91 Mira Gate – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 2022-built home with 1,327 sqft of living space on a 1,916 sqft lot, currently assessed at $339,000. Its standout feature is age: it ranks among the newest homes on its street (top 3%) and in the top 1% citywide in Winnipeg. The living area is slightly above the street average but below the broader neighbourhood average, which includes larger, older homes. The land area is modest, ranking low on the street and neighbourhood levels.

The appeal lies in getting a nearly new home without paying a premium for a large lot or a top-tier neighbourhood. It offers modern construction and efficiency in a street where homes are consistently around 1,300 sqft. This property suits a buyer who prioritizes a newer build and lower maintenance over square footage or yard space—someone who values a move-in-ready home in a mid-range area, rather than chasing the largest house or lot in the district.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $339,000 is around average for Mira Gate (ranked 18th out of 29) but below the neighbourhood and citywide averages. That’s partly because West Kildonan Industrial has many larger, older homes with higher values, and the city average includes a wide range of property types. For a newer home of this size, the assessment is fair and competitive.

2. Is the small lot a drawback in this area?
It depends on your needs. The lot is below average for the street and significantly smaller than the neighbourhood norm. However, newer developments in Winnipeg often feature compact lots to maximize living space per square foot. If you want a garden or outdoor entertaining area, this won’t offer much. But for reduced yard maintenance and a more urban footprint, it’s a practical trade-off.

3. What does “Elite” ranking for year built actually mean here?
It means this home is among the newest in its immediate street and the entire city. In a city where the average home was built in 1966, a 2022 build is exceptionally rare. That translates to better energy efficiency, modern building codes, and likely fewer immediate repair or renovation costs. It also means the home’s systems (roof, HVAC, windows) are at the start of their lifespan.

4. How does the living area compare to other homes I might look at in Winnipeg?
At 1,327 sqft, it sits near the citywide average for comparable homes (1,342 sqft). It’s not large by neighbourhood standards (where average is 1,591 sqft), but it’s not small by city standards either. The key takeaway: you’re getting a typical-sized home for Winnipeg, but in a newer package than most.

5. Why are the rankings so different across street, neighbourhood, and city levels?
Because each level compares the home to a different set of properties. On Mira Gate, homes are fairly uniform and newer, so a 2022 build stands out. In the wider West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, many homes are older and larger, so this property’s lot and size look smaller by comparison. Citywide, the mix is vast, so rankings reflect how it stacks against everything from century-old houses to new subdivisions. This home performs best where age matters most.
