Here is a clean, standalone summary of the property at 39 Cedar Glen Road.

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1994-built home in the Whyte Ridge neighborhood of Winnipeg, offering 1,261 square feet of living space. Its standout feature is value — the property’s assessed value ranks in the top 22% citywide and top 13% on its street, making it significantly more valuable than comparable homes in the area. However, this value comes with a clear trade-off: the land area ranks near the bottom (98th percentile on the street and 92nd in the neighborhood), meaning the lot is notably smaller than most nearby homes.

The home’s living area is around average for the street and city, but below average for the broader Whyte Ridge neighborhood, which tends toward larger floorplans. Built in 1994, it is newer than about 80% of homes citywide, placing it in a solid, reliable bracket for construction age.

Who it suits: This property appeals most to buyers who prioritize a lower-maintenance yard and a strong asset value over a sprawling lot. It would work particularly well for couples, small families, or empty nesters looking for a home that holds its value without the upkeep demands of a larger property. It is less suited for buyers who need generous outdoor space or who are comparing strictly against larger homes within Whyte Ridge itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the smaller lot size affect daily use or resale?
The lot is compact — 4,341 sqft versus a neighborhood average of 6,175 sqft. This means less mowing, weeding, and general yard work, which is a real advantage for low-maintenance living. For resale, it may limit appeal to buyers who want a large garden or play area, but the strong assessed value suggests the trade-off is already priced in.

2. Why is the assessed value so high if the house isn't the biggest on the street?
Assessed value reflects more than just square footage and lot size. It accounts for location within the street, condition, finishes, and overall market demand. This home ranks 8th out of 61 on Cedar Glen Road despite having a below-average lot, indicating that the house itself or its specific location carries a premium.

3. How does the year built compare to other homes in Whyte Ridge?
It is essentially average for the neighborhood — built in 1994, matching the neighborhood median. Citywide, it is significantly newer than the 1966 average, so it offers updated construction standards (likely better insulation, wiring, and layout) without being an old home that needs major updates.

4. Is the living area considered small for the neighborhood?
Yes. At 1,261 sqft, it is below the Whyte Ridge average of 1,666 sqft. It ranks in the bottom 20% by size in the area. That said, it is right in line with citywide and street averages, so it is only small in comparison to the larger homes typical of this specific neighborhood.

5. What does "Top 33%" or "Top 81%" actually mean in the rankings?
These ranks show how this home compares to others at the same level (street, neighborhood, or city). A "Top 33%" rank means it does better than 67% of comparable homes (e.g., a smaller lot rank of "Top 98%" means it is smaller than 98% of nearby lots). A higher percentage is better for value and age, but worse for lot and living area.
