What the numbers mean

Owners valued the median home at $384K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Saskatoon MLS® Home Price Index (+26% since then), that is about $484K, close to the Saskatoon median of $484K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
75% of households rent, well above the 33% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
Only 5% of residents are under 15, versus 19% city-wide.
30% of residents are 20 to 34, versus 22% city-wide. It skews young-professional.
32% are 65 or older, versus 15% city-wide, a sign of long-time residents and a settled pace.
98% of homes are apartments (26% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.

How it's changing

These municipalities don't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.

Safety

Neighbourhood-level crime figures aren't available for Saskatoon. Policing there is by the RCMP or a municipal police department, and neither publishes open crime counts by neighbourhood. Check Statistics Canada's crime tables for municipality-wide trends, and the local police website for crime maps. Why this is missing.
