Who Arbor Creek Is a Great Fit For

Arbor Creek is a favourite with move-up buyers and established families who want a larger, relatively modern home on a quiet street with mature trees. Its location near the University of Saskatchewan also makes it popular with faculty and staff, and the short drive to University Heights shopping appeals to just about everyone.

Location and Commute

Arbor Creek sits in Saskatoon's northeast, with McOrmond Drive on its eastern edge and College Drive to the south. College Drive leads straight to the University of Saskatchewan and downtown, and Circle Drive is a few minutes away. Most drives to the university or downtown take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Schools Near Arbor Creek

Smaller greens such as Beckett Green and Budz Green add walking routes and play areas. The Erindale/Arbor Creek Community Association runs programs and events for both neighbourhoods. The Forestry Farm Park & Zoo, the SaskTel Sports Centre and the Meewasin trails along the river are all a short drive away.
