Property Overview: 95 Royal Crest Drive, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 2003-built home in Linden Woods presents a compelling mix of space, location, and value. With 1,855 sqft of living area, it offers above-average space for Winnipeg overall, though it is one of the more modestly sized homes on prestigious Royal Crest Drive. Its true standout feature is its assessed value of $75,10k, which ranks in the elite top 3% citywide, suggesting significant value for the property tax base. The lot size of over 8,000 sqft is generous, ranking well above the city average.
The appeal lies in its position within a desirable, established neighbourhood, offering a larger-than-typical lot and a home with modern fundamentals (built this century) at an assessment that indicates strong value. It would suit value-conscious buyers looking to enter the Linden Woods area who prioritize lot size and neighbourhood prestige over having the largest house on the street. It’s also a sensible option for those mindful of property taxes, given its proportionally lower assessed value relative to the area.
