Property Overview: 51 Helen Mayba Crescent, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home, built in 2011, offers a modern living space in the Meadows neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average size and contemporary build relative to the wider area. With 1,740 sqft of living area, the home is notably more spacious than many in both the Meadows and across Winnipeg, placing it within the top 20% citywide. Its 2011 construction date is also a significant asset, ranking it in the elite top 5% for age within the neighbourhood, suggesting modern building standards and less immediate need for major updates.
The assessed value is consistently above average for its area and the city, indicating strong official valuation. A thoughtful perspective is the lot size: at 4,648 sqft, it is smaller than most on its own street, which may mean less yard maintenance but could be a consideration for those seeking extensive outdoor space. This property would suit buyers looking for a move-in ready, modern home with generous interior space, who prioritize a newer build within a well-established community. It’s a solid choice for professionals or families seeking comfort and convenience without the quirks or renovation projects of an older house.
