The Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's citywide benchmark of $444,700 reflects the whole market and not Fairhaven specifically, and because the neighbourhood sits close to Circle Drive South, residents generally reach the ring road faster than someone in a neighbourhood without that direct access.
Bridge traffic at peak hours is still the main variable for any Fairhaven trip that crosses the river, more than raw distance, since Saskatoon's river channels most cross-city trips onto a handful of crossings.
