34 Pincarrow Road — Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Who It’s For
This 1987 home in Whyte Ridge offers 2,041 square feet of living space on a 6,699-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $547,000. Compared to similar homes across Winnipeg, the property ranks in the top 10% for living area and top 13% for assessed value. On the street itself, it’s the 8th most valuable out of 38 homes.
The appeal here is straightforward: you get noticeably more interior space than most homes in the city or neighbourhood, without paying a premium that matches that gap. The lot is also above average for the area, though not unusually large for the street. The year built (1987) is older than the surrounding Whyte Ridge average (1994), which means the home may have more established landscaping and mature trees than newer builds nearby, but could also require more maintenance or updates compared to a 1990s or 2000s home in the same area.
This property would suit buyers who prioritize square footage and interior room over a newer build. It’s a good fit for families or anyone who wants a larger-than-average floor plan in a well-ranked neighbourhood, but who isn’t looking for a brand-new home or a premium lot. The assessed value relative to size suggests decent value for money, especially for someone who plans to stay put and gradually update the interior over time.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others in Whyte Ridge for size and value?
It’s in the top 16% of homes in the neighbourhood for living area (2,041 sqft vs. 1,666 average) and top 27% for assessed value. So it’s larger than most but not priced proportionally higher—a positive sign for value.
2. Is the assessed value of $547,000 close to what I’d actually pay?
Assessed value is used for property tax calculation and is typically a conservative estimate of market value. In a competitive market, sale prices often exceed assessed values, but the gap varies depending on recent sales in Whyte Ridge.
3. The home was built in 1987. What should I expect in terms of maintenance?
Homes from the late 1980s are now 35+ years old. Key systems to check include the roof, furnace, windows, and foundation. The older build also means the home may have original fixtures or finishes that need updating, but it likely has better quality framing and mature landscaping than some newer subdivisions.
4. How does the lot size compare to others in the area?
The lot (6,699 sqft) is above average for Whyte Ridge (6,175 sqft average) but slightly below the average for homes on Pincarrow Road itself (7,168 sqft). So you get a decent yard, but it’s not oversized compared to immediate neighbours.
5. What area in Winnipeg does this ranking data cover?
The “citywide” rankings compare this property to nearly 200,000 other homes across Winnipeg. The neighbourhood data covers the Whyte Ridge area specifically, as defined by municipal assessment boundaries. Street-level rankings are limited to the 38 homes on Pincarrow Road.
