Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 2019-built home with 1,835 square feet of living space on a 4,929-square-foot lot. Its standout feature is its age: built in 2019, it ranks in the top 4% of newness citywide, compared to Winnipeg’s typical home built around 1966. On its own street, however, it’s one of the older homes (built slightly before the street average of 2020), which means the immediate neighbourhood is very new overall.

The living space is above average both in its community (top 21%) and citywide (top 16%), though it’s close to average for its street. The assessed value of $494,000 is lower than the street average ($535,000) but higher than the community ($443,000) and city ($390,000) averages—suggesting good value relative to nearby newer homes. The lot size is generous for the area (top 17% in the community) but standard for the street and city.

Where the appeal lies: This property offers a newer, well-sized home in a very new subdivision without the premium price some newer builds command on the same street. The combination of a 2019 build, above-average square footage, and a lot that’s noticeably larger than the community norm creates a practical, modern package that’s hard to find in older Winnipeg neighbourhoods. You’re getting a near-new home that’s already established (landscaping, any minor settling done) but still under ten years old.

Who it suits: Buyers who want a modern, low-maintenance house in a newer development but are price-conscious compared to the newest builds on the block. It’s also a strong fit for someone upgrading from an older home who values energy efficiency and the layout of a newer floor plan, without paying for the absolute latest construction. Families who want yard space above the local average but don’t need a massive lot will find this practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property tax assessment compare to similar homes nearby?
The home is assessed at $494,000. That’s about 8% below the Taurus Way average of $535,000, meaning your taxes are likely a bit lower than many of your immediate neighbours’. But it’s about 12% above the broader West Kildonan Industrial area average, reflecting that the home is newer and larger than much of the surrounding community.

2. Is the street still being built out, or is it established?
The street’s average build year is 2020, and this home was built in 2019—so the street is very new but nearly complete. New construction nearby tends to finish within a few years, so you’re buying into a neighbourhood that will feel established soon, without ongoing construction noise for much longer.

3. How does the yard size actually feel day-to-day?
At just under 5,000 square feet, the lot is standard for the street but generous for the community (top 17%). It’s big enough for a decent backyard, gardening, or a playset, but not oversized—meaning less mowing and maintenance than the city average. If you’re used to older Winnipeg lots (6,500+ sqft average citywide), it will feel smaller, but it’s typical for a newer subdivision.

4. What’s the trade-off between this home and a brand-new build on the same street?
This home was built one year before the street average, so it’s essentially near-new. The main difference is price: it’s assessed $41,000 below the street average, so you save compared to buying the newest spec home. The trade-off is that you won’t have the very latest finishes, and the home has a year’s worth of wear—but it’s also had time for any initial defects to surface and be addressed.

5. Is this home a good investment for resale value?
In terms of size and age, this home sits in the top tier citywide (top 16% for living area, top 4% for newness). Homes in newer developments in this price range tend to hold value well as the area matures. The assessed value being below the street average gives it room to appreciate closer to the street median as the neighbourhood fills in. One thing to note: the lot is average for the street, not oversized, so future value will depend more on the house itself than land scarcity.
