14 Sheffield Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This 1,893-square-foot home, built in 1994, sits on a 5,274-square-foot lot in Whyte Ridge. Its strongest asset is its living space: well above average for the street, the neighbourhood, and the city as a whole. The assessed value of $577,000 reflects that—it ranks in the top 10% citywide and top 16% in the area. The lot size, however, is below the street average and only around the middle of the pack citywide. The house itself is roughly middle-aged for the neighbourhood, which is newer than much of Winnipeg’s housing stock.
The appeal here is pragmatic. You’re getting a home with generous interior space in a neighbourhood that’s established but not ancient—without paying a premium for a large yard. That trade-off may not suit someone hoping for a big garden or future expansion, but it works well for buyers who value square footage indoors over outdoor space. The property would fit families who need room to spread out, or anyone looking for a solid, mid-1990s home in a sought-after area where newer builds are scarce.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes in Whyte Ridge?
The assessed value of $577,000 is above the neighbourhood average of $529,600. It ranks in the top 16% of comparable homes in Whyte Ridge and the top 10% citywide, indicating the property is valued significantly higher than typical for its living area and location.
2. Is the lot size notably small for the street?
Yes, it’s below average. On Sheffield Road, the average lot is 6,179 square feet; this one is 5,274 square feet. It ranks 72nd out of 91 homes—so about 79% of houses on the street have larger lots. In the broader neighbourhood and city, the lot size is closer to average.
3. How old is the house, and is that typical for the area?
Built in 1994, it matches the neighbourhood average (1994) and is very close to the street average (1995). Citywide, it’s newer than average (1966), so this home is squarely middle-aged for Whyte Ridge but newer relative to Winnipeg as a whole.
4. What does “living area analysis” actually tell me?
It compares this home’s interior square footage to comparable houses on the same street, in Whyte Ridge, and across Winnipeg. A higher rank means more space. Here, the living area is above average at every level, with the strongest ranking citywide (top 14%), suggesting you’re getting generous interior space for the price.
5. The bar colours and rankings seem technical—how should I interpret them?
The bar length represents what share of comparable homes this property outperforms in each category (living area, assessed value, year built, land area). A longer bar is better. Colour tiers (red, blue, amber, gray) group performance, but the key number is the rank: for example, “Top 10%” means this property beats 90% of similar homes citywide in assessed value. The “Avg” is a rough median for that specific scope—street, neighbourhood, or city.
