Avalon

Living in Avalon, Saskatoon

Avalon is a mostly residential neighbourhood in south-central Saskatoon, part of the Nutana Suburban Development Area. Although the land was annexed by the city between 1910 and 1919, home building did not begin until after the Second World War, which gives Avalon its classic mix of post-war bungalows on a grid in the north and quieter crescents and cul-de-sacs in the south. Broadway Avenue runs right through the neighbourhood and ends here, so the Broadway district, the river and downtown are only minutes away. If you are searching for Avalon homes for sale, the listings above are pulled live from the MLS® and updated regularly.

Location and Commute

Broadway Avenue leads straight north to the Broadway district and the Broadway Bridge into downtown, and Clarence Avenue offers a direct route toward the University of Saskatchewan. Circle Drive along the south edge connects quickly to the rest of the city, including Stonebridge, the east side and the airport. Saskatoon Transit runs through the neighbourhood.

School assignments, programs and busing can change, so confirm details for a specific address with the school division before you buy.
