30 Ara Way – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a newly built home (2024) in Winnipeg’s West Kildonan Industrial area, with 1,498 square feet of living space on a 4,250-square-foot lot. Its assessed value of $510,000 is above the neighbourhood and city averages, which reflects the premium typically attached to new construction in an area where most homes date from the 1960s or earlier.
The property’s main appeal is its newness. Citywide, it ranks in the top 1% by year built—meaning few other homes in Winnipeg are newer. The living area is slightly below the street average but still above the citywide median, which suggests a practical floorplan rather than an oversized one. The lot size is close to the street average but smaller than the typical Winnipeg lot, so outdoor space is modest.
This home would suit buyers who prioritize a move-in-ready, low-maintenance property with modern finishes, and who are less concerned with a large yard. It’s a strong fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone wanting to avoid renovation work. The location in West Kildonan Industrial is more residential than industrial in character, but buyers should be comfortable with a neighbourhood that’s still in transition—some nearby properties are older, and the area may not have the established feel of more mature suburbs.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the living area compare to similar homes in the area?
At 1,498 sqft, the living area is below the street average of 1,741 sqft but above the citywide average of 1,342 sqft. It’s a middle-of-the-road size for a new home—not cramped, but not oversized either.
2. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighbourhood average?
The assessed value is $510,000, which is about 15% above the West Kildonan Industrial average of $442,900. This mainly reflects the fact that the home was built in 2024, while many surrounding houses are decades older. New construction typically appraises higher due to updated systems, materials, and energy efficiency.
3. Is this a large lot compared to others in Winnipeg?
No. The lot is 4,250 sqft, which is around average for the street and neighbourhood but well below the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. Winnipeg has many older homes on generous lots, so this property offers less outdoor space than what’s typical for the city as a whole.
4. What does “ranked 1st on the street by year built” actually mean?
It means this is the newest home on Ara Way. The street has 15 comparable homes, and all others were built earlier—likely much earlier, given the area’s housing stock. Being ranked 1st is a clear indicator that you’d own the most modern property on the block.
5. How does this property compare to others in the neighbourhood map analysis?
The neighbourhood analysis page (linked on the listing) lets you compare this home side-by-side with nearby houses on year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size. That tool can give a clearer sense of how this property fits into the immediate streetscape—helpful for understanding what you’re actually getting relative to your future neighbours.
