86 Fleetwood Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,569 sqft home, built in 1991, sits on a 5,253 sqft lot in Whyte Ridge. Its standout feature is the living area: while it is right around the average for both its street and neighbourhood, it ranks well above average citywide (top 27%). The assessed value tells a similar story—below average on the street and in the neighbourhood, but well above average across Winnipeg (top 22%). The lot size is middling in every comparison, and the home is one of the older ones on Fleetwood Road, though still newer than the citywide average for similar properties.
What this means in practice is a home that may appear modest relative to its immediate neighbours, but offers genuine above-average space and value compared to the broader market. It is a property that would suit a buyer who values interior square footage over curb appeal or lot size, and who is comfortable owning a home that is not the newest or most polished on the block. It is a sensible fit for someone looking to get more house for their money in an established neighbourhood, rather than chasing premium finishes or a prime lot.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the property’s age compare to the area?
The home was built in 1991, making it older than average for Fleetwood Road (typical build year 1995) and slightly older than the neighbourhood average (1994). Citywide, however, it is newer than the average comparable home (1966). You are buying an older home on the street, but not an old home by city standards.
2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of market price?
Not directly. The assessed value of $489k is below both the street and neighbourhood averages, but above the citywide average. This relative positioning suggests the home may be undervalued compared to immediate neighbours, but keep in mind that assessments lag market conditions. A local real estate agent would have a better sense of current market pricing.
3. How does the living area compare to other homes I would see nearby?
The living area is essentially average for Fleetwood Road (ranked 34th out of 52 homes) and average for Whyte Ridge (ranked 1,303rd out of 2,382). Where it stands out is citywide: it is in the top 27% for living area among comparable homes. So, if you are looking across Winnipeg, this is a roomier-than-average house, but it will not feel unusually large compared to its direct neighbours.
4. Why is the lot size ranked so differently from the living area?
The lot is 5,253 sqft, which is below the street average (5,940), neighbourhood average (6,175), and city average (6,570). It ranks in the bottom half on every level. This is a common trade-off in older subdivisions: you get a larger house on a smaller lot. If outdoor space is a priority, this property may feel tighter than others in the area.
5. What does “ranked #34 out of 52” mean in practical terms?
These rankings compare this home to similar properties in three circles: the street, the neighbourhood, and the entire city. A rank of 34 out of 52 on the street means 18 homes on Fleetwood Road have a larger living area, and 33 have a smaller one. It is a quick way to see where this house sits relative to its peers, not a judgment of quality. Think of it as a relative position, not a score.
