98 Orion Crescent – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2021-built home with 1,651 sq ft of living space on a notably large 7,265 sq ft lot. Relative to others on Orion Crescent, the living area sits close to the street average, while the lot size ranks in the top 10%, well above the typical 4,976 sq ft for the street. At the city level, the home is newer than 98% of properties in Winnipeg (average construction year is 1966), and its assessed value of $486,000 tracks above both the community and city averages.
The appeal here is less about standout square footage and more about the land and age. A newer home on an oversized lot within an established neighbourhood is relatively uncommon, especially in West Kildonan Industrial. Buyers who value a large outdoor space without sacrificing a modern build will find the combination practical. It would suit families or anyone looking for room to garden, add a workshop, or simply avoid the tighter lots common in newer subdivisions. It may also appeal to those who want a low-maintenance newer home but prefer an older, more mature street setting rather than a brand-new development area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
On Orion Crescent, the 1,651 sq ft is slightly below the street average of 1,812 sq ft, putting it in the middle of the pack. In the broader West Kildonan Industrial area and across Winnipeg, it is above average.
2. Is the lot genuinely large, or does it just feel that way?
It is genuinely large. The lot ranks in the top 10% on the street, top 5% in the community, and top 15% citywide. The average lot in the neighbourhood is roughly half the size at 3,839 sq ft.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the community average but not the street average?
The street includes a mix of older and newer homes, with an average assessed value of $522,000. This property sits slightly below that, likely reflecting its living area relative to some larger homes on the street. However, its newer construction and larger lot push it above the community average of $443,000.
4. Is the home still under warranty or relatively new in terms of systems?
Built in 2021, the home is roughly three years old as of writing. Most major systems—roof, HVAC, windows, foundation—should still be in good shape, and any remaining Manitoba new home warranty coverage may still apply depending on the builder and specific terms.
5. How does the neighbourhood feel in terms of development and amenities?
West Kildonan Industrial is primarily residential with a mix of older bungalows and newer infill builds. It offers good access to parks, schools, and major routes like Henderson Highway and Chief Peguis Trail. It is not a dense urban area, so expect a quieter suburban feel with more mature trees compared to newer developments further out.
