134 Avior Drive – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2023-built home with 1,587 sqft of living space on a 4,722 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $497,000.
The property performs strongest at the citywide level. It ranks in the top 26% citywide for living area (above the average of 1,342 sqft) and in the top 20% for assessed value (above the city average of $390,100). Its most standout feature is its age—it ranks in the top 1% of Winnipeg homes for newness, with the citywide average build year being 1966.
On the street (Avior Drive), the home sits around the middle of the pack for both size and value, which suggests it blends in well with its immediate neighbours without being an outlier. In the broader West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, the property is above average in land area (top 23%) and assessed value (top 25%), relative to neighbourhood averages of 3,839 sqft and $442,900 respectively.
The property's appeal lies in offering the peace of mind of a very new build, combined with above-average square footage and lot size compared to much of Winnipeg. It is not a luxury or oversized home, but it is solidly above typical city standards for newer construction. A less obvious point: the land area is only average citywide (top 62%), which is typical for newer infill homes that prioritize modern finishes over expansive yards. This means buyers get a modern interior on a manageable lot, rather than a sprawling older property.
This home would suit buyers looking for a recently built, low-maintenance property in a settled street. It is a good fit for first-time homeowners who want something turnkey, or for anyone downsizing from an older larger home without wanting to sacrifice indoor space. It is less suited to those seeking a large backyard or a fixer-upper with character.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It is very close to the street average for living area (1,587 sqft vs. 1,708 sqft) and assessed value ($497k vs. $498.9k). It is a typical home on Avior Drive—neither the largest nor the smallest, and priced in line with neighbours. The main difference is that it was built in 2023, whereas the street average is 2024, so it is nearly identical in age to many nearby homes.
2. Why is the land area "average" citywide but "above average" in the neighbourhood?
Newer neighbourhoods in Winnipeg—especially those built on former industrial land—tend to have smaller lots than older city areas. Locally, the neighbourhood average lot is 3,839 sqft, so this property’s 4,722 sqft is a good size. But citywide, Winnipeg includes many older suburbs with much larger lots, so the city average is 6,570 sqft. The home offers a generous lot for its area without being oversized by historical city standards.
3. Is a 2023 build a significant advantage compared to an older home?
Yes, particularly in this price range. The citywide average build year is 1966, meaning most homes near this value are 50+ years old. Newer construction typically offers better insulation, modern electrical and plumbing, lower maintenance costs, and fewer immediate repair needs. However, it also means the property may have less mature landscaping or established trees than older homes.
4. How was the assessed value of $497k determined?
The assessed value is based on comparable sales and characteristics of similar homes. On Avior Drive, this figure is close to the street average, reflecting its typical size and finishes for the area. At the neighbourhood and city levels, it ranks higher because the home is newer and slightly larger than many other properties in those broader groups.
5. What is the overall best feature of this property—the living area, the land, the age, or the value?
The home’s standout feature is its age, placing it in the top 1% citywide for newness. This is rare for a property at this price point. The living area and assessed value are both comfortably above average citywide (top 26% and top 20% respectively), but neither is exceptional. A thoughtful take: the combination of being very new, having above-average indoor space, and sitting on a lot that is generous for its neighbourhood makes this a balanced, low-fuss home rather than one that excels dramatically in just one category.
