About This Property
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a newly built home (2023) on Sagitta Street in Winnipeg’s West Kildonan Industrial area. At 1,213 square feet of living space, it’s slightly above average for the street but noticeably below the neighbourhood average of 1,591 square feet—meaning it’s compact relative to the surrounding housing stock. The lot is 3,373 square feet, which is the largest on the street but well below the citywide average. The assessed value of $352,000 tracks close to the street average and sits about 20% below the local area average, which reflects the smaller size of the home.
Its main draw is newness. Built in 2023, it ranks in the top 1% citywide by construction year, and the lot is the most generous on the street. This combination of a fresh build with a relatively large lot for the immediate area may appeal to buyers who want something turnkey but also value outdoor space—something newer infill homes often skimp on.
This would suit a buyer who prioritizes low-maintenance, modern construction and doesn’t need the largest interior footprint. It could also work for someone looking to get into a growing neighbourhood without paying for square footage they won’t use. The lot size offers flexibility for future additions or landscaping that many comparable newer homes lack.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value below the neighbourhood average?
The home’s interior is smaller than typical for West Kildonan Industrial, where many homes are 1,500+ square feet. Assessment is based partly on size and comparables, so a smaller home in that area naturally falls lower in value, even though it’s brand new.
2. Is the lot big enough to build a garage or an addition?
At 3,373 square feet, it’s the largest lot on the street and should accommodate a detached garage. Adding living space would depend on zoning setbacks, but the lot is above the street average by about 700 square feet, offering more flexibility than most nearby properties.
3. How does the living space compare to other new builds in the city?
At 1,213 square feet, it’s below the citywide average of 1,342 square feet, but many newer infill homes in established neighbourhoods also trend smaller. The trade-off is newer systems and finishes, which older, larger homes typically lack.
4. What’s the neighbourhood like for resale value?
The area ranks low by assessed value (85th percentile in the local area), which partly reflects older stock and a mix of industrial uses. However, being one of the newest homes in the vicinity could help it stand out to buyers who want modern without moving to a farther suburb.
5. Does “West Kildonan Industrial” mean it’s located in an industrial zone?
It refers to the statistical neighbourhood area, not necessarily the immediate streetscape. Properties on Sagitta Street are residential. Buyers should check the official zoning, but the name reflects broader district boundaries, not the character of the street itself.
