structure over maximum space or a large yard—perhaps first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone wanting to live in a established suburban area without stretching for the biggest house on the block.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value above the street and city average, but below the neighborhood average?
The property ranks well within its immediate street and citywide, but Whyte Ridge contains many larger, older homes on bigger lots that have higher overall assessments. This home’s value is competitive for its age and size but sits in a neighborhood where the typical property is bigger and thus more expensive.
2. How does the living area compare to homes nearby?
On Cedar Glen Road, this home is above average (top 21%). But in the wider Whyte Ridge area, it falls below average—most neighboring homes exceed 1,600 sqft. The living area is essentially mid-range for Winnipeg overall.
3. Is the lot size considered small?
It’s typical for the street but below average for the neighborhood. Whyte Ridge tends to have lots around 6,175 sqft, about 1,450 sqft larger. Citywide, the lot is on the smaller side too (top 62%). Buyers expecting a spacious yard should note this.
4. What does the “top 2%” ranking for year built actually mean?
Out of 61 homes on Cedar Glen Road, this one is the newest built. Compared to the neighborhood (built mostly in the mid-1990s) and especially the city (where the average home is from 1966), this is a very young property. That usually means fewer major renovation needs and modern construction standards.
5. Who typically buys a home like this?
Buyers who value a newer, move-in-ready home in a solid suburban area but don’t need the largest floor plan or lot. It could appeal to couples or small families who prefer to spend on location and condition rather than raw square footage, or to those trading down from larger homes without leaving the neighborhood.
