Saskatoon Neighbourhood Guide
Nutana
Saskatoon’s original neighbourhood: Broadway Avenue, river trails and character homes.
Based on homes currently for sale, updated automatically from the MLS® System.
Nutana is where Saskatoon began. The original Temperance Colony settled here on the east bank of the South Saskatchewan River in 1883, it incorporated as the village of Nutana in 1903, and it joined the new City of Saskatoon in 1906. Today it is one of the city's most desirable central neighbourhoods, home to the shops, cafes, restaurants and festivals of Broadway Avenue, the historic Broadway Theatre, the Meewasin riverbank trails and a mix of character homes and condos. If you are searching for Nutana homes for sale, the listings above are pulled live from the MLS® and updated regularly.

Nutana suits buyers who want a walkable, urban lifestyle with restaurants, coffee shops and entertainment on their doorstep, professionals who want a short commute downtown or to the University, and anyone drawn to character homes and riverside trails.
The Broadway Bridge and the Traffic Bridge connect Nutana directly to downtown, and the University of Saskatchewan is a short trip north. Several Saskatoon Transit routes run along Broadway Avenue and Main Street, and many residents walk or cycle for daily trips.
École Victoria (Saskatoon Public Schools), a heritage building on Broadway, is a French Immersion-only elementary school for Kindergarten to Grade 8. English-program elementary schools are in surrounding neighbourhoods. Nutana Collegiate, Saskatoon's first public high school, and Oskāyak High School, a Catholic associate high school, are also in the neighbourhood. School assignments and programs can change, so confirm details for a specific address with the school division before you buy.
The Meewasin Trail and riverbank parks run along the neighbourhood's west edge with views across to downtown. Broadway Avenue hosts the Saskatoon Fringe Festival each summer, along with year-round events, galleries and live performances at the Broadway Theatre.
Broadway Avenue is one of Saskatoon's most popular shopping and dining streets, with independent boutiques, cafes, restaurants, bakeries and services, and the 8th Street East corridor and downtown are only minutes away.
Nutana offers some of the city's oldest homes, including early 1900s character houses, alongside post-war homes, modern infill, townhouses and a wide range of apartment-style condos. Riverbank and Saskatchewan Crescent homes are among the most prestigious in Saskatoon, while condos offer a more affordable way into the area. Browse the price ranges above to narrow your search, or use the full MLS® search to set your own criteria.
Pros: highly walkable, Broadway shopping and dining, riverbank trails, quick access to downtown and the University, and a strong sense of history and character.
Cons: older homes may need significant updates, lots can be small, parking can be limited near Broadway, and festival and nightlife traffic can be busy.
