Based on homes currently for sale, updated automatically from the MLS® System.
Adelaide/Churchill is an established, mostly residential neighbourhood in south-central Saskatoon, part of the Nutana Suburban Development Area. It began as two separate subdivisions, Churchill to the north and Adelaide Park to the south, with Ruth Street as the dividing line, and the two were combined into one neighbourhood when the City redrew its boundaries in the 1990s. Mature trees, larger lots, three parks and two elementary schools make it a quiet, family-friendly pocket close to Broadway, the University and Circle Drive.

Adelaide/Churchill suits young families who want both elementary schools and a high school within walking distance, University of Saskatchewan staff and students who want a short commute, and buyers who prefer a mature neighbourhood with established trees and bigger yards over new construction. It is also a good fit for downsizers who want a bungalow close to Broadway and the river without paying core-neighbourhood prices.
Clarence Avenue runs along the west edge and leads straight north toward Broadway, downtown and the University of Saskatchewan. Circle Drive forms the south boundary, so the rest of the city, including the east-side shopping districts and the airport, is a quick drive away. Cumberland Avenue and Taylor Street provide easy east-west and north-south connections, and Saskatoon Transit serves the area.
The neighbourhood has two elementary schools: Hugh Cairns V.C. School (Saskatoon Public Schools) on Cairns Avenue and St. Philip School (Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools). For high school, Aden Bowman Collegiate sits right across the street from the neighbourhood's northwest corner, and Holy Cross High School is a short trip east. School assignments can change, so confirm details with the school division before you buy.
Three city parks serve the area. Churchill Park, the largest at about 13 acres, is off Wilson Crescent and Haultain Avenue; Adelaide Park sits beside Hugh Cairns V.C. School; and Meadowlark Park is tucked off Calder Crescent. The Meewasin riverbank trails, Broadway's restaurants and shops, and the University grounds are all a short drive or bike ride away. The Adelaide/Churchill Community Association runs local programs and events.
The neighbourhood's own Churchill Shopping Centre covers the basics, with a grocery store, convenience shopping, food and personal services. The 8th Street East commercial corridor, Market Mall and the Broadway district are all within a few minutes.
Most homes were built between the late 1940s and the 1970s. In the north (Churchill) section you will find a traditional grid of streets with post-war bungalows and character homes, while the south (Adelaide) section has crescents and courts with 1960s and 1970s bungalows, split-levels and two-storeys. There are also some condos and townhomes. Many homes sit on generous lots, and renovated properties appear regularly. Browse the price ranges above to narrow your search, or use the full MLS® search to set your own criteria.
Pros: two elementary schools in the neighbourhood and a high school next door, mature trees and larger lots, an in-neighbourhood grocery store, and a short commute to Broadway, downtown and the University.
Cons: many homes are 50 years old or more and may need updates, and homes along the south edge are close to Circle Drive traffic.
