I’ve lived in Riversdale for the past 3 years, and honestly I’ve had almost no problem at all. There’s a former Sask Premiere a few houses down, my neighbour is a publisher, his wife is a curator of a Saskatchewan Art Gallery, my other neighbour is a helpful fellow who takes out my garbage when I forget, and that’s just within a few houses of mine. People in the area are quiet and friendly and while I can understand why people are hesitant at first because it is in transition, you seriously can’t find housing this affordable, close to walking distance downtown, right beside the most scenic park in Saskatchewan, a few blocks from the farmers market, etc. anywhere else in Saskatoon. Even Broadway is only a 15 min walk away.

Good luck in your real estate ventures and hopefully I’ll call you neighbour soon!
