Property Summary: 35 Atlas Crescent

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 2020-built home on Atlas Crescent sits on a notably large lot of 7,507 square feet—ranking in the top 4% within the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood and top 13% citywide. The living area of 1,535 square feet is slightly below the street average (1,800 sqft) but above the citywide average for comparable homes. Assessed value is $510,000, which is near the street median ($509,600) but well above neighbourhood and city averages, reflecting strong local demand.

The property's appeal lies in its combination of a recent build year (top 3% citywide) and generous land size, which is rare for newer construction in this part of Winnipeg. The lot offers potential for outdoor space, gardening, or future expansion that many newer infill homes lack. While the interior square footage is modest relative to the street, the overall package—newer home, large yard, and competitive valuation—positions it as a solid middle-ground option.

This property would suit buyers who prioritize land and build recency over maximum interior square footage. It works well for a family wanting a newer home with room for kids to play, or for someone who values a yard for hobbies, entertaining, or possible renovations. Investors may also find the land-to-building ratio appealing for long-term value. It's less suited for someone who needs a large open-concept interior on a compact lot, or for buyers strictly comparing against the largest homes on the street.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to typical homes in the area?
This property's lot (7,507 sqft) is significantly larger than the neighbourhood average of 3,839 sqft—more than double. It ranks in the top 4% locally, meaning only about 25 other homes in West Kildonan Industrial have a larger lot. That said, the citywide average lot size is 6,570 sqft, so it's not unusually large by Winnipeg standards, but it stands out in this specific pocket.

2. The assessed value is $510k. Is that market price?
Assessed value and market price are not the same. The assessment reflects a municipality's estimate of the property's value for tax purposes, based on comparable sales and condition. Market price can be higher or lower depending on competition, timing, and buyer demand. The ranking data shows this home is above-average in value for its neighbourhood and city, which typically signals strong interest, but final sale price will depend on actual offers.

3. Why is the street ranking for living area "Below Average" but the citywide ranking "Above Average"?
This just means the homes on Atlas Crescent tend to be bigger than average citywide. Within this street, the property's 1,535 sqft is smaller than the street norm (1,800 sqft), so it ranks lower locally. But compared to all comparable homes across Winnipeg—where the average is 1,342 sqft—it's above average. It's a middle-sized house on a street of generally larger homes.

4. The home was built in 2020. Is that considered new?
For Winnipeg's housing stock, yes. The citywide average build year for comparable homes is 1966, so this property is about 55 years newer than typical. On Atlas Crescent, the average is 2019, so it's very close to the street norm. The "elite" citywide ranking (top 3%) reflects how few homes in the city are this recent. Newer construction typically means better insulation, modern electrical systems, and fewer immediate maintenance issues.

5. How can I see how this property compares to nearby homes?
The neighbourhood analysis page (linked from the property detail page) provides a map view of nearby houses with side-by-side comparisons of year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. This is the most direct way to see how 35 Atlas Crescent stacks up against its closest neighbours rather than relying on broader rankings alone.
