Key Characteristics, Appeal & Target Buyer

This is a 2,105 sqft single-family home built in 2021, sitting on a 6,791 sqft lot. It ranks in the top 8% city-wide for living space and the top 2% for construction newness. Compared to other homes on the same street, it has a larger-than-average floor plan and lot. The assessed value of $577,000 is within the top 10% city-wide, reflecting both the size and the property’s relative newness.

The appeal here is straightforward: you’re getting a home that is newer and bigger than the vast majority of properties in Winnipeg, without being so large that it feels institutional. The lot is generous for the neighborhood—more spacious than most nearby homes—which could matter for outdoor use, privacy, or future expansion. Because it was built recently, you avoid many of the immediate maintenance concerns that come with Winnipeg’s older housing stock, which averages a 1966 construction year. This home sits in West Kildonan Industrial, a pocket where the average home is smaller and significantly older. That contrast makes this listing stand out locally, but it may not appeal to buyers looking for a more established or character-filled street where homes vary in age and style. It suits practical buyers who prioritize square footage and low upkeep over architectural charm or a historic neighborhood feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does “assessed value $577k” really mean for a buyer?
It’s the city’s estimate for property tax purposes, not the market price you’ll pay. But since assessed values in this area are typically lower than sale prices for newer homes, you can use $577k as a baseline. Expect the asking price to be higher. The tax bill will be based on this assessment, so you can calculate roughly 2–3% of that amount annually, depending on the current mill rate.

2. The home ranks in the top 2% city-wide for construction year. Is that a significant advantage?
In Winnipeg, yes. More than half the city’s housing stock was built before 1980. A 2021 build means you get modern insulation standards, energy-efficient windows and mechanical systems, and fewer surprises with knob-and-tube wiring or lead pipes. The trade-off: you’re in a newer subdivision, which often means less mature landscaping and fewer big trees.

3. How does the lot size compare to typical Winnipeg homes?
At 6,791 sqft, it’s slightly larger than the city average (6,570 sqft), but more notably it’s about 40% bigger than the average for its immediate community (3,839 sqft). That suggests you’re getting a deeper or wider lot than neighbors, which is useful for a garage, workshop, or yard space but still within normal city limits. It’s not acreage.

4. Is the ranking data reliable for making an offer?
The rankings are based on the city’s assessment database, which includes all residential properties. They’re useful as a relative benchmark—especially the street-level comparisons—but they don’t factor in condition, renovations, or recent sales. Use them to sense-check how this property stacks up, not as a precise valuation tool.

5. What type of buyer should avoid this home?
If you value walkability to cafes, retail, or older urban character, West Kildonan Industrial is largely residential and car-dependent. Also, if you’re looking for a fixer-upper with room to add sweat equity, this is already near peak condition and price. It’s best for someone who wants a turnkey, low-maintenance home with above-average space and doesn’t mind driving to amenities.
