Property Overview: 61 Santa Fe Drive, Mandalay West, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated home in Mandalay West presents a compelling blend of space, value, and a mature neighbourhood setting. Built in 2005, it offers modern construction within an established area. The home’s primary appeal lies in its generous 8,672 sqft lot, which is significantly larger than most in both the immediate area and city-wide, offering ample outdoor space and potential. With 1,364 sqft of living area, the interior size is comfortably average for the city but is notably smaller than most direct neighbours on Santa Fe Drive.
The property’s assessed value stands out as above average for both Mandalay West and Winnipeg overall, suggesting a strong perceived value by the municipality relative to its footprint. This profile suits buyers who prioritize land size and a newer build in a quiet neighbourhood over having the largest house on the street. It’s an ideal match for those seeking room for gardens, play, or future additions, and who appreciate a home that holds its value well within the broader market context.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s size compare to its neighbours?
While the living area is average for Winnipeg, it ranks in the lower tier for Santa Fe Drive itself, where homes are typically larger. The trade-off is a lot size that is well above average for the street.
2. What does the “above average” assessed value indicate?
A higher-than-average assessed value for the neighbourhood and city often reflects desirable attributes like the newer construction year and the substantial lot size, which the municipal assessment model recognizes.
3. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. The lot is in the top 9% city-wide for size. This is a standout feature that offers more privacy, landscaping opportunities, and future flexibility than most properties in Winnipeg.
4. What can the 2020 sale price range tell me?
The previous sale price (CA$450k–500k) provides a historical benchmark. Given the current assessed value and market trends, it serves as a reference point for the home’s appreciation and current pricing strategy.
