This is a 1989-built home in the Whyte Ridge neighborhood of Winnipeg, with 1,851 sq ft of living space on a 6,324 sq ft lot. Its assessed value is $564,000.

Where it stands out: On a city-wide scale, this property performs well. It ranks in the top 15% for living area (above Winnipeg’s average of 1,342 sq ft) and top 11% for assessed value. The lot size also comes in above average for the Whyte Ridge area. Within its own street (Hillberry Bay), the home is close to the average in size, age, and value — meaning it fits in well without being an outlier.

Where it’s more typical: The build year (1989) is near the middle of the pack locally, though the neighborhood skews newer (average 1994). The lot is slightly smaller than the city-wide average, but still generous relative to the community.

Who it suits: Buyers who want a solidly sized home in an established, well-ranked Winnipeg neighborhood, without paying a premium for a standout property on the block. It works well for someone looking for a balanced home — not the biggest or newest, but one that holds its own in citywide comparisons. Families or professionals who value space per dollar over trendiness would find this a practical fit. The home also appeals to those who prefer a mid-80s build in a mature area, often with more established landscaping and larger rooms than newer infill construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It’s very close to the street average in living area (1,851 vs. 1,901 sq ft), lot size (6,324 vs. 6,530 sq ft), build year (both 1989), and assessed value ($564K vs. $541K). It ranks in the middle third on most metrics — a consistent, not exceptional, performer on Hillberry Bay.

2. Is this considered a large home in Winnipeg?
Yes. It’s in the top 15% city-wide for living area, which is well above the average home in Winnipeg (1,342 sq ft). Within Whyte Ridge, it’s still above the community average (1,666 sq ft), but less dramatically so.

3. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is slightly above average for Whyte Ridge (6,175 sq ft) and top 25% city-wide. However, it’s a touch below the street average and slightly under the city average (6,570 sq ft). So it’s not an oversized lot, but it offers more yard space than many homes in the immediate area.

4. Why is the build year a potential consideration?
The home was built in 1989, which is typical for Hillberry Bay but older than the Whyte Ridge average (1994). Buyers should expect that mechanicals, roof, and windows may be original or need updates depending on prior maintenance. However, homes from this era often have better soundproofing and more square footage per dollar than newer builds.

5. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of market price?
Assessed value is based on municipal valuation, which often lags behind current market conditions. This home’s assessment is above average at every level — street, community, and city — suggesting it’s a higher-value property in a well-regarded area. But it’s always wise to check recent comparable sales for a more accurate market price.
