69 Orion Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Target Buyer Profile
This 2021-built single-family home at 69 Orion Crescent provides 1,817 sq ft of living space on a 4,361 sq ft lot. Its assessed value is $599,000.
The property’s main appeal lies in two areas: home size and newness, both relative to the broader city. While the lot itself is just average by Winnipeg standards—ranking in the 69th percentile citywide—the house is notably larger than typical city homes (17th percentile citywide), and its construction year places it among the newest 2% of properties across Winnipeg. Locally, it sits comfortably above the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood average for both size and assessed value.
What stands out less obviously: the assessed value is high relative to the community (top 7%) and streetscape (top 18%), which suggests this property is an outlier in its immediate area—newer and larger than many neighbouring homes. For a buyer, this could mean more house than the street normally offers, but also a property whose tax assessment may carry a premium compared to nearby homes.
This home would suit buyers who want a recently built, move-in-ready property with generous interior space and who are comfortable with a typical suburban lot size. It's a good fit for a family or couple looking for a newer home without the lead time or uncertainty of building from scratch. Because it’s on Orion Crescent in West Kildonan Industrial, the location offers more established surroundings than a greenfield subdivision, but the home itself is brand-new relative to most of the city.
Possible FAQs
1. How does the property compare to others on Orion Crescent specifically?
It’s slightly above average on the street. It ranks 19th out of 107 homes for assessed value, and 48th for living area. The lot size (49th) and build year (19th) are also above the street average. It’s one of the newer, higher-value homes on the block.
2. Is the assessed value of $599,000 a reliable indicator of market price?
Assessed value is used for tax purposes and may not match current market conditions. However, given that it ranks in the top 8% citywide for assessed value and the home is newer and larger than average, you’d expect it to be priced above typical city homes. A local realtor would be the best source for a current market valuation.
3. How practical is a 4,361 sq ft lot for a family home?
That’s a moderate urban lot—close to the community average in West Kildonan Industrial, but smaller than the citywide average (6,570 sq ft). It’s workable for a yard, garden, or small playset, but won’t offer expansive outdoor space. For buyers used to newer suburbs with larger lots, it may feel slightly tighter.
4. Why is the build year ranking so high (top 2% citywide) when the house was only built in 2021?
Because Winnipeg’s housing stock has a much older average build year—around 1966 citywide. A 2021 home is among the newest in the city, so it ranks very high even though it's not brand new. The street and neighbourhood averages are also newer (2021), so it fits in locally.
5. Does a high relative assessed value mean the property stands out awkwardly in the neighbourhood?
Not necessarily—it’s still in the top quarter of homes on the street by value, so it’s noticeable but not extreme. What it does suggest is that the home offers above-average quality or size compared to immediate neighbours. That can be a positive for resale, but do expect property taxes to reflect the higher assessment.
