189 Atlas Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,899 sqft home built in 2020, sitting on a 4,014 sqft lot in West Kildonan Industrial. The property ranks in the top 14% city-wide for living space and the top 3% for building age—meaning you’re getting a newer, larger home than most of what’s available across Winnipeg. The assessed value sits around $496,000, which is above the neighbourhood and city averages, but remains close to the street average, suggesting the lot size (which is smaller than most on Atlas Crescent) keeps the overall price in check.
The appeal here is efficiency: you get modern construction, generous interior square footage, and a relatively compact lot that may mean lower yard maintenance. For buyers who prioritize indoor space and a newer build over a big garden, this property hits a sweet spot. It would suit a family or couple looking for move-in-ready quality without paying a premium for land they don’t need. Investors or first-time buyers priced out of older, larger-lot homes in pricier neighborhoods may also find it a solid compromise—newer systems, better energy performance, and a location that’s above average for assessed value without being top of the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property compare to others on the same street?
On Atlas Crescent, it’s slightly below average for living space (38th out of 123) but close to the street average of 1,800 sqft. Its assessed value is near the street average, and the lot is among the smallest—113th out of 123. The key differentiator is its age: it’s newer than 87% of homes on the street.
2. What does “top 3% for building year” mean city-wide?
It means the home was built more recently than roughly 97% of all properties in Winnipeg. The city’s average build year is 1966, so you’re getting a relatively new structure with modern insulation, wiring, and likely better energy efficiency.
3. The lot is listed at 4,014 sqft—is that considered small?
It depends on context. On Atlas Crescent, lots average 5,254 sqft, so this one is noticeably smaller. In the wider West Kildonan Industrial area, it’s close to the average of 3,839 sqft. Across Winnipeg, lots average 6,570 sqft, so this is below the city norm. If you want a large yard, this isn’t it—but for a newer, larger home, the trade-off is typical.
4. Is the assessed value of $496,000 realistic for a mortgage estimate?
Assessed value is used for property tax calculations, not market value. It’s a reasonable starting point, but current market conditions may push the sale price higher or lower. It’s worth noting that the assessment ranks in the top 27% of the area and top 20% city-wide, which aligns with the home’s newer construction and larger interior.
5. What type of maintenance should I expect with a 2020 build?
Homes built in 2020 are still very young. Major systems (roof, HVAC, windows) should have decades of life left. However, newer builds sometimes have minor settling issues or warranty-related items—check if any builder warranties remain transferable. The compact lot also means less landscaping upkeep, which is a plus if you want to keep maintenance light.
