7 Taurus Way – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 2019-built home on Taurus Way offers 1,824 square feet of living space on a 4,976-square-foot lot, with an assessed value of $490,000. Its main appeal lies in being significantly newer and larger than most Winnipeg homes—ranking in the top 4% citywide for year built and top 16% for living area. Within the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, the property sits well above average for both size (top 22%) and assessed value (top 29%). The lot is also generous for the area (top 17% locally), though it's closer to average by citywide standards.
What stands out is the contrast between the home's strong overall metrics and its relatively modest street-level ranking: on Taurus Way itself, it's slightly smaller and less valuable than neighbours, and newer than only one other home on the street. This suggests a street with a mix of newer builds and slightly older, more established homes—some with larger footprints or higher assessments.
This property would suit buyers who want a relatively new, move-in-ready home with a good-sized lot in a neighbourhood that offers above-average value compared to the broader city. It's less ideal for someone seeking the biggest or most valuable home on their immediate street, or for those who prioritize a large land area by city standards.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's land area compare to typical Winnipeg lots?
At 4,976 square feet, the lot is slightly smaller than the citywide average of 6,570 square feet, but larger than most lots in the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood (average 3,839 square feet). So you're getting more yard space than what's typical nearby, but not an oversized lot by Winnipeg standards.
2. Why is the assessed value below the street average ($490K vs. $534.8K) while being above the neighbourhood and city averages?
The street on Taurus Way includes several homes with higher assessments—likely larger homes or those with more upgrades. When compared to the broader neighbourhood or the entire city, this home's value is above par, reflecting that the street itself skews higher-end relative to the surrounding area.
3. Is the 2019 build date considered new for this market?
Very much so. While it's not the newest home on Taurus Way (ranked 38 of 39), citywide it's among the newest 4% of homes. In a market where the average home was built in 1966, a five-year-old house offers modern construction, likely better insulation, and fewer immediate maintenance concerns.
4. How does the living area of 1,824 sqft feel compared to other homes in the neighborhood?
It's noticeably roomier than the neighbourhood average of 1,591 square feet—about 15% larger. This means more space than many nearby homes, which can be a real advantage for families needing extra room without moving to a pricier area.
5. Should I be concerned that this home ranks low on its street for year built and assessed value?
Only if you're comparing it to direct neighbours. The street includes a number of homes built just a year or two later, and several with higher market values. For most buyers, the home's strong citywide and neighbourhood rankings matter more for resale and daily living—the street-level data mainly tells you that Taurus Way is a well-established, desirable block.
