Aspen Ridge

Living in Aspen Ridge, Saskatoon

Aspen Ridge is one of Saskatoon's newest northeast neighbourhoods, with home building starting in the mid-2010s. It was planned as a complete "urban village," with a mix of housing, linear parks and trails, and a commercial district along McOrmond Drive. Its standout feature is its setting: Aspen Ridge borders the Northeast Swale, a large natural prairie grassland inside city limits.

Aspen Ridge Quick Facts

Who Aspen Ridge Is a Great Fit For

Aspen Ridge suits buyers who want a brand-new or nearly new home, outdoor space and quick access to both the east side and the north-end employment district. It is popular with young families, first-time buyers and anyone who works in the north industrial area, thanks to the direct route across the Chief Mistawasis Bridge.

Location and Commute

McOrmond Drive runs through Aspen Ridge, with cycle tracks, landscaped boulevards and wide sidewalks. To the north, the Chief Mistawasis Bridge crosses the river to the north end and connects toward Highway 11. To the south, McOrmond leads to the commercial district, Evergreen, University Heights, Attridge Drive and College Drive. Most drives downtown or to the University of Saskatchewan take roughly 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic.

Schools in Aspen Ridge

Aspen Ridge does not have its own school yet. In July 2025 the Government of Saskatchewan began design work on a joint-use Kindergarten to Grade 8 school next to the future Aspen Ridge core park, shared by Saskatoon Public Schools and Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools. Until it opens, the nearest elementary schools are Sylvia Fedoruk School and St. Nicholas Catholic School in neighbouring Evergreen. Saskatoon Public Schools lists Sylvia Fedoruk School as restricted to students living in its area, so check eligibility for a specific address. Nearby high schools include Centennial Collegiate and St. Joseph High School in the University Heights area. School assignments, busing and timelines can change, so confirm details with the school divisions before you buy.

Parks, Trails and Nature

Nature is at Aspen Ridge's doorstep. The Northeast Swale, a protected native grassland that supports rare plants and more than 100 bird species, runs along the edge of the neighbourhood, with a transitional greenway between the homes and the swale. niwāhkōmākanak Park, a linear park and trail, runs the length of Aspen Ridge, and Stryjek Park adds another tree-lined pathway. A village square and core park are in design, and the Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is a short drive away.

Shopping and Services

A commercial district is growing along McOrmond Drive on the south side of Aspen Ridge, and Evergreen Crossing nearby adds more everyday amenities. The University Heights Suburban Centre, a few minutes south, has grocery stores, restaurants, banks, gas stations and more.
