From riverside parks to top-rated schools, these six neighbourhoods offer family-friendly living with access to Avenue Living Residential’s thoughtfully managed properties.
Nutana
First up is Nutana, one of Saskatoon’s most historic and beloved areas. Nestled along the South Saskatchewan River, Nutana offers tree-lined streets, beautiful character homes, and quick access to downtown via the Broadway Bridge.
Families love spending weekends along Meewasin Trail or picnicking in Rotary Park. With local schools like École Victoria nearby and just around the corner Broadway Avenue for all your café, boutique, and brunch needs, Nutana has the perfect mix of charm and convenience.

Just north of downtown, City Park blends the perks of city living with a calm, residential feel. This riverside neighbourhood is a favourite among families for its proximity to green spaces, like Kinsmen Park, and it’s walkable access to schools, downtown amenities, and the University of Saskatchewan.
