27 Cloverwood Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,232 sqft home built in 2000 on a 4,394 sqft lot, located in Winnipeg’s Whyte Ridge neighbourhood. Its assessed value is $482,000.
Where this property stands out is in its land size relative to the immediate street—it ranks in the top 23% on Cloverwood Road, meaning it offers more yard space than most neighbours. The home itself is also newer than the surrounding neighbourhood average (2000 vs. 1994) and significantly newer than the citywide median (1966). Assessed value is slightly above average for the street and well above the citywide figure, reflecting the newer construction.
The trade-off is in living area and land within the broader neighbourhood. At 1,232 sqft, the home is smaller than the Whyte Ridge average (1,666 sqft), and its lot is well below the neighbourhood norm of 6,175 sqft. It’s a compact home on a modest lot by local standards, but a generous one for the street itself.
Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize a newer home in an established, mature neighbourhood over maximum square footage. The house will appeal to those who want a manageable, efficient footprint and a yard that’s larger than immediate neighbours—good for gardening, a small family, or outdoor entertaining—without the upkeep of a bigger property. It’s less suited to someone seeking the prestige of a large lot or expansive rooms.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the $482,000 assessed value compare to similar homes?
On the street, it’s around average (top 38%). Within Whyte Ridge, it’s below the neighbourhood median of $529,600, which makes sense given smaller living area and lot size. Citywide, it’s well above the median of $390,100, largely due to the newer build year.
2. Is the living area a concern?
It depends on your reference point. At 1,232 sqft, it’s on the smaller side for Whyte Ridge, but it’s close to the citywide average of 1,342 sqft. It’s a comfortable size for a couple, a small family, or someone downsizing—but anyone used to a home over 1,500 sqft may find it tight.
3. Why is the lot small for the neighbourhood but large for the street?
This is a common pattern in older, established subdivisions. Whyte Ridge overall has many homes on generous lots (6,175 sqft average). Cloverwood Road specifically has smaller lots, so this property’s 4,394 sqft stands out as above average there. The trade-off is privacy vs. convenience—you get less buffer from neighbours than in other parts of the neighbourhood, but more than on the rest of your street.
4. What does “Top 18% citywide for year built” actually mean?
It means this home is newer than 82% of comparable homes across Winnipeg. The citywide median build year is 1966, so a 2000 construction is relatively modern by local standards—likely meaning better insulation, wiring, plumbing, and fewer immediate renovation needs.
5. How accurate are these rankings?
They’re based on the city’s assessment data, which is updated annually but can lag behind renovations or market shifts. The rankings compare this property to similar homes within the same category (single-family, etc.). They’re useful for relative positioning, but not a substitute for an in-person inspection or recent sales data. The “neighbourhood analysis” map available on the site lets you see specific nearby comparables.
