Key Characteristics

This is a 2002-built home on Leander Crescent in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg, with 1,827 square feet of living space on a 4,395-square-foot lot. Its appeal lies in a combination of above-average interior space and a newer build relative to both the neighbourhood and the city as a whole. The living area puts it in the top 16% citywide, and the construction year places it in the top 17% citywide — meaning buyers get a house that’s both roomier and more modern than much of Winnipeg’s housing stock.

What’s less obvious is how the property sits relative to its immediate street. On Leander Crescent, the home is close to average in size and newer than most, but its assessed value is below the street average. That suggests it may offer better value per square foot than some neighbouring properties, especially if finishes or condition align with the lower assessment. The lot is on the smaller side for Whyte Ridge — bottom 10% in the neighbourhood — which is typical for newer infill or compact subdivisions but may matter to buyers prioritizing outdoor space.

This property would suit buyers who want a well-sized, relatively modern home in an established southwest Winnipeg suburb, without paying a premium for a large yard. It’s a practical fit for families or professionals who value interior square footage and a newer build over land area, and who are comfortable with a tighter lot. It could also appeal to someone looking for a home that ranks well citywide in both size and age, with tax assessment that doesn’t appear inflated compared to the street.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living space compare to typical homes in Whyte Ridge?
The home is slightly above the Whyte Ridge average of 1,666 square feet, ranking in the top third of the neighbourhood. Citywide, it’s well above average, placing in the top 16%.

2. Is the assessed value high for what you get?
On its street, the assessment is below average — 43rd out of 50 homes — which could mean the property is priced more moderately than neighbours with similar square footage. Within Whyte Ridge, the assessment is close to the neighbourhood average.

3. Why is the lot considered small, and does that matter?
At 4,395 square feet, it’s smaller than most lots on Leander Crescent and in Whyte Ridge. For buyers who want a large garden or significant outdoor space, this could be a limitation. But for those who prefer less yard maintenance or a newer-style subdivision layout, it may be a plus.

4. How does the build year compare to other homes in the area?
Built in 2002, it’s one of the newer homes on the street and is newer than about 90% of homes in Whyte Ridge. Citywide, it’s newer than over 80% of properties, so it offers a more modern structure, insulation, and systems than much of the housing stock.

5. What does the ranking data actually mean for a buyer?
The rankings compare this home to others within the same street, neighbourhood, and city. A higher ranking (smaller number) means the home is larger, newer, or more highly assessed relative to those peers. Here, the home ranks well for living area and build year citywide, but land area ranks low locally — so it’s a trade-off between interior quality and yard size.
