Key Characteristics
206 Orion Crescent is a 2021-built home with 1,853 square feet of living space on an 8,108-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $515,000.
The property stands out most for its land. It ranks in the top 5% on its street and top 2% within the West Kildonan Industrial community for lot size. The house itself is newer than nearly everything around it—built in 2021, it places in the top 2% citywide, where the average home was built in 1966. Living space is above average for the neighbourhood and city, though only slightly above the street average. The assessed value tracks closely with the street median but sits well above the community and city medians.
The appeal is in the combination of a modern home on an unusually large lot in an established area. Most homes nearby are older and sit on smaller parcels. This gives a buyer a newer build without the tighter lot that often comes with it. The property suits someone who wants a move-in-ready house with room for outdoor use, gardening, expansion, or simply more space between neighbours. It would also appeal to buyers who value newer construction and lower maintenance but want land that’s harder to find in a newer subdivision.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property compare to other homes on Orion Crescent?
It’s close to the street average for living space and assessed value. But it has one of the largest lots on the street (top 5%) and is among the newest homes there.
2. Is a 2021-built home considered new for this area?
Yes. Most homes in the community date to around 1966. Even on Orion Crescent, the average build year is 2021, so some neighbouring houses are the same age, but citywide this home is very new.
3. What would property taxes likely be?
Taxes are based on the assessed value of $515,000. The exact amount depends on the current mill rate, but this gives a reliable starting point for estimating annual taxes.
4. Is the large lot usable for anything specific?
At over 8,000 square feet, the lot is roughly 60% larger than the street average. It could accommodate a large garden, a shop or garage addition, or simply provides more privacy and outdoor space than typical infill or newer developments.
5. Who is this property not a good fit for?
It may not suit buyers looking for a compact, low-maintenance yard or a home in a brand-new subdivision with uniform lots. It also may not appeal to those wanting a smaller purchase price or lower assessment, as it’s above community and city averages on value.
