141 Orion Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile
This is a 2021-built, single-family home with 1,876 sq. ft. of living space on a 6,791 sq. ft. lot. Its standout traits are a recently new build in an area dominated by older homes, a land size well above the neighborhood average, and an assessed value that ranks in the top 5% of its community.
The appeal lies in the combination of new construction with a generous lot—something that’s uncommon in West Kildonan Industrial, where the typical lot is under 4,000 sq. ft. The home is newer than roughly 98% of properties citywide, which means fewer immediate maintenance concerns and modern building standards. While it holds strong on paper against the street and city averages, its value proposition is most apparent when compared to older, smaller homes in the same neighborhood.
This property would suit buyers who want the feel of a newer suburban home within a well-established, central Winnipeg area—without moving to a far-out development. It’s also a fit for someone who prioritizes lot size and doesn’t want to compromise on build age. Families looking for a home that won’t need major work for a decade or more, and who appreciate having a yard larger than what most newer subdivisions offer, would find this worth a close look.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the property compare to others on Orion Crescent specifically?
On the street, it’s slightly above average in size and assessed value, but not at the top. It ranks 35th out of 107 homes for living area (within the top third) and 13th for assessed value (top 12%). The lot is also larger than most—15th out of 107.
2. Is the home’s assessed value reasonable given its age and location?
The assessed value is high for the neighborhood (top 5%), which reflects both the newer construction and the larger land. Whether that’s reasonable depends on what comparable recent sales show. The data here is on assessments, not market price, so a buyer should cross-check with recent sold prices on the street.
3. What’s the neighborhood like in terms of home ages and turnover?
West Kildonan Industrial has a mix of older homes (the median build year citywide is 1966), so this property is significantly newer than most in the area. That can be an advantage for resale, especially if nearby homes start to need more renovation.
4. How does the lot size compare to what’s typical in Winnipeg as a whole?
The lot is 6,791 sq. ft., which is slightly above the city average of 6,570 sq. ft., but notably larger than both the street average (4,976 sq. ft.) and the community average (3,839 sq. ft.). That makes the lot a genuine differentiator within its immediate area.
5. Does the high assessment mean the property taxes will be higher than similar homes nearby?
Yes, generally speaking, a higher assessed value leads to higher property taxes. That said, taxes are based on mill rates applied citywide, and this home’s assessment is roughly 40% above the neighborhood average. A buyer should check the actual tax bill before committing, but expect it to be above what older, smaller homes in the same area pay.
