North Battleford

The 7th largest city in the province, North Battleford is the Saskatchewan city making up the larger half of the two communities known, together, as “The Battlefords.” Though many indigenous peoples have called the area home for thousands of years, its first iterations as a town-like settlement took place in the late 18th century by French fur traders. It has since developed into a growing community of about 13,836 people, with a very affordable average home price of just over $198,500.
Though it is located just over an hour’s drive from the city of Saskatoon, North Battleford offers all the essential amenities. Residents can find groceries, gas, restaurants, shopping, and more all within city limits, as well as medical care, personal services, and over 15 schools. It also features a number of sports and recreational facilities, including the North Battleford Access Communications Centre and North Battleford CUplex, which includes a curling centre, field house, aquatic centre, and the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts.
