Westview, Saskatoon

Westview is a suburban community in the Confederation Suburban Development Area (SDA) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Originally named "Tuxedo Park" by real estate developers in 1912, the area remained undeveloped until the 1960s.[1] The east half of Westview is located on land annexed by the city in 1911, while the western half did not become part of Saskatoon until 1960.

City of Saskatoon Neighbourhoods

The majority of development occurred in the 1970s and 1980s (although the neighbourhood, with the more-or-less current street layout, had appeared on city street maps as early as 1961). The neighbourhood was finally completed in the late 1990s. Located in what was at the time the northwest corner of the city, the neighbourhood was on the city's western edge, giving its residents a true "West view". Unlike its Eastview counterpart, all street names don't begin with the word "West". The population of Westview was 3,441 in 2006.

The community was originally identified as Westview Heights, but the second word was dropped from the official community name in the 1980s.

The Westview neighbourhood is bounded to the north by 37th Street, Circle Drive on the east and Junor Avenue on the west and 33rd Street to the south.

Demographics edit

The population of Westview was 3,441 in 2006, with an average family income of $54,374. The average household size is 2.8 residents, and approximately 60.8% of the residents own their own home.[2] According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2013 was $316,200.[3]

In Saskatoon's non-partisan municipal politics, Westview lies within ward 4. It is currently represented by Troy Davies, first elected in 2012.[6]

Caroline Robins School nestles into the west end of Dr. Seager Wheeler Park. Senator James Gladstone Park divides in the south and east edges along Glenwood Avenue while Sen. J. Hnatyshyn Park lies at the corner of Catherwood Avenue and Richardson Road. Unlike Eastview, the streets in the neighbourhood with exception of Avenues W & Y and 33rd & 37th Streets are named after prominent figures in Saskatoon's history. The majority of the neighbourhood is laid out in the crescent system as the city was beginning to shy away from the grid layout. The northwest corner of the neighbourhood which saw the construction of Lewis Crescent, Peterson Crescent, Court and Terrace along with the 37th Street extension from west of Byers Crescent to Junor Avenue took place between 1996 and 1999.
