53 Atlas Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home sits on a notably large lot of 7,508 sqft, which ranks in the top 3% within the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood and top 8% on Atlas Crescent. The land area is well above the street average of 5,254 sqft, giving the property a sense of space that many newer infill homes lack. The assessed value of $630,000 is also strong—top 3% in the area and top 6% citywide—reflecting both the land value and the quality of the 2021-built house.
The living area is 1,535 sqft, which is slightly below the street average of 1,800 sqft, but still above the citywide average. That said, the house is newer than most of its neighbours (ranked top 6% on the street for year built), and the combination of a modern build with a big lot is not common in this part of Winnipeg.
Who it suits: Buyers who want a relatively new home without a cookie-cutter small lot. The property offers a larger outdoor footprint than most recent builds, which appeals to families, gardeners, or anyone wanting room for a shop, garage, or future expansion. It may also suit someone who values asset strength—the assessed value ranks high, which suggests good resale positioning. Less obvious: this home could appeal to buyers who want to be in an older, established street but don't want the maintenance of an older house. Atlas Crescent likely has a mix of vintage homes and newer infills; this property leans into the best of both.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
On Atlas Crescent, this home is smaller than average—ranked 98th out of 123 homes. But in the broader West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, it sits around the middle (top 45%). Citywide, it's above average. So you're getting less interior space than some neighbours, but the trade-off is the larger lot and newer construction.
2. Is the assessed value in line with the sale price?
$630,000 is the assessed value, which is significantly above the street average of $509,600 and the neighbourhood average of $442,900. This places it among the top handful of homes in the area by value. If you're comparing to a listing price, it's worth checking whether the assessment reflects recent market conditions or lags behind.
3. When was the house built, and how does that affect maintenance?
Built in 2021, it's one of the newest homes on Atlas Crescent (top 6% on the street) and in the top 2% citywide for newer builds. That means you're likely dealing with modern building codes, energy efficiency, and fewer immediate repairs. But being new doesn't mean zero issues—warranty periods differ, and it's worth checking what's still covered.
4. The land area seems generous—what can you actually do with a 7,508 sqft lot?
That's about 25% larger than the street average and nearly double the neighbourhood average. For context, a standard Winnipeg infill lot is often around 4,000–5,000 sqft. This gives you room for a detached garage, a large garden, or potential for a future addition—pending zoning. It also means more yard maintenance, but for someone wanting outdoor space in a newer home, that's likely a feature, not a drawback.
5. How does this property rank in terms of overall investment strength?
It ranks highly on three of four key metrics: land area (top 3–8%), assessed value (top 3–8%), and year built (top 2–6%). The only metric where it sits lower is living area (top 45–80%, depending on scope). That mix suggests the value is concentrated in the land and the newness, not the interior square footage. For resale, that can be a positive—land is a finite asset, while interior updates can always be done later.
