50 Taurus Way – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 2020-built home on Taurus Way offers 1,862 square feet of living space on a 4,015-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $527,000.
The property sits in a strong position relative to the broader market. Across Winnipeg, it ranks in the top 15% for living area, top 16% for assessed value, and top 3% for build year—meaning it’s newer than the vast majority of homes city-wide, where the average construction year is 1966. Within its own street and neighbourhood (West Kildonan Industrial), it stays close to the local averages for size and value, so it doesn’t stand out dramatically from its immediate neighbours but is clearly above the citywide baseline.
Where the property is less competitive is lot size. On Taurus Way, it ranks 25th out of 39 homes, and city-wide it sits in the bottom 26% for land area. Buyers who value a larger yard or outdoor space may find this a limitation.
The appeal lies in the combination of a modern build, above-average interior square footage, and assessed value that aligns with a well-kept, newer home in a stable area. It suits buyers who want a relatively new, move-in-ready house without paying a premium for a large lot or a high-status street. It’s a practical choice for someone who prioritizes indoor space and recent construction over land size or street prestige.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
On Taurus Way (39 homes total), this property ranks 19th in living area (near average), 15th in assessed value (slightly above average), and 17th in build year (near average). It’s a solid, middle-of-the-pack house on its street—not oversized or overpriced relative to neighbours.
2. Is the lot size a concern?
It depends on your needs. At 4,015 sq ft, the lot is smaller than the street average (5,153 sq ft) and well below the citywide average (6,570 sq ft). If you want a large backyard, garden space, or room for expansion, this property is less suited. But if you’re happy with a manageable yard and less outdoor upkeep, it’s not necessarily a drawback.
3. Why is the assessed value above the neighbourhood average but close to the street average?
The neighbourhood (West Kildonan Industrial) has a lower average assessed value ($443,000), so this home sits well above that. But on its own street, where homes are more uniformly modern and similar in size, the value is near the street average ($535,000). This suggests the street itself is a bit pricier than the broader neighbourhood.
4. How old is the house relative to other homes in Winnipeg?
Built in 2020, it’s among the newest 3% of homes city-wide. In a market where the average home was built in 1966, this is a significant advantage for buyers wanting modern construction, better energy efficiency, and fewer immediate renovation needs.
5. What does the “progress bar” and color coding mean in the rankings?
The progress bar shows where this property falls compared to others in the same group (street, neighbourhood, or city). A longer colored bar means it ranks higher (e.g., bigger, newer, or more valuable). The colors shift from red (lower ranking) through yellow to blue (higher ranking). A dashed vertical line marks the middle point (median). The white marker shows this property’s exact position. It’s a quick visual reference for how a given measure stacks up.
