Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This property at 64 Atlas Crescent is a 2019-built home with 1,839 sq. ft. of living space on a 4,722 sq. ft. lot. Its assessed value is $499,000. The home’s strongest selling point is its relative newness: it ranks in the top 4% across Winnipeg for build year, meaning almost all other homes in the city are older. Within its own street, it's close to the average in size and value, but when compared to the broader community of West Kildonan Industrial and the city as a whole, both its living area and assessed value sit well above average.

The appeal lies in the combination of a modern build with solid, not exceptional, land. It’s not the biggest house on the street, but it’s newer than most and offers more interior space than typical homes in the area. This makes it a practical fit for someone who wants a relatively new, move-in-ready home without paying a premium for a massive yard or a corner-lot position. It would suit buyers who prioritize a modern floor plan and lower maintenance over maximum land size, or those coming from a smaller home who want a clear step up in space and quality without entering the top tier of the market. It’s a strong mid-to-upper option for a family or couple looking for good value in the current market, not a trophy property but a well-rounded one.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does this home compare to others on Atlas Crescent?
On this street, the home is right around the average for size (1,839 sq. ft. vs. 1,800 sq. ft. average) and assessed value ($499K vs. $510K average). It’s not the standout on the block, but it’s comfortably in the middle. The main advantage over neighboring properties is its newer build year—most homes on the street were also built around 2019, but city-wide that’s a huge differentiator.

2. What does “top 4% for build year” actually mean for a buyer?
It means you’re buying a home that is newer than roughly 96% of all properties in Winnipeg. For practical purposes, this often translates to fewer immediate repairs, better energy efficiency, and modern building standards. The trade-off is that the lot is slightly smaller than the street average (4,722 sq. ft. vs. 5,254 sq. ft.), so you get a newer house on a more modest piece of land.

3. Is the assessed value of $499,000 realistic for this property?
The assessment is close to the street average and well above the community average ($443K) and city average ($390K). This suggests the market in this part of West Kildonan Industrial has pushed values higher than typical for the area, largely due to newer construction. It’s a sign of a relatively desirable pocket, not a red flag.

4. How does the lot size affect the property’s usability?
The lot is smaller than the street average but still larger than the community average. For most families, 4,722 sq. ft. is enough for a decent backyard, a garden, and some play space, but it won’t feel sprawling. If you want room for a large workshop, extensive landscaping, or a big vegetable patch, you may find it a bit tight. It’s a “right-sized” lot for a modern home.

5. Why is the community average for build year (2021) newer than this house?
That’s an interesting quirk. While this home was built in 2019, the West Kildonan Industrial area has seen a wave of even newer construction since then, pulling the community average up. So, while this home is very new by city standards (top 4%), it’s actually slightly older than the typical new build in its own neighborhood. This means you get a newer home than almost anywhere else in Winnipeg, but you’re not at the absolute cutting edge within this specific community.
