Parkridge Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Parkridge is exemplified by its calm environment. There are about 10 public green spaces close by for residents to explore, like Morris T. Cherneskey West and James Girgulis Park, and they are very well-spread out, which makes it easy to access them. This part of the city is also excellent for those who prefer quiet surroundings, as there are generally low levels of noise from traffic.

Transportation

Parkridge is very car friendly. It is convenient to park, and it is a reasonably short drive to the nearest highway from any location in this neighbourhood. On the other hand, the public transit access in this area is fairly poor. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is linked by around 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most properties. Travelling by bicycle is easy in this area since there are few elevation changes to challenge cyclists, and the cycling infrastructure is reasonably comprehensive. Parkridge is not particularly well-suited for people who like to get around as pedestrians as few day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle.

Housing

The predominant housing types in Parkridge are single detached homes and townhouses. This part of Saskatoon offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy about 70% of the properties in Parkridge and 30% are occupied by renters. Around one third of homes in this area were constructed between 1960 and 1980, while many of the remaining buildings were built in the 1980s and the 2000s.

Services

It is convenient to get to the nearest supermarket as a pedestrian from any location in Parkridge. Likewise, those who like to eat in restaurants will have a fair number of options, and residents can enjoy a few cafes as well. In terms of education, it is a very short distance to reach primary schools and daycares from anywhere in this part of the city. In contrast, high schools are not especially numerous and therefore tend to require a long walk to get to.
