87 Mira Gate
What You Need to Know
This is a 2022-built home with 1,327 square feet of living space on a 2,343-square-foot lot in West Kildonan Industrial. Its assessed value is $367,000.
The main draw is the building itself. On Mira Gate, it ranks #1 out of 29 homes for year built, and #1 for living area—meaning it’s one of the newest and roomiest on the street. Citywide, it sits in the top 1% for newness (built 2022 vs. a city median of 1966). The assessed value also leads the street, coming in at #2 out of 29.
The trade-off is the land. The lot is small relative to the neighbourhood and the city as a whole, ranking in the bottom 10% locally and bottom 2% citywide. And while the home stands out on its street, it’s only average or slightly below in the broader West Kildonan Industrial area, where many homes are older, larger, and sit on bigger lots.
Who it suits: Buyers who care more about a move-in-ready, modern home than a large yard. This would appeal to someone looking for low-maintenance living, first-time buyers wanting something newer without a suburban commute, or anyone downsizing from an older, bigger house who still wants a recent build. It’s less suited to families needing outdoor space or buyers who see lot size as a long-term investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Mira Gate specifically?
It ranks #1 for living area (1,327 sqft vs. street average of 1,319), #2 for assessed value ($367K vs. $346K), and #1 for year built (2022 vs. 2021). Lot size is more average—#11 out of 29. So on this street, it’s one of the bigger, newer, and more valuable homes, but the lot is unremarkable.
2. The neighborhood rank seems low for assessed value and living area. Why?
The West Kildonan Industrial area includes much older homes on larger lots, some of which are quite spacious. Compared to that broader mix, this home’s 1,327 sqft and $367K value fall below the neighbourhood median of 1,591 sqft and $443K. It’s not that the home is small or cheap—it’s that the surrounding area has bigger, pricier properties that skew the average.
3. Is the lot size a problem?
It depends on your expectations. The 2,343 sqft lot is smaller than most in the city and the neighbourhood. If you want a garden, room for a trampoline, or future expansion, you’d likely be frustrated. But if you want minimal yard work and a more compact footprint, it’s a feature, not a flaw.
4. How reliable are the rankings and averages shown?
The data compares this home to “comparable homes” within each scope (street, neighbourhood, city). The bar fill and tier colors are relative, not absolute—so “above average” on the street doesn’t mean the same as “above average” citywide. The averages are rough medians, not exact benchmarks. Worth taking as directional, not definitive.
5. What’s the best way to see how this property fits into the area?
The neighbourhood analysis page shows a map with nearby houses, letting you compare year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size side-by-side. That gives a much clearer picture than rankings alone, especially for understanding the street’s character and how this home fits in.
