251 Orion Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This is a newer, spacious home in Winnipeg's West Kildonan Industrial area, built in 2022 with 2,574 square feet of living space on a 7,507-square-foot lot. It ranks in the top 1–2% citywide for living area and top 5% for assessed value. The home sits on a street where it ranks #1 for size and #2 for newness, placing it among the most substantial and recently built properties on Orion Crescent.
The appeal is straightforward for buyers who want a large, modern home without the compromises that often come with older, established neighbourhoods—like smaller rooms, outdated layouts, or limited lot sizes. The lot itself is generous relative to the immediate area (top 4% in the neighbourhood), though citywide it's above average rather than exceptional (top 13%). That suggests the home has good indoor-outdoor balance without being oversized land-wise.
The assessed value of $654,000 sits well above the neighbourhood average of $442,900, reflecting the premium for size, age, and location relative to nearby homes. This property would suit buyers who prioritize interior space and a newer build over a central or historic location, and who are comfortable being in a top-tier tier for both size and value relative to their street and city.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on Orion Crescent?
It ranks #1 out of 107 homes for living area (2,574 sqft vs. the street average of 1,812) and #2 out of 107 for year built (2022 vs. the street average of 2021). It's also in the top 5% for assessed value there.
2. Is the lot unusually large for the area?
Yes, relative to the neighborhood. The land area is 7,507 sqft, which is top 4% in West Kildonan Industrial (neighborhood average: 3,839 sqft). Citywide, it falls in the top 13%, so it's not extreme but definitely generous for this part of the city.
3. Why is the assessed value so much higher than the neighborhood average?
The home is larger (2,574 sqft vs. 1,591 neighborhood average) and newer (2022 vs. 2021 average). The combination of size and recent construction pushes its assessed value to about $654,000, compared to the neighborhood median of $442,900.
4. How does the year built compare to other homes in Winnipeg?
It ranks in the top 1% citywide for newness (built 2022 vs. the Winnipeg average of 1966). This is an unusually recent build for the city as a whole.
5. Is this property in a "top tier" for all categories?
Not quite. It's elite (top 2% or better) for living area street- and neighbourhood-wide, and for assessed value at the neighbourhood level. Year built is elite citywide and on the street, but only above average within the neighbourhood itself (top 19%). Land area is above average on the street and citywide, but elite within the neighbourhood. So it's consistently strong, but strongest for size and newness.
