Property Overview: 30 Maligne Way, Fraipont
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home, built in 2020, presents a modern living option in Winnipeg's Fraipont neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its balance of being a relatively new build with a practical layout. With 1,381 sqft of living space, it is sized for efficiency rather than expansiveness, sitting below the average for its immediate street and area, but aligning closely with the average home city-wide. The assessed value of $440k positions it as a premium option locally but offers above-average value compared to the broader Winnipeg market, where homes are typically older.
A thoughtful perspective is the lot size. At just over 4,000 sqft, the land area is notably larger than most on Maligne Way and is average for Fraipont, providing good outdoor space for a newer subdivision home, even if it's smaller than the city's typical lot. The property includes a detached garage and an unfinished basement, offering a blank canvas for future expansion.
This home would best suit first-time buyers or small families seeking a modern, low-maintenance property without the premium for a large footprint. It’s also a sensible choice for value-conscious buyers who prioritize newer construction (avoiding older home maintenance) and are comfortable with a home that is efficient and competitively priced within the wider city context.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to others in Winnipeg?

3. What are the implications of the lot size?
At 4,065 sqft, the lot is larger than many on the same street, which is a plus for outdoor space. However, it is below the city-wide average lot size, which is typical for newer subdivisions where land is used more efficiently.
4. The home sold recently in March 2025. What can the price range tell me?
