349 Atlas Crescent – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a newer single-family home in Winnipeg’s West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, built in 2021. Its standout feature is the living area: 2,231 square feet, which ranks in the top 6% citywide and well above the averages on its street and in the surrounding area. The assessed value of $594,000 is also strongly above average for both the street and neighbourhood, reflecting the home’s size and relative newness. The lot measures 5,026 square feet, which is fairly typical for the street but larger than the neighbourhood average—so you get a bit more outdoor space than many nearby homes without an oversized yard to maintain.

The appeal here is a balance of modern construction and spacious interior in a location where that combination is uncommon. The home is newer than most on the street (top 6%) and the vast majority of comparable homes citywide (top 2%), meaning less immediate maintenance or renovation work. The lot size is unremarkable by city standards, so if a large garden or future expansion is a priority, this may not be ideal—but for someone who wants a solid, contemporary home with generous living space and a manageable yard, it’s a practical fit.

This property would suit buyers who prioritize interior square footage and a newer build over an oversized lot or a hyper-specific street. It works for families needing room to spread out, or for anyone who wants a home that doesn't require significant updates soon. It’s less suited to someone seeking a fixer-upper, a large property for multiple vehicles or workshops, or a deep-dive into a historic character home.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices in the area?
The data here shows assessed value relative to other properties, not sale prices. Assessments can lag behind market conditions. To understand whether the $594,000 assessment aligns with current sale prices, you would need to check recent sold listings for similar-size homes on Atlas Crescent or nearby streets in West Kildonan Industrial.

2. The lot is described as “around average” on the street but larger than the neighbourhood average—what does that mean for day-to-day use?
It means the lot is smaller than what’s typical across all of Winnipeg (where older homes often sit on larger parcels), but it’s still a decent size compared to newer infill homes in this specific neighbourhood. You’ll have a standard suburban yard for a 2021 build—enough for a patio, garden, and kids to play, but not so much that mowing takes all weekend.

3. Is the ranking for “year built” a guarantee of quality or low maintenance?
Not necessarily. Being built in 2021 means the home is relatively new, which can reduce the likelihood of major system failures (roof, furnace, plumbing) for a while. But construction quality varies by builder, and a newer home can still have defects. A pre-purchase inspection is still recommended regardless of the build year.

4. The citywide ranking for living area is very high (top 6%). Does that mean the home is unusually large?
It means it’s larger than most comparable homes in the city, but “comparable” here refers to similar property types—likely single-family detached houses. In absolute terms, 2,231 square feet is a comfortable four-bedroom home, not a mansion. It’s worth noting that “top 6%” compares it to all houses of its type, not just new builds, so you’re getting more space than the typical older home as well.

5. The neighbourhood analysis mentions a map and side-by-side comparisons. What would that show that the rankings don’t?
The rankings give you a quick snapshot, but the map would let you see exactly where this home sits relative to others on Atlas Crescent—things like lot shape, neighbouring home sizes, and actual distances to schools or parks. It also allows you to compare specific features (e.g., year built, living area) for houses you can see directly, which can help you decide if the rankings reflect real-world conditions.
