The north side of Saskatoon is a gorgeous area of the city combining quaint historical homes with charming architecture and large bungalow style homes in cozy crescents. North end residents have quick access to the highway for cabin getaways at the lake and a short commute to downtown Saskatoon for shopping and the exploding food scene setting Saskatoon in the ranks of renowned culinary competitions like Top Chef Canada and Iron Chef Gauntlet. The north side is a phenomenal blend of commercial development, residential living and the scenic natural landscape of Spadina Crescent that runs along the riverbanks.
