Property Overview: 435 Crestmont Drive
Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal
This two-storey home at 435 Crestmont Drive in Fraipont is a modern, low-maintenance property built in 2021. Its primary appeal lies in its balance of being a newer build within an established neighbourhood, offering a move-in-ready canvas without the concerns of an aging structure. With 1,646 sqft of living space and an attached garage, it provides practical family-sized accommodation.
The home’s standout characteristic is its relative value within the broader city context. While it sits around the average for its street and neighbourhood in terms of size and assessed value, it ranks within the top quarter of all Winnipeg homes for both living area and assessed value. This indicates you get more modern space for your dollar here compared to the typical, often older, city-wide housing stock. The lot size (3,937 sqft) is above average for Crestmont Drive, offering good outdoor space for a newer subdivision home, though it is more compact than the classic Winnipeg lot.
This property would suit first-time buyers or young families seeking a modern home without a major renovation project. It’s also a sensible choice for value-conscious buyers who prioritize newer construction efficiencies (like updated building codes and materials) but want to be part of a developed community with mature nearby properties for comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a good value compared to other Winnipeg homes?
Yes, from a city-wide perspective. The home ranks in the top 23% for living area and top 24% for assessed value against all Winnipeg properties, meaning it offers above-average space and valuation compared to the typical, often older, home in the city.
2. What is the neighbourhood like?
Fraipont appears to be a newer, developing subdivision. The listing shows several nearby homes on Crestmont Drive with very similar build years (2021-2023), suggesting a cohesive, modern streetscape with neighbours who likely moved in around the same time.
3. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is 3,937 sqft, which is above average for Crestmont Drive itself (top 22%). However, it is below the city-wide average lot size. This is typical for newer subdivisions and translates to less yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space than in older neighbourhoods.
4. What is the exact prior sale price?
The public data shows a sale in October 2021 for an estimated range of $45.50k to $48.50k. The current assessed value is $47.60k. For the precise historical sale price, you must request it directly from SaveOnHouse via the provided email button, as they manually verify and supply that data.

Yes. The listing shows several nearby properties on the same street with almost identical build years (2023) and slightly smaller living areas and assessed values (e.g., 357 and 333 Crestmont Drive). This provides a clear benchmark for comparing size, value, and the neighbourhood's character.
