77 Apple Hill Road – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1987-built home with 1,896 square feet of living space on a notably large 10,601-square-foot lot. The property sits in Winnipeg's Whyte Ridge neighbourhood. Its standout feature is the land: the lot ranks in the top 5% citywide, top 4% in the neighbourhood, and top 5% on the street. That’s an unusually generous parcel for an established suburban area, where the average lot size hovers around 6,200 square feet.

The home itself is also above average in size—about 350 square feet larger than the typical Winnipeg comparable. The assessed value of $514,000 is slightly above the street average but roughly in line with the neighbourhood median. The property isn’t new; it’s older than most homes in Whyte Ridge (where the average build year is 1994), but newer than the citywide average of 1966.

The appeal here is straightforward: you get a relatively spacious house on a genuinely large lot in a mature neighbourhood, without paying a dramatic premium over neighbouring properties. That combination is increasingly rare in built-up areas.

Who it suits: This property would work well for buyers who value outdoor space—gardening, room for kids to play, or potential for future additions. It may also appeal to someone who wants a home that quietly outperforms its neighbours in usable land, rather than flashy finishes or a fully renovated interior. It’s less ideal for someone seeking a newer home or a turnkey property in a trendy area.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to the actual market price?
The assessed value of $514,000 is a city-issued estimate, not a market price. It suggests the home is neither dramatically over- nor under-assessed relative to its immediate street, but market conditions, renovations, and buyer demand will ultimately determine the sale price.

2. Does the large lot come with any practical limitations?
A 10,600-square-foot lot means more mowing, snow clearing, and general upkeep. It also may have zoning restrictions on subdivision or major additions—worth checking with the city if expansion is a goal. On the plus side, there’s room for gardens, a workshop, or a larger deck.

3. Why is the home’s year built considered “below average” for the neighbourhood?
Whyte Ridge developed mostly through the 1990s. Homes built in 1987 are among the earlier constructions in the area. That doesn’t signal poor quality—it simply means the structure predates most of its neighbours, which could matter for things like insulation standards, wiring, or foundation design.

4. How do the rankings work, and what do the colours mean?
The rankings compare this property against similar homes within the same street, neighbourhood, or city. A “top 5%” land area means only 5% of comparable properties have a larger lot. The bar colours (red, blue, amber, gray) indicate performance tiers: elite, above average, around average, or below average.

5. Can I view this property on a map next to nearby houses?
Yes. The full neighbourhood analysis page includes a map that shows this property alongside nearby homes, allowing direct comparison of year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. That page is accessible through the listing interface.
