106 Taurus Way – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2020-built home with 1,838 square feet of living space and a 4,015-square-foot lot, located in the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood of Winnipeg. The assessed value is $524,000.
The property’s main strength is its newness and size relative to the rest of the city. It ranks in the top 3% citywide for year built, and its living area is in the top 16%—significantly larger than Winnipeg’s median home. The assessed value also sits in the top 16% citywide, reflecting both the larger floor plan and the recent construction. Within the immediate neighbourhood, it’s above average on both living area and assessed value (top 20% and top 17%, respectively).
The trade-off is the lot. While the land area is average for the neighbourhood, it’s below average citywide (top 74%), meaning you’re not getting a sprawling yard. On the street itself, lots tend to be larger—this home is in the bottom 64% on Taurus Way.
This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes a newer, move-in-ready home with generous interior space over a large lot. It’s a good fit for someone who wants a relatively modern build in an established Winnipeg neighbourhood, without the premium of a newer subdivision. It may also appeal to those who value efficiency of space—less yard maintenance, more square footage inside.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It’s around average on the street for living area, assessed value, and year built. The main difference is the lot—Taurus Way tends to have larger parcels, so this one is smaller than most on the block.
2. Is the neighbourhood generally newer or older?
Mixed. The home itself is newer than most properties in Winnipeg, but within West Kildonan Industrial, the average year built is 2021—so this home is right in line with the local norm. The neighbourhood has a range of build dates, but the overall stock is relatively modern.
3. Why is the land area ranked lower citywide?
Many homes in Winnipeg, especially older ones, sit on larger lots—6,570 square feet is the citywide average. This lot is about 4,000 square feet, which is typical for newer infill or townhome-style developments where land is used more tightly.
4. How is the assessed value determined?
The city assesses based on recent sales of comparable homes, square footage, lot size, and condition. At $524,000, this property is above the neighbourhood average of $442,900 and above the citywide average of $390,100. The assessment reflects its newer construction and above-average living area.
5. What does “top 3% citywide for year built” actually mean?
Only about 3% of all homes in Winnipeg were built more recently than 2020. That puts this property in a very small group of newer builds citywide. Most homes in Winnipeg (the median) were built around 1966, so this is a significant differentiator for buyers who want a newer structure.
