452 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,249-square-foot home built in 1990, set on a 5,412-square-foot lot in the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood of Winnipeg. Its assessed value is $486,000.

The property presents an interesting trade-off: it is below average in living area compared to other homes on its street and in its immediate neighbourhood, but its assessed value and year built both rank well above average citywide. The home is newer than most Winnipeg properties (top 22% citywide) and carries a value that places it in the top 22% across the city as well. The lot size is essentially average in all three comparison groups—street, neighbourhood, and city.

The appeal here is less about square footage and more about relative value and age. A buyer gets a home built in the last 35 years in a stable, established neighbourhood, with a land area that matches local norms, at a price point that sits below the street and neighbourhood averages. It would suit someone who prioritizes a newer build and a reasonable tax base over raw space, or who is willing to trade interior square footage for a better location within a desirable area like Whyte Ridge. It may also appeal to buyers who see the below-average living area as an opportunity to renovate or add a second storey, given the lot is not undersized.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living area compare to other homes in Whyte Ridge?
It is below the neighbourhood average. The typical comparable home in Whyte Ridge is around 1,666 square feet, so this property is about 25% smaller than that. On the street itself, the average is even higher at 1,750 square feet, placing this home near the bottom of the street.

2. Why is the assessed value above average citywide but below average on the street?
The home is in a higher-value pocket of the city—Whyte Ridge generally has above-average home values for Winnipeg. However, within that pocket, this specific property’s smaller living area and slightly older construction (1990 vs. a street average of 1996) bring its assessed value below the street and neighbourhood benchmarks. Citywide, where many homes are older and less valuable, it ranks well.

3. Is the lot large enough for an addition or redevelopment?
The lot is 5,412 square feet, which is essentially average for the street, the neighbourhood, and the city. It is not oversized, but it is also not undersized. A modest addition or a second-storey expansion would likely be feasible, depending on zoning and setback requirements. A buyer with renovation plans should verify the specifics with the city.

4. How does the home’s age compare to the local area and the city overall?
Built in 1990, it is older than the average home on Scurfield Boulevard (where the average is 1996) but roughly on par with the Whyte Ridge average (1994). Citywide, however, it is significantly newer than the average Winnipeg home, which was built in 1966. So it is mid-range locally but well above average regionally.

5. What does "rank" mean in the data provided?
The rankings compare this property to a set of "comparable homes" (similar type and size) within each scope. A higher rank (lower number) means the property outperforms more of its peers in that category. For example, a citywide rank of #42,982 out of 194,458 means it is in the top 22% for assessed value across Winnipeg. The "Avg" figure is a rough median for comparable homes in that group.
