Why is Lakeridge a strong neighbourhood for multi-family homes?

Whether Lakeridge suits a multi-family purchase depends on the same things that decide it anywhere in Saskatoon: price against the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's citywide benchmark of $444,700, whether any suite on the lot is permitted through the City of Saskatoon, and what a specific property's rent roll actually supports.

Lakeridge was largely built out through the 1970s and 1980s with larger family homes on established streets, and that lot and house size can suit a legal secondary suite conversion better than a smaller, newer lot does, but the permit status still has to be confirmed property by property.

A permitted suite adds real, lendable income, while an unpermitted one adds close to nothing to a lender's or appraiser's number, so the neighbourhood's older housing stock is only an advantage once that paperwork is checked rather than assumed.
