Property Summary: 953 Scurfield Boulevard

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 2,147-square-foot home in Whyte Ridge, built in 1999, sits on a 5,987-square-foot lot. Its standout feature is living space: it ranks in the top 13% on its street, top 11% in the neighbourhood, and top 8% citywide—well above Winnipeg’s average of 1,342 square feet. The assessed value of $590,000 is similarly strong, placing it in the top 9% citywide, while the land area is near average for the area. The home is newer than most in Winnipeg (top 18%) and competitive within its own neighbourhood.

The appeal is straightforward: unusual interior space for the price point, in a well-established southwest Winnipeg neighbourhood with mature infrastructure. Buyers who tend to like this property are those who want more square footage without moving into a pricier or more distant suburb—people who value room to spread out over a premium lot or a brand-new build. It may also suit families who plan to stay put for a while, since the 1999 construction means systems and finishes are at an age where replacements may be on the horizon, but the bones are solid. The land area being average means the yard won't feel cramped, but it's not oversized either—a trade-off some buyers will appreciate for lower upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this property compare to others currently for sale in Whyte Ridge?
The data here compares the home to all comparable properties in the area—not just those currently listed. Because it ranks in the top 11% for living area and top 12% for assessed value in Whyte Ridge, it sits above the neighbourhood median on both size and value. However, current market listings may shift the picture; the neighbourhood map analysis linked on the page provides a more granular, up-to-date view.

2. What does an assessed value of $590,000 mean for property taxes?
Assessed value is used by the city to calculate property taxes, but it's not the same as market price. In Winnipeg, the current mill rate means taxes will be based on this figure, adjusted for any phase-in or cap programs. It's worth checking the city's tax estimator directly, as the assessment may not fully reflect recent market changes.

3. Is a 1999 home considered old or new for this area?
It's around average for the street (built 1996 average) and slightly newer than the neighbourhood average of 1994. Citywide, it's much newer than the typical Winnipeg home (built 1966). So it's not new construction, but it's newer than most homes in the city and sits comfortably in the middle of its immediate area. Major systems like the roof, furnace, and windows may be approaching 25 years—worth asking about.

4. The lot is 5,987 square feet—is that small?
On this street, it's slightly above average (5,755 sq ft). Within Whyte Ridge, it's below average (6,175 sq ft), so it's not a big yard by neighbourhood standards. Citywide, it's near the average (6,570 sq ft). For most buyers, the lot is functional but not expansive—enough for a garden or play structure, but not for a large pool or extensive landscaping.

5. What's the neighbourhood like for resale value?
Whyte Ridge is a stable, mid-to-upper tier Winnipeg neighbourhood with good schools and access to the Perimeter Highway. The home's assessed value ranking (top 12% in the area) suggests it's already positioned above average. Resale will depend partly on how the interior has been maintained and updated since 1999—kitchens and bathrooms from that era may need refreshing to keep pace with newer listings down the street. The living area advantage is a durable asset that tends to hold value over time.
