80 Atlas Crescent – Property Overview
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 2019-built home stands out primarily for its size. With 2,281 square feet of living space, it ranks in the top 5% city-wide and in the top 5% within its local community of West Kildonan Industrial. On its own street, Atlas Crescent, it holds a top 13% position among 123 properties. In practical terms, it offers roughly 700 square feet more than the typical home in its neighbourhood and almost 1,000 square feet more than the average across Winnipeg.
Its assessed value of $548,000 reflects this size advantage. While it’s above average locally and city-wide, it ranks slightly lower on the street (top 23%), which means there are a handful of higher-value homes nearby. The lot is 4,722 square feet – comparable to the street average but notably larger than the community average, though slightly smaller than the city-wide average.
The property is relatively new, built in 2019. That places it well above the city’s median build year of 1966, though it is on par with the street average and slightly newer than some surrounding homes in the wider community.
Appeal & Suitability
This home would suit buyers who prioritize interior space over land or a prime street ranking. The living area is the property’s strongest asset – it’s genuinely large for any area of the city. For someone who needs room for a growing family, home offices, or multi-generational living, the square footage delivers real value without pushing into the top-tier price brackets of newer custom builds in more central areas.
It may also appeal to buyers who want a newer home in a neighbourhood that’s still being established. The build year is fresher than most of Winnipeg’s housing stock, meaning fewer immediate maintenance concerns. However, the community itself is mixed in age, and the lot size is only modest by city standards – buyers expecting a generous yard might find it underwhelming.
Less obvious: a home of this size and age in this price range can offer a balance between newer construction and lower relative tax exposure, compared to similarly sized homes in older, more desirable neighbourhoods where assessments tend to be higher. For a buyer who values square footage but is willing to trade the prestige of a trendy area for space, this property makes a strong case.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
It’s well above average – 2,281 sq ft is roughly 25% larger than the street average and 40% larger than the community average. City-wide, it places in the top 5% of all homes.
-
Is the assessed value of $548,000 an indicator of market price?
Not directly. The assessed value is used for property tax calculations and may lag behind current market conditions. It does suggest the home is priced higher than most in the community (top 12%), but buyers should still rely on a recent market analysis or appraisal.
-
Why is the lot size considered “close to average” even though it’s smaller than the city norm?
The lot is 4,722 sq ft – comparable to other homes on Atlas Crescent and larger than the community average, but below the city-wide average of 6,570 sq ft. The ranking reflects that many homes in Winnipeg sit on larger lots, especially in older or more suburban areas.
-
What does the “street ranking” actually mean?
It shows how this home compares to others on the same street. For example, a rank of 16 out of 123 for living area means it’s larger than 107 other homes on Atlas Crescent. These rankings provide context but should be weighed against the specific house next door rather than taken as a general advantage.
-
Is the 2019 build year significant for insurance or maintenance?
Generally, yes. A home built after 2010 often qualifies for lower insurance premiums and fewer immediate repair needs (roof, HVAC, plumbing). That said, the community average build year is slightly newer (2021), so some neighbours may have more updated finishes or systems.
