Rosewood

Highly desirable and relatively new, Rosewood is a growing neighbourhood located in the southeast corner of Saskatoon. Offering a balanced supply of different housing styles to suit any homebuyer’s needs, it is currently home to a population of about 6,100 people, with an average home price of just over $462,000.

The land where this neighbourhood exists was annexed between 1980 and 1984. It was considered challenging to develop - the area is dotted with sloughs and has a high water table. The majority of the wetlands were drained and filled with a single large wetland complex modified and used for drainage, eliminating the need for some storm sewer mains. Servicing of the land began in 2008, and home construction in the first phase of the community was underway in the summer of 2009.

The southwest corner of the community will consist of a commercial hub and multi-family dwellings, while a village square with businesses, parks and multi-family dwellings is planned for the centre of the neighbourhood. Housing will consist of 2731 single-unit dwellings and 1760 multi-unit condominium, townhouse and apartment dwellings. Between 2022 and 2025, Rosewood will reach completion and have an estimated population exceeding 12,000.

Major access roads carry the Rosewood name, but street names assigned thus far by the city such as Ledingham, Rochelle, and Hastings, show no set pattern, other than to honour notable Saskatonians.
