Caswell Hill

Living in Caswell Hill, Saskatoon

Caswell Hill is one of Saskatoon's oldest and most character-filled neighbourhoods, sitting just northwest of downtown between the core and the shops of 33rd Street West. It takes its name from Robert Caswell, an early homesteader with the Temperance Colony, and the area was once known as the Ashworth-Holmes district, often called Saskatoon's first suburb. Today it is a diverse, close-knit community of century-old character homes, wartime houses and modern infill on a classic grid of numbered streets and lettered avenues.
