Forest Grove

Found in Saskatoon's desirable northeast corner, Forest Grove is a family-friendly neighbourhood with a population of about 5,800 people. Offering a great location with easy access to just about anywhere in the city within a few minutes via Attridge Drive and Central Avenue, it is a popular choice for those searching for a Saskatoon home—especially with an affordable average home price of just over $282,000.

Forest Grove began to develop in the 1960s and its boundaries were originally set as 115th Street to the south, Forest Drive to the east, Central Avenue to the west, and undeveloped land to the north. This was the case well into the 1980s until this community was expanded to the north, with additional residential along Rossmo Road added and the boundaries extended to reach the new Attridge Drive arterial road. Also in the 1980s, new residential development south of 115th Street, east of what was then Nelson Avenue, and west of Berini Drive also occurred.

Present-day, this neighbourhood now also includes residential land that was owned and developed by the Canadian Pacific Railway when the settlement of Sutherland was established in 1909. Originally part of Sutherland, the land along Gray (formerly Railway) Avenue and south of 115th Street was transferred when the neighbourhood boundaries were redrawn in the 1990s. The remaining land on which this neighbourhood now sits was annexed between 1955 and 1959, and the majority of residential construction was done between 1970 and 1990 (although the streets north of 115th Street, east of Central Avenue and south of what is now Rossmo Road were on city street maps as early as 1961).

The housing stock is composed mostly of low-density, single-detached houses and multiple-unit apartment buildings. Forest Grove School was opened on October 15, 1983, partially on the site of the former Sutherland Park Drive-In theatre, and St. Volodymyr School opened on March 1, 1989.
