Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a 1,534 sqft home built in 2018 on a 2,569 sqft lot at 179 North Point Boulevard. Its strongest feature is the living area: it's ranked #1 on this street (top 2%) and sits in the top 29% citywide, meaning it offers notably more interior space than most comparable homes in Winnipeg. The construction year, while below average for the immediate street and neighbourhood (which are newer on average), places it in the top 4% of homes across the entire city—so it’s relatively young by broader standards.
The assessed value of $366k is around average for the street and citywide, and actually below the neighbourhood average of $442.9k. This suggests you’re getting the larger interior space without a premium on assessed value, which could translate to a more reasonable tax burden relative to square footage. The lot size is on the smaller side—below average for the area and city—so outdoor space is limited.
Where the appeal lies: The home is a good match for buyers who prioritize interior square footage and a relatively new build over a large yard. It suits someone who wants more room inside—perhaps for a growing family, a home office, or entertaining—without paying top dollar for a high-assessment property. The street-level ranking for living area is unusually strong, so if you value being one of the largest homes on the block, this stands out. It’s less suited for buyers who need a big lot or want to be in a neighbourhood with newer average construction.
FAQs
1. How does the lot size compare to typical homes in the area?
The lot is 2,569 sqft, which is around average for this street but well below the neighbourhood average of 3,839 sqft and far below the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. If you want a substantial yard or garden space, you’d likely find more elsewhere.
2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of what I’ll pay in property taxes?
Generally, yes. Since the assessed value of $366k is below both the neighbourhood and city averages, your property tax bill should be lower than many comparable homes in West Kildonan Industrial. That said, tax rates vary, and reassessments happen periodically.
3. The house is from 2018, but the street average is 2022. Does that matter?
It means most nearby homes were built more recently, so yours isn’t the newest on the block. However, 2018 is still a relatively modern build—it likely includes updated materials, building codes, and energy efficiency. Citywide, it’s in the top 4% for year built, so by Winnipeg standards, it’s a young home.
4. What does it mean that the home is ranked #1 on the street for living area?
It simply has the largest interior square footage among comparable homes on North Point Boulevard. That can be a perk for resale value or everyday use, but keep in mind that a standout feature in one category doesn’t guarantee the same in others—like lot size or assessment.
5. How are these rankings calculated, and should I rely on them?
The rankings compare this home to other single-family homes within the same street, neighbourhood, and city, using factors like living area, lot size, year built, and assessed value. They’re useful for a quick sense of where the property sits, but they don’t account for condition, layout, renovations, or personal preferences. Use them as a starting point, not a final verdict.
