200 Atlas Crescent

Property Overview: 200 Atlas Crescent

Key Characteristics & Target Buyers

This 2019-built home on Atlas Crescent offers 1,475 square feet of living space on a 4,724-square-foot lot. Its most distinctive asset is its age: constructed in 2019, it places in the top 4% city-wide for newer construction, where the average home was built in 1966. This means modern building standards, likely better insulation and mechanicals, and less immediate maintenance than most Winnipeg homes.

The property sits in a curious middle ground on size and value. It's smaller than the street average (1,800 sqft) and assessed below the street average ($510k vs $438k), so it’s not the largest or most expensive house on its block. However, the lot is generous for the West Kildonan Industrial area (top 20% in the community), and the assessed value aligns closely with the community average, suggesting reasonable value for the neighbourhood.

The appeal here is practical: a nearly new home without the premium of being the biggest or flashiest on the street. It would suit a buyer who prioritizes a modern, efficient structure and doesn't need maximum square footage. Someone moving up from an older starter home, or downsizing from a larger property but wanting something recent and low-maintenance, would find this a solid fit. It’s less suited to buyers seeking a prestige address or maximum space for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value lower than the street average but higher than the city average?
The street has several larger, likely more expensive homes, pulling the local average up. At $438k, this property is below that street benchmark. City-wide, however, older and smaller homes bring the average down to $390k, so this property falls comfortably above that. It's priced more in line with the broader community than with its immediate street's top end.

2. The lot is 4,724 sqft. Is that considered small or large?
It depends on the comparison. On Atlas Crescent, it's close to the median—slightly smaller than the street's 5,254 sqft average. But within the West Kildonan Industrial community, it's well above average (top 20%), and city-wide it's slightly below the average of 6,570 sqft. So it's a typical suburban lot for newer infill areas but smaller than what you'd find in older, outer-ring neighbourhoods.

3. How does being built in 2019 compare to the neighbourhood?
The community itself is relatively new, with an average build year of 2021, so this home fits right in. The real advantage is compared to the city as a whole, where the average home is from 1966. Buyers coming from older Winnipeg homes will notice better energy efficiency, modern electrical and plumbing, and less need for immediate renovations.

4. Is the 1,475 sqft living space enough for a family?
It's a comfortable mid-range size. It's smaller than most houses on its own street but larger than the average Winnipeg home. It would work well for a couple, a small family, or empty-nesters. Buyers accustomed to 2,000+ sqft may find it compact, especially if they need dedicated office space or a large basement rec room.

5. What type of buyer would not be a good fit for this property?
Someone looking for the largest home on the block, or who wants a grand entrance and maximum square footage, should look elsewhere. Also, buyers expecting a sprawling yard for gardening or large dogs may find the lot underwhelming. This property is a practical, modern home without standout extremes—it's not trying to impress, it's trying to function well.
