Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This property at 3 Mira Gate is a 2021-built home with 1,327 sq ft of living space on a 3,119 sq ft lot. Its standout feature is the lot size, which is the largest on its street and puts it in the top 3% of Mira Gate homes—a meaningful advantage in a neighborhood where lots tend to be smaller. The home itself is also very new relative to the city at large, ranking in the top 2% of Winnipeg homes by build year. That combination of a generous lot and a recent build gives it a rare mix: you get the space and privacy of a larger yard without the maintenance headaches that come with an older house. The assessed value sits close to the street average and well below the community average, suggesting it may offer a more accessible entry point than other homes in the broader West Kildonan Industrial area. This property would particularly suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space (gardening, parking, or room for kids or pets) and want a newer, low-maintenance home without paying a premium for a larger community. It could also appeal to someone looking for a strong lot in a quieter street while staying within a modest budget for the area.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the lot size actually affect daily use?
At 3,119 sq ft, the lot is substantially larger than most others on Mira Gate. That translates to a deeper backyard and more flexibility for things like a garden, a playset, or extra storage—without moving to a property with a much older house.
2. Why is the assessed value lower than the community average?
The West Kildonan Industrial area includes a wide range of homes, many on larger lots or with higher square footage. This property's assessment is closer to its immediate street, which tends to have smaller lots and lower values. That doesn't signal a problem; it just means this home is priced in line with its direct neighbors, not the pricier parts of the wider community.
3. Is a newer build like this one more efficient than older homes?
Generally, yes. Built in 2021, this home meets modern energy codes and building standards, which often means better insulation, more efficient windows, and newer mechanical systems. That's a contrast to the citywide average build year of 1966, where many homes require significant updates.
4. How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
At 1,327 sq ft, the living area is slightly below the community average (1,591 sq ft) but essentially in line with the city average (1,342 sq ft). It's also the largest on its street. So while it may not be the biggest house in the neighborhood, it offers a good amount of space for the street it sits on.
5. What should I know about the ranking system used in the data?
The rankings compare this property against others in three levels: the same street, the same community (West Kildonan Industrial), and all of Winnipeg. Higher rankings (smaller percentage) mean the property is ahead of most others in that category. For example, the lot is in the top 3% on its street, which is a strong local advantage, even though it's below average citywide. The rankings are a useful tool for understanding relative strengths, not absolute quality.
