What Kensington homes are doing
the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association publishes its benchmark for Saskatoon as a whole rather than street by street, so the honest answer for Kensington is the city benchmark of $444,700 plus what a walk-through of the specific home changes. Joel prices from sold comparables on the block, not from a neighbourhood average.
What is Kensington actually like to sell in?
Kensington is the first neighbourhood in the City of Saskatoon's Blairmore sector, west of Confederation Park and Pacific Heights and north of 22nd Street West. The City's concept plan projects about 8,300 residents at full build-out, with housing split close to evenly between single-unit homes (49 percent) and multi-unit homes (51 percent), so buyers can choose between condominiums, townhouses, apartments and detached houses in the same area. Kensington Boulevard runs north to south through the neighbourhood, with routes out to 22nd Street, 33rd Street, downtown and the North Industrial area. Parks are a big part of the plan: Kensington Village Square in Denis Mahoney Park has a pump track and a public plaza that becomes a winter skating rink, and more parks and storm pond pathways are still being built. Because Kensington is still being completed, resale homes here compete with new builds, which matters when pricing.
