168 Atlas Crescent — Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2019-built home with 1,766 sq ft of living space, sitting on a 5,019 sq ft lot. What stands out most is the newness of the build relative to the city at large: it falls in the top 4% of homes citywide by construction year, where the average home was built in 1966. That alone gives it a practical edge in terms of modern construction standards, energy efficiency, and reduced immediate maintenance.
Size-wise, the home is solidly above average for both its community (West Kildonan Industrial) and the city overall, though it sits close to the middle of the pack on its own street. The assessed value reflects that: at $514,000, it's right around the street average but well above the community and city medians. The lot is generous for the neighbourhood (top 14%) though modest by city standards.
The appeal here is less about standout luxury and more about solid, above-average metrics across the board—especially age and size. It's the kind of property that suits buyers who want a relatively new home without paying for a brand-new build, and who value being in a more established street where homes hold their value. It would work well for a family or couple looking for a move-in-ready home in a neighbourhood that's not the newest but offers more space per dollar than newer suburban subdivisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property compare to others on Atlas Crescent?
It's very much in line with the street average in terms of size, age, and assessed value. It ranks 53rd out of 123 homes for living area and 41st for assessed value, so it's not an outlier—it's a solid, representative home for the street.
2. Why is the lot size considered "above average" for the community but only "average" citywide?
The community (West Kildonan Industrial) tends to have smaller lots, with an average of about 3,839 sq ft. At 5,019 sq ft, this lot is significantly larger than that. But citywide, including older suburbs with bigger lots, the average climbs to 6,570 sq ft, so it drops to the middle of the pack.
3. Is the assessed value of $514,000 a reliable indicator of market price?
Assessed value is used for property tax calculations and doesn't always match market value. However, since it's close to the street average and the home is relatively new, it's a reasonable reference point. A local real estate agent could give a more current market estimate.
4. What does it mean that the home is in the top 4% citywide for construction year?
It means the home is significantly newer than the vast majority of homes in Winnipeg, where the average build year is 1966. That translates into fewer major repairs likely needed soon—things like roofing, plumbing, electrical, and foundation work that older homes often require.
5. Who typically buys in West Kildonan Industrial, and what's the neighbourhood like?
This area tends to attract buyers who want a balance between newer homes and established streets, often with good access to amenities and schools. It's not the flashiest or newest neighbourhood in the city, but it offers more space and newer builds than many older central areas, with a practical, family-oriented feel.
