Highlights & common questions: 424 Columbia Drive, Winnipeg

424 Columbia Drive, Whyte Ridge

What Makes This Property Stand Out

This home sits on one of the largest lots on Columbia Drive—ranked second out of 37 homes on the street—with nearly 8,000 square feet of land. The living area is also among the top on the street at just over 2,200 square feet, ranking first overall. Both the living space and assessed value rank in the top 10 percent citywide, which is notable given Winnipeg’s wide range of housing stock.

The home was built in 1989, which places it among the newer homes on its street but slightly older than the surrounding Whyte Ridge average. That’s a subtle but useful detail: buyers looking for a more established neighborhood with mature trees and landscaping may find this preferable to newer infill builds, while still having a solidly built late-80s home.

This property would suit buyers who value lot size and square footage over a completely updated interior. It’s ideal for someone who wants room to expand, garden, or add a garage or shop, without moving to a more suburban or newer development. It could also work well for buyers who prioritize being in a well-ranked street and neighborhood without paying a premium for a fully renovated or brand-new home.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to the neighborhood average?
The assessed value is $599,000, which is roughly 13% higher than the Whyte Ridge average of $529,600. However, it ranks only in the top 10% of the neighborhood, meaning there are more expensive homes nearby but this one still sits well above the typical property.

2. Is the living area considered large for Winnipeg?
Yes. At 2,203 square feet, it ranks in the top 7% citywide. The average living area for comparable homes across Winnipeg is 1,342 square feet, so this is significantly larger than most homes in the city.

3. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Whyte Ridge?
The lot is 7,964 square feet, which is about 29% larger than the neighborhood average of 6,175 square feet. It ranks 13th out of nearly 2,400 homes in the area, placing it in the top tier for land size.

4. Why was the home built in 1989, and does that matter?
The home was built during a period of steady suburban development in Whyte Ridge. Being a 1989 build means it’s newer than many Winnipeg homes (the citywide average build year is 1966) but not as new as some of the late-90s and early-2000s homes in the neighborhood. Buyers should check if major systems (roof, furnace, windows) have been updated, but the construction quality of that era is generally solid.

5. How are the rankings calculated, and what do the colors mean?
The rankings compare this home to others with similar characteristics (e.g., single-family detached homes) within the same street, neighborhood, and city. The bar colors are: red for top-tier rankings (top 5%), blue for above average (top 25%), amber for around average, and gray for below average. The fill length shows roughly what percentage of comparable homes you outperform.
