Rosetown Quick Facts

Who Rosetown Is a Great Fit For

Rosetown suits buyers who want affordable housing with full small-town services close at hand: families who want K–12 schools and recreation in town, retirees who value having a hospital and care homes locally, and people working in agriculture, trades or regional services in west-central Saskatchewan.

Location and Getting Around

Rosetown sits at the junction of Highway 7 and Highway 4, about 115 km southwest of Saskatoon, or roughly an hour and a quarter by road. Highway 7 links the town with Saskatoon, Kindersley and Calgary, while Highway 4 runs north toward the Battlefords and south toward Swift Current. Because of the distance, Rosetown is more of a self-contained regional centre than a Saskatoon commuter town.

Schools in Rosetown

Rosetown is home to the head office of Sun West School Division, which serves west-central Saskatchewan. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 attend Walter Aseltine School, and Grades 7 to 12 attend Rosetown Central High School. School boundaries and programs can change, so confirm details with the school division before you buy.

Parks, Recreation and Things to Do

Rosetown offers plenty to do for a town its size. The AGT Foods Centre arena hosts hockey, skating and events, and the Rosetown Leisure Aquatic Centre is an outdoor summer pool with a zero-depth entry and hot tub. The town sports grounds include ball diamonds, soccer pitches, a beach volleyball court, an outdoor rink and a riding arena, and there are tennis courts, a fitness centre, the Rose Walking Trail and the Wheatland Regional Library. Golfers can play the nine-hole Rosetown Golf & Country Club, about 6 km west of town, with grass greens and a licensed clubhouse, or the courses near Milden and Harris. Families also enjoy the 18-hole mini-golf course at the Rosetown Tourism Centre.

Shopping, Services and Healthcare

As a regional hub, Rosetown has grocery stores, restaurants, retail, banking, government offices and trades services for the surrounding district. Healthcare is a major strength: the Rosetown & District Health Centre on Highway 4 North is supported by medical clinics, a primary health centre and long-term care homes. The town also has its own RCMP detachment, fire department and EMS.

Local Economy and Jobs

Farming is the heart of Rosetown's economy, supported by agri-business, grain handling, manufacturing, oil and gas, and regional services such as health care, education and government.

Homes for Sale in Rosetown

Rosetown is a small market, so the number of active listings is usually limited.

Pros and Cons of Living in Rosetown

Pros: very affordable housing, a local hospital and clinics, K–12 schools, strong recreation facilities, and a friendly, established community.

Cons: it is over an hour from Saskatoon, so daily commuting is not practical for most people, and specialist care and major shopping mean a trip to the city.

A Bit of Rosetown History

The first settlers arrived around 1904 and 1905, and a post office opened in 1907 under the name Rosetown, in honour of James and Ann Rose, who came from England. With the arrival of the Canadian Northern Railway in 1908 and 1909, the townsite grew quickly, and Rosetown was incorporated as a town in 1910. The town won the provincial Communities in Bloom award in 2004.
