Property Overview
This home at 97 Cartesian Gate is a modern, above-average property in Winnipeg's Leila North neighbourhood. Built in 2019, it offers over 2,000 sqft of living space on a generous 6,757 sqft lot. Its assessed value of $610k positions it well above average for both the immediate area and the city overall. The appeal lies in its contemporary construction, which means fewer immediate maintenance concerns, combined with a lot size that offers ample outdoor space—a less common pairing in newer subdivisions. It particularly suits growing families or professionals seeking a move-in ready home with room to grow, without the typical upkeep of an older property. A thoughtful perspective is its strong standing within its own micro-market on Cartesian Gate; it's not just a nice home city-wide, but a top-tier property on its specific street, which can be a stabilizing factor for value.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Top X%" ranking actually mean?
It shows how this property compares to similar homes in three geographic tiers: its immediate street, the broader Leila North area, and all of Winnipeg. For example, its lot size is in the top 7% on Cartesian Gate, meaning it has one of the largest yards on the block.
Is the assessed value the same as the market price?
No. The assessed value ($610k) is for municipal tax purposes. The market price is determined by current buyer demand. The last recorded sale was between $450k-$500k in 2019, so the assessed value reflects significant appreciation since construction.
What are the advantages of a 2019 build?
Beyond modern layouts and systems, a key advantage is energy efficiency and building code compliance from that period, potentially leading to lower utility costs. It also likely means a longer period before major components like the roof or HVAC require replacement.
How does the lot size compare to typical city lots?
At 6,757 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than the Winnipeg average (~6,570 sqft) and much larger than the average in Leila North (~5,490 sqft). This offers more privacy and space for gardens, play, or additions than many newer homes.
