Riversdale has experienced an economic and development boom since 2012 and has even been called Canada’s Next Great Neighbourhood.[1][2][3][4] However, the neighbourhood is still considered a lower-income area, with (based on the 2006 Canadian Census) an estimated average family income of $35,849, an estimated average dwelling value of $120,835 and an estimated home ownership rate of 36.0%[5] According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2013 was $224,807.[6]
Incorporated as a town in 1905, Riversdale was one of the three original settlements that merged to form the city of Saskatoon in 1906.[7]
