Property Overview
22 Royal Crest Drive is a substantial family home in Winnipeg's sought-after Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 2003, its primary appeal lies in its exceptional combination of generous indoor and outdoor space. With over 3,000 square feet of living area, the home ranks in the top tier for size both locally and city-wide. Its most distinctive feature, however, is the land: a 21,317 sqft lot that is the largest on its street and places it in the top 1% of properties in Winnipeg for lot size. This creates a rare opportunity for privacy, expansion, or extensive landscaping within the city.
The home’s assessed value of $1.6M reflects its premium positioning. It suits buyers looking for an established, high-end property in a prime neighbourhood who prioritize space and potential over a brand-new build. The appeal is for those who value a legacy-sized lot—a feature becoming increasingly scarce—and who have the vision to update a 20+ year-old home to modern standards. It’s a property for a family seeking a long-term foundation in one of the city’s most consistent and desirable communities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this property stand out in Linden Woods?
While Linden Woods has many large homes, this property’s lot size is exceptional. At over 21,000 sqft, it is the largest on Royal Crest Drive and offers a level of privacy and yard space that is very uncommon, even in this neighbourhood.
Is the home dated, given it was built in 2003?
The home is from 2003, which is considered newer than the average Winnipeg home. It likely has a modern layout but may require updates to finishes, kitchens, and bathrooms to match current luxury standards. This presents both a project and an opportunity to customize.
How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The property is assessed at $1.6M. It last sold in 2022 for an estimated $1.8M-$1.85M. This difference suggests the market has historically valued it above its assessed value, which is common for premium properties, but buyers should seek a current market evaluation.
Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, turn-key new build or those with no interest in utilizing or maintaining a very large lot. The scale of the home and land implies corresponding upkeep and utility costs.
Can I see how this property compares to its immediate neighbours?
Yes. A neighbourhood analysis map is available to compare this home directly with nearby properties on metrics like year built, lot size, and assessed value, providing clear context for its position on the street.
