Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1987-built home on Columbia Drive stands out primarily for its generous living space. At 2,056 square feet, it ranks in the top 5% on its street and top 10% citywide, offering significantly more interior room than the average Winnipeg home (1,342 sqft). The 5,934 sqft lot is close to the neighbourhood average, so the emphasis here is on comfortable indoor square footage rather than a large yard.
The assessed value of $522,000 is above the city average but sits very close to the median for the surrounding Whyte Ridge community. This suggests the property is priced in line with its immediate neighbours, despite offering more space than many of them. The home’s age (1987) is older than the Whyte Ridge average (1994), which may appeal to buyers who prefer established construction over newer builds, or who see potential for updating to build equity.
This property would suit buyers who prioritize interior space—such as a growing family, someone who works from home and needs a dedicated office, or anyone who values room to spread out. It is less suited for someone seeking a newer, move-in-ready home or a large, private lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
The home is one of the largest on Columbia Drive and well above average for Whyte Ridge. At 2,056 sqft, it is about 27% larger than the typical home in the neighbourhood (1,666 sqft).
Is the assessed value a good indicator of market price?
The assessment is a reference point for property tax, not a guaranteed market value. While the home is assessed close to the neighbourhood average, its larger floor plan and older construction could mean it sells either above or below that figure depending on interior condition and buyer demand.
What does the 1987 build year mean in practical terms?
Homes from this era often have solid framing and established landscaping. However, systems like the furnace, roof, and windows may be approaching or past typical replacement age. A home inspection is recommended to clarify the remaining lifespan of major components.
Is the lot large enough for additions or a garage expansion?
The lot is slightly smaller than the street and neighbourhood averages. While 5,934 sqft allows for a typical backyard and frontage, any significant expansion would require checking local zoning bylaws and setback requirements specific to Columbia Drive.
How does this home compare to others in the same price range citywide?
Citywide, a $522,000 assessment places this home in the top 16%. Most Winnipeg homes at this value are smaller in living area (average 1,342 sqft), so this property offers a strong “space-per-dollar” advantage, particularly if you are comparing within the same price bracket.
