Stonebridge is one of Saskatoon’s newest communities. It is located in the Southern end of Saskatoon, South of Highway 11 (Circle Dr). Construction of Stonebridge began in 2005, including the Stonegate Shopping Centre. The community is growing at an extremely rapid pace and is currently expected to be finished several years ahead of schedule. An overpass at Preston Ave and Circle Drive is set to be constructed in 2011 and finished in 2012. This, in addition to the one already constructed at Clarence Ave and Circle Drive, will provide quick and easy access in and out of the neighbourhood.
One of the more alluring aspects of Stonebridge that I find is that since it resides on the opposite side of Circle Drive from the rest of the city, it has a sense of seclusion that other neighbourhoods may not have. It is becoming increasingly self-sufficient thanks to the shopping centres already here and constantly being constructed, including a Co-Op grocery, Dairy Queen, and various other amenities.
I enjoy living here because it is a quiet community, with friendly people and a great Community Association (http://www.ourstonebridge.ca/) that hold meetings at the Circle Drive Alliance Church on the second Wednesday of every month. There is no shortage of parks and walkways for an evening stroll or to walk your pet.
Stonebridge is a great community for any age group, With a lot to look forward to in the coming years. If you’re looking for a great place to live, take a drive to Stonebridge.
