59 Cedar Glen Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,222 sqft home built in 1996, sitting on a 4,937 sqft lot in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg. The assessed value is $458,000.
The property’s strongest feature is its land. On Cedar Glen Road, it ranks in the top 21% for lot size—meaning most nearby homes sit on smaller parcels. The lot is decently sized relative to older city-wide homes too, though it falls below the Whyte Ridge average (6,175 sqft). That’s because many homes in this neighbourhood were built on larger suburban lots, so this one is slightly more compact than the local norm.
The house itself is newer than most of Winnipeg’s housing stock. Built in 1996, it places in the top 19% city-wide, where the average home dates to 1966. On the street, it’s about average for age. The living area is also average for its street and for the city, but it’s below what’s typical in Whyte Ridge, where many homes push past 1,600 sqft.
The assessed value tells a similar story: right around the street average, below the neighbourhood average, but above the city-wide average. This suggests the home is priced reasonably for its immediate area, while still representing a newer, more valuable property compared to older parts of Winnipeg.
Who it suits: Buyers who want a well-built, mid-1990s home in a family-oriented suburban neighbourhood, with a yard that’s generous compared to immediate neighbours. It’s not a showpiece or a fixer-upper—it’s a solid, middle-of-the-road house that ranks well on lot size and construction year, making it a practical choice for someone who values a usable outdoor space without paying a premium for the biggest house on the block.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property compare to others on the same street?
On Cedar Glen Road, this home has one of the larger lots (top 21%) and a living area and assessed value very close to the street averages. The year built is also in line with the street’s typical 1996 construction. So it’s not an outlier—just a house with noticeably more land than most neighbours.
2. Why is the living area below the neighbourhood average but not the street average?
Whyte Ridge has a mix of home sizes, with many larger detached houses pushing the neighbourhood average to 1,666 sqft. But Cedar Glen Road specifically has more modest homes averaging around 1,249 sqft. This property (1,222 sqft) fits comfortably within that street-level norm.
3. Is the assessed value high or low for the area?
It’s about $7,000 below the street average and $71,000 below the Whyte Ridge average. However, it’s $68,000 above the city-wide average for comparable homes. The house is priced competitively for its immediate block, while being more valuable than typical older homes across Winnipeg.
4. How old is the home, and is that a concern?
Built in 1996, it’s around 28 years old. That makes it newer than roughly 80% of city-wide homes but typical for Whyte Ridge. Most systems (roof, HVAC, windows) are likely original or mid-life, so a home inspection would be wise—but this is not an old house by Winnipeg standards.
5. What does “rank by land area, larger = better rank” mean?
The rankings compare this property to other homes in the same group (street, neighbourhood, or city). For land area, a higher rank means a bigger lot. Here, “top 21%” on the street means only 20% of nearby properties have more land. The ranking is relative, not a score—it simply shows where this house stands compared to its peers.
