106 Orion Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2021-built home with 1,866 sq ft of living space on a 6,347 sq ft lot. Its standout feature is the build year: among all homes citywide (Winnipeg), it ranks in the top 2% for newness. The property sits comfortably above average in both living area and land size compared to others in its West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, and holds its own on Orion Crescent itself, where it’s close to the street average in size and assessed value.
The home’s appeal lies in the combination of a recent build and a lot that’s larger than what many newer infill homes offer. It’s not the biggest house on the street, but it’s solidly above the local and city benchmarks—particularly in square footage, where it ranks in the top 15% citywide. The assessed value of $515,000 is slightly below the street average but well above the neighbourhood and city averages, which reflects a newer property in an area where many homes are older and lower-valued.
This property would suit buyers who want a relatively new home without the premium of a brand-new build, and who value a functional lot size over maximum square footage. It’s less suited to someone looking for a character home in a mature neighbourhood, or for a house that’s the largest on its street.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property compare to others on Orion Crescent?
On its street, the home ranks 38th of 107 for living area (top 36%), 44th for assessed value (top 41%), and 19th for build year (top 18%). It’s slightly smaller and lower-valued than the street average, but newer than most. The lot (6,347 sq ft) is above the street average of 4,976 sq ft.
2. Is the assessed value of $515,000 close to market value?
Assessed value is used for property tax purposes and may differ from current market value. In this case, the home is newer and above neighbourhood averages in size and value, which could support a market price above assessment, but that depends on recent sales and condition.
3. What’s the neighbourhood like, and is this home typical for the area?
West Kildonan Industrial is a mixed-use area with a wide range of home ages and sizes. This property is newer than 71% of homes in the community and has a larger lot than 92% of them. It’s not typical—it’s more recent and sits on more land than most nearby homes.
4. How does the lot size compare citywide?
Citywide, the 6,347 sq ft lot ranks in the top 25%. That’s above average, but not exceptional—many Winnipeg homes have similar or larger lots. The lot is more notable within the local neighbourhood, where it’s in the top 8%.
5. Would this home work for someone looking to renovate or expand?
The home is only a few years old, so major renovations are unlikely to be needed. The lot offers some flexibility for additions like a garage, shed, or landscaping, but the house already occupies a fair portion of the land. Check local zoning before planning any major changes.
