Buena Vista

Living in Buena Vista, Saskatoon

Buena Vista is one of Saskatoon's oldest and most charming neighbourhoods, sitting under a canopy of mature elms between 8th Street and Taylor Street, just west of Broadway Avenue and along the South Saskatchewan River. It was already inside city limits when Saskatoon incorporated in 1906, and its character homes, riverbank parks and walkable streets make it one of the most sought-after addresses near Broadway. If you are searching for Buena Vista homes for sale, the listings above are pulled live from the MLS® and updated regularly.

Buena Vista Quick Facts

Who Buena Vista Is a Great Fit For

Buena Vista appeals to buyers who want character, walkability and the river at their doorstep: young professionals, families who like the idea of walking to school and to Broadway, and anyone who values a mature, tree-lined street over a newer suburb. It is also popular with buyers looking to build modern infill on an established lot.

Location and Commute

Broadway Avenue's restaurants, cafes and shops are a short walk away, and the Broadway Bridge leads straight into downtown. Clarence Avenue and 8th Street connect east to the University and the rest of the east side, and Idylwyld Drive and Circle Drive are close for trips across the city. Most of Saskatoon is within about 15 minutes.

Schools Near Buena Vista

Buena Vista School (Saskatoon Public Schools) is a neighbourhood landmark, designed in the Collegiate Gothic style by architect David Webster, who also designed several of Saskatoon's other historic schools. Aden Bowman Collegiate and other high school options are nearby, and Catholic students attend schools in surrounding neighbourhoods. School assignments can change, so confirm details with the school division before you buy.

Parks, River and Things to Do

Buena Vista Park, developed in 1911 and 1912, sits at the heart of the neighbourhood and is home to the Nutana Lawn Bowling Club. Gabriel Dumont Park stretches along the riverbank with Meewasin trails, and Kilburn Park is the practice field for the Saskatoon Hilltops junior football team. The community association maintains an outdoor rink and playground at the school.

Shopping and Services

The Broadway district provides groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, the Broadway Theatre and the summer Broadway festivals, all within walking distance. The 8th Street corridor adds more shopping and services.
