Property Summary: 35 Wittenberg Road

Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer

This home stands out primarily for its size and lot. The living area measures 2,295 sqft, ranking in the top 9% on its street, top 6% in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, and top 5% citywide—significantly above average at every level. The lot is also generous at 6,943 sqft, ranking top 9% on the street, which gives it more outdoor space than most nearby properties. Built in 1991, it’s around average for its neighbourhood but newer than the typical citywide home. Its assessed value of $554k is above the street and neighbourhood averages, though less dramatically so compared to living area—suggesting you get more space per dollar than some higher-assessed homes in the area.

The appeal lies in the combination of a large floor plan and a sizable lot within an established, well-ranked neighbourhood. It’s not a flashy or ultra-modern property, but it offers functional space that is hard to find at this price point relative to the city. This would suit buyers who prioritize square footage and yard space over a newer build or a more central location—families needing room to grow, someone looking for a good long-term hold in a solid area, or buyers who see value in a home that compares favourably to citywide averages rather than just the immediate street.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does this property compare to the typical home in Whyte Ridge?
It’s larger than most. The average living area in the neighbourhood is 1,666 sqft, so this home is about 38% bigger. The lot is also above average (6,943 sqft vs. 6,175 sqft), while the build year is slightly older than the neighbourhood average of 1994.

2. Is the assessed value of $554k a fair reflection of the home’s condition?
The assessment ranks top 20% on the street and top 12% citywide, which suggests it’s valued higher than many comparable homes. However, because the living area and lot are even more outstanding relative to the neighbourhood, the assessment may not fully capture the premium for extra space. Consider getting an independent appraisal if you’re concerned about market value versus assessment.

3. What does the “rank” data actually mean?
Each rank (e.g., #4 out of 44 on the street) shows how this home compares to similar single-family homes. A top 9% rank means it beats 91% of properties in that category on its street—for living area, that’s very strong. The ranking system rewards larger living area, larger lot, newer year, and higher assessed value.

4. How does the lot size affect daily use or future potential?
At 6,943 sqft, it’s a generous suburban lot—larger than the street average of 5,968 sqft. This gives room for a substantial backyard, gardens, or possibly an addition (subject to zoning). However, it’s not oversized compared to citywide averages, so don’t expect estate-level privacy.

5. Why is the build year (1991) only “around average” for the neighbourhood but “above average” for the city?
Whyte Ridge developed mostly in the early-to-mid 1990s, so 1991 is slightly earlier than the neighbourhood norm of 1994. But citywide, the average home is much older (1966), so a 1991 home is newer than most Winnipeg properties. In this neighbourhood, the home is typical; across the city, it’s relatively modern.
