102 Orion Crescent – Property Overview
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2020-built home with 2,076 sq ft of living space, sitting on a notably large 9,274 sq ft lot. The land alone ranks in the top 2% on Orion Crescent and top 1% within the West Kildonan Industrial community—meaning this property offers significantly more outdoor space than nearly all nearby homes. The assessed value of $568,000 also sits above average at every geographic level, from street to citywide.
Where the property really stands out is its combination of newer construction and generous lot size. While the home is slightly newer than the neighbourhood average, it was built in 2020, which puts it among the newest 3% of homes in all of Winnipeg. That matters for buyers who want modern building standards, energy efficiency, and less immediate maintenance—without buying into a brand-new subdivision with smaller lots.
The appeal lies in the rare balance: a contemporary house with a yard that would be hard to find in a newer development. You’re not getting a postage-stamp lot; you’re getting nearly a quarter-acre in a built-up area. The living space, while above average, isn’t oversized—it's practical rather than extravagant. This makes the property feel substantial without being wasteful.
Who it suits: Buyers who want a newer home with room to breathe outdoors—families who value a large yard for kids or gardening, people who might want space for a workshop, garage expansion, or recreational vehicles. Also a strong fit for anyone who wants to avoid the cookie-cutter feel of a new subdivision but still wants a modern interior. Less suited for someone looking for a compact, low-maintenance urban lot or a fixer-upper with character.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property compare to others on the same street?
On Orion Crescent, this home ranks 21st out of 107 for living space (top 20%) and 2nd for lot size (top 2%). It’s one of the larger properties on the street, both inside and out, while being slightly newer than average—though a handful of homes on the street were built in 2021 or later.
2. Is the assessed value of $568,000 realistic?
The assessment is above the average for all three comparison areas—street, community, and city—reflecting the home’s larger size and land. It’s not dramatically higher than the street average ($522,000) but is notably above the citywide average ($390,000). Buyers should note that assessed value may not always match current market conditions, so a local realtor’s market analysis would be wise.
3. How old is the home, and what condition should I expect?
Built in 2020, the home is roughly 5 years old as of writing. It’s newer than 97% of homes in Winnipeg and is in generally modern condition. That said, buyers should still check for typical wear in mechanical systems, roofing, and appliances—newness doesn’t guarantee zero issues.
4. What does “top 1% for lot size in the community” actually mean?
Within the West Kildonan Industrial area, only 4 out of 664 properties have larger lots. At 9,274 sq ft, this lot is more than double the community average of 3,839 sq ft. That’s a meaningful difference—especially for buyers who want privacy, outdoor space, or development potential (subject to zoning).
5. How does this property compare to newer subdivisions on the outskirts of Winnipeg?
Unlike many new builds on the city fringe, this home sits on a much larger lot and is in a more established area. The trade-off is that the home isn’t brand-new, and the immediate surroundings may feel more developed and less uniform. For buyers who want modern construction without sacrificing yard space, this is a compelling alternative.
