Because Silverspring sits on the city's northeast edge, it is farther from the downtown core than a central neighbourhood like Nutana or Varsity View, which is a tradeoff its buyers accept for a quieter, more established street.
Circle Drive and bridge traffic at peak hours matter more to a Silverspring commute than the straight-line distance, since the river channels most cross-town trips onto a limited number of crossings, regardless of the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's citywide benchmark of $444,700 for the neighbourhood.
