Riversdale

Living in Riversdale, Saskatoon

Riversdale is one of Saskatoon's original historic neighbourhoods, located just west of downtown along the South Saskatchewan River. It was a separate town before joining Nutana and Saskatoon to form the City of Saskatoon in 1906, and its historic main street, 20th Street West, has become one of the city's most interesting places to eat, shop and gather. With River Landing, the river valley trails and downtown all within walking distance, Riversdale offers true urban living at a price point well below most central neighbourhoods.

Riversdale Quick Facts

Who Riversdale Is a Great Fit For

Riversdale appeals to first-time buyers and young professionals who want a walkable, central location on a budget, investors and renovators looking for revenue or infill opportunities, and condo buyers who want to be steps from the river and downtown.

Location and Commute

Downtown is just across Idylwyld Drive, so many residents walk or bike to work. 20th and 22nd Street West carry frequent transit, the Idylwyld Freeway and Circle Drive are close for trips across the city, and the University is a short drive over the river.

Schools for Riversdale

Riversdale doesn't have its own elementary school. Saskatoon Public Schools designates King George Community School in neighbouring King George for Riversdale students and provides busing, and Catholic schools are nearby in Pleasant Hill and Holiday Park. See the elementary schools section below for details, and confirm current designations with each school division before you buy.

Parks and Things to Do

River Landing, the Remai Modern art gallery, Persephone Theatre and the Saskatoon Farmers' Market are all on the neighbourhood's doorstep, along with the Meewasin Trail along the riverbank. 20th Street West is known for its independent restaurants, cafes, bakeries and shops.

Shopping and Services

Everyday groceries, pharmacies and services line 20th and 22nd Street West, and downtown's full range of shopping, dining and entertainment is a short walk away.
