This is a 1986-built home with 1,655 sq ft of living space on a 5,634 sq ft lot, located in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg.
Where the property stands out is at the city-wide level. Its living area ranks in the top 23% of all comparable homes in Winnipeg, and its assessed value (property taxes based on $472,000) falls in the top 25% city-wide. That means you’re getting a home that is larger and holds higher assessed value than most others across the city, for a price that sits below the average for its own street and neighbourhood.
On Torrington Road specifically, the home is near the middle in size (8th out of 17) and below average in assessed value (12th out of 17). Relative to the broader Whyte Ridge community, both size and value are below the neighbourhood averages as well. The lot size is close to average across all three comparison tiers—street, community, and city.
The home was built in 1986. On its street, that makes it one of the newer homes (2nd out of 17), but within Whyte Ridge as a whole, it’s older than most (94th percentile). City-wide, it’s newer than average.

How does the property tax compare to other homes nearby?
The assessed value ($472,000) is below the Torrington Road average of $489,000 and well below the Whyte Ridge average of $530,000. City-wide, it is above the average of $390,000. So property taxes are relatively modest compared to the immediate neighbourhood, but above typical city-level rates.
-
Is the house considered small or large for the area?
At 1,655 sq ft, it is very close to the average on its street (1,565 sq ft) and in Whyte Ridge (1,666 sq ft). It is larger than the city-wide average of 1,342 sq ft. So it’s a typical size for the community, but on the larger side when compared across Winnipeg.
-
How old is the house, and is that a concern?
Built in 1986, it is among the newer homes on Torrington Road but older than most in Whyte Ridge (where the average build year is 1994). City-wide, it’s newer than average (1966). A 1986 build often means solid construction, but buyers should expect systems (roof, furnace, windows) to be at or nearing replacement age unless updated.
-
What does the lot size mean in practical terms?
5,634 sq ft is close to average for the street, the community, and the city. It’s not a large lot, but it’s not undersized either. Typical for a single-family home in Whyte Ridge, with room for a backyard and some landscaping, but not oversized for expansion.
-
Why is the home below average in assessed value on its own street but above average city-wide?
Torrington Road has homes with higher average assessed values ($489,000), likely due to newer builds or larger properties. At the same time, the city-wide average is lower ($390,000) because it includes older and smaller homes across Winnipeg. This property sits in the middle: modest for its street, but solid relative to the rest of the city.
