51 Mira Gate – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,327 sqft home, built in 2021, sits on a 1,918 sqft lot in the Mira Gate area of West Kildonan Industrial, Winnipeg. Its standout feature is the street itself: Mira Gate ranks #1 out of 29 homes in its immediate vicinity for living area (top 3%), and the home’s assessed value of $357k is above the street average of $346.3k. The property is also exceptionally new by citywide standards—ranked in the top 2% of Winnipeg homes for year built, compared to a citywide average of 1966.
However, the property’s strengths are highly localized. At the neighborhood and city levels, the home falls below average in land area (1,918 sqft vs. a neighborhood average of 3,839 sqft and a citywide average of 6,570 sqft) and below average in assessed value within West Kildonan Industrial. The living area, while strong on its street, is roughly on par with the citywide median.
The appeal here is about relative position, not absolute size. Buyers who value being on a top-ranked street within a specific pocket—where the home stands out among its immediate neighbours—will find this property attractive. It would suit someone looking for a newer, move-in-ready home that offers a strong sense of local prestige, and who is less concerned with having a large lot or competing with the broader neighbourhood’s higher-value properties. It’s a “best on the block” scenario rather than a “best in the area” one.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this property compare to others on Mira Gate specifically?
On its own street, the home ranks #1 in living area (top 3%) and #7 in assessed value (top 24%). It’s also newer than most on the street. This means it’s a standout within its immediate block, offering more square footage and a slightly higher value than the street average.
2. Why is the land area so small compared to the neighborhood and city?
The lot is 1,918 sqft, which is around average for Mira Gate but well below the West Kildonan Industrial average of 3,839 sqft and the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. This is typical for newer infill or compact-lot developments, where homes are built on smaller parcels closer to the street. If you prioritize yard space, this may feel tight.
3. Is the assessed value of $357k fair for this home?
On its street, the value is above average. In the broader neighborhood, it’s below average (top 81%), and citywide it’s roughly median (top 51%). The assessed value reflects the home’s newer construction and competitive local positioning, but not the larger lot sizes or higher-value homes found elsewhere in the area.
4. How does the 2021 build year benefit me compared to older Winnipeg homes?
Winnipeg’s citywide average year built is 1966, so this home is among the newest 2% of properties in the city. That typically means modern construction standards, more efficient systems (heating, windows, insulation), and less immediate need for major renovations. It’s a significant advantage for buyers who want a turnkey property.
5. What type of buyer would this home not suit?
It’s less ideal for someone who wants a large private lot, or who values being in a higher-value neighborhood overall. The land and assessed value rankings drop sharply beyond the street level, so if your priority is having one of the bigger yards or more valuable homes in West Kildonan Industrial or Winnipeg as a whole, this property won’t check those boxes.
