Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,596 sqft single-family home built in 2019 on a 4,613 sqft lot, located at 163 Atlas Crescent in Winnipeg’s West Kildonan Industrial area. The property sits close to the street average for both size and assessed value, meaning it’s a fairly typical home for Atlas Crescent itself. But compared to the wider city, it stands out: the house is larger than about three-quarters of Winnipeg homes and newer than 96% of them. The assessed value of $476,000 is also above the city median, reflecting the relative newness and size.
The appeal here is in the balance. It’s not the biggest or most expensive house on its street, but it’s significantly newer than most homes in the city and offers more interior space than what’s typical across Winnipeg. The lot is smaller than the street average but larger than the community average—so you get a manageable yard without the maintenance of an oversized property. The home is modern (built in 2019), which usually means better energy efficiency, fewer immediate repairs, and contemporary layouts.
This property would suit buyers who want a relatively new home without paying for a brand-new build or a premium location. It’s a good fit for someone who values space over lot size, prefers a house that doesn’t need major updates, and is comfortable in a mid-range street within an established area. Investors or first-time buyers looking for a solid, low-surprise property might also find it appealing, though the above-average city assessed value means it’s not a budget entry point.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s size compare to others nearby?
On Atlas Crescent, the 1,596 sqft is slightly smaller than the street average of 1,800 sqft—it ranks in the middle of the pack. But within the broader West Kildonan Industrial community, it’s almost exactly average. Across all of Winnipeg, it’s above average, ranking in the top 26% for interior size.
2. Is the assessed value in line with the neighborhood?
Yes, largely. The $476,000 assessment is close to the Atlas Crescent average of $510,000 and slightly above the community average of $443,000. Citywide, it’s above average (top 24%), which makes sense given the home’s newer construction and larger-than-average floor plan.
3. Why is the lot size smaller than the street average but bigger than the community average?
Atlas Crescent has homes with relatively large lots (average 5,254 sqft), so this property’s 4,613 sqft lot is on the smaller side for the street. But the West Kildonan Industrial area overall has smaller lots (average 3,839 sqft), so compared to the wider community, this lot is actually above average. It’s a reminder that “small” or “large” depends entirely on the comparison group.
4. The house was built in 2019—what does that mean practically?
It means the home is only about five years old, which puts it in the newest 4% of houses across Winnipeg. You’d typically expect modern construction standards, better insulation, up-to-date electrical and plumbing, and fewer major repairs in the near term. It also suggests the layout and finishes are likely more current than homes from the 1960s or 1970s, which make up the city’s average.
5. How does this property rank compared to others in the same price range?
There’s no direct price-to-ranking data provided for similar priced homes, but you can look at it this way: among homes with a similar assessed value citywide, this one has a newer build year and slightly above-average interior space. The lot is smaller than the city median, which might be a trade-off for some buyers.
