Evergreen is a residential neighbourhood under construction within the University Heights Suburban Development Area of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The residential area is constructed around the village centre and a larger district village.[1] The subdivision was created in 2010. Evergreen is projected to have a density of 8.6 units per acre, becoming one of the densest neighbourhoods in Saskatoon when complete.[2]
According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2013 was $454,661.[3]
Description
The Evergreen neighbourhood is planned to be built out in seven phases; once complete it is expected to:[4]
- 655 acres (including 42.12 acres of park land);
- 12,622 projected population;
- 5,712 units (2,021 single family units and 3,691 units).
The neighbourhood is named for two standard of Scots Pine that were 50-year-old and incorporated into the layout of the neighbourhood. These trees were originally part of the Sutherland Forest Nursery Station.
The community is separated from neighbouring developments to the south by greenbelts provided by University of Saskatchewan agricultural land holdings and the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo.
As is standard in most recently developed Saskatoon communities, street names consist of assorted named recognizing Saskatoon citizens, with main core roads using the name of the community.
The first residential lots were offered for sale by the City of Saskatoon in 2010.
Evergreen will be the first large scale installation of LED street lights by Saskatoon Light & Power.[5]
