236 Atlas Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2019-built home with 1,496 square feet of living space on a 4,725-square-foot lot, assessed at $470,000. Its standout feature is its age: built in 2019, it ranks in the top 4% citywide for newer construction in a market where the average home was built in 1966. The living area is slightly below the street average (1,800 sqft) but above the citywide average (1,342 sqft), making it a middle-of-the-pack size for its immediate neighbours but a good-size home relative to the broader city. The assessed value sits above the neighbourhood and citywide averages, suggesting solid value retention without being the most expensive house on the block.
The appeal here is balance. You get a nearly-new home without the premium of a brand-new build, on a lot that’s larger than most in the West Kildonan Industrial area (top 18% for land area in the neighbourhood). The street itself has homes averaging 5,254 square feet of land, so this lot is a bit smaller than its direct neighbours but still generous compared to the area.
This property would suit buyers who want a low-maintenance, recently built home in an established neighbourhood—people who prefer not to deal with major renovations or an older footprint, but who still want a decent-sized yard. It’s less ideal for someone seeking maximum square footage or a prestige street address, as the living area ranks low on Atlas Crescent. It’s a practical choice for a family or couple who values newer construction and a manageable lot over bragging rights on square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
On Atlas Crescent, this home’s 1,496 square feet puts it in the bottom 10% of the street—most neighbours have around 1,800 square feet. However, it’s above the citywide average (1,342 sqft) and close to the neighbourhood average of 1,591 sqft, so it’s not a small home by Winnipeg standards—just smaller than what’s typical on this particular street.
2. Is the assessed value of $470,000 high for what you get?
It’s around average for Atlas Crescent, where the typical assessed value is $509,600. Compared to the wider West Kildonan Industrial area ($442,900 average) and Winnipeg ($390,100 average), it’s above both. The value reflects the newer construction and the larger lot by neighbourhood standards, rather than the living area.
3. Why is the lot size considered a strength if it’s smaller than the street average?
The street average on Atlas Crescent is 5,254 square feet, so this lot (4,725 sqft) is below that. But in the broader West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood, most lots are only 3,839 square feet. So while it’s not the biggest yard on the block, it’s significantly larger than what’s typical in the surrounding area. That gives you more outdoor space than most nearby homes, without the maintenance of a full acre.
4. How does a 2019 build compare to other homes in Winnipeg?
The citywide average year built is 1966, so this home is roughly 55 years newer than the typical Winnipeg house. Even within the neighbourhood, the average is 2021, meaning this home is only a couple years older than many newer infills. For a buyer who wants modern construction—better insulation, updated electrical, no knob-and-tube wiring—this is a rare find at this price point.
5. Is the ranking system used here reliable for comparing homes?
The rankings compare this property to “comparable homes” within each scope (street, neighbourhood, city), using a median benchmark rather than a strict average. The “top X%” means it outperforms that percentage of similar homes—for example, top 4% for year built means it’s newer than 96% of citywide comparables. It’s a useful relative measure, but keep in mind that “comparable homes” are defined by the assessment system, not a personalized search.
