That tradeoff runs the other way too: a shorter commute in an established neighbourhood usually means an older home, while a newer suburb further from the bridges usually means a longer drive in exchange for a newer build and a larger lot.
Traffic volume in Saskatoon's bridges has grown as the city has expanded over the past 10 to 15 years, so a commute that was easy a decade ago from a given neighbourhood is not guaranteed to stay that way as growth continues.
The right neighbourhood for a commuter depends on which crossing leads to that specific workplace, not a citywide ranking. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
