Top 5 BEST Places to Live in Saskatchewan

[@holyspiritdriven4206]

I moved from B.C. to Yorkton a year and a half ago and I really enjoy the small town vibe here. It has all the stores that I need and the housing is definitely affordable! I especially like the fact that I don’t see street people camped out in the front of businesses and lining the sidewalks and parks.

[@richardanan]

Yorkton is very nice indeed, and its future is good. Industry is expanding there. That will bring in and maintain all thee other good things that flow from that essential building block of society

[@SuperReznative]

Just because you don't,see them..doesn't mean there are homeless hardships, drugs & hidden crime ..it seem quiet and nice ,but that's because of the heritage and culture by hardworking agricultural generations,Read the names on the cenataffs entire families lost loved ones who fought for Freedom, which this generation takes for- as we lose our freedoms and rights.granted

The communities in Saskatoon I recommend are in the southeast part of the city. Adelaide-Churchill, Eastview and Lakeview. While they are not as trouble free as they were in the past, they are still very desirable to raise a family.

[@ruckfuzzia247]

Suburban Warman or Martensville are excellent choices

[@barryslocombe2920]

Immigrated from the UK in 1951 and lived Lloydminster from '52 to '56, had to cross the border everyday to go to school -40 in the Winter. The school yard had two schools on it and a third building, which was a barn for the kids that rode their horses to school. I have lived in Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver, for the past 25 years, all of whom have great attributes, but my Saskatchewan will always be in my heart.

[@limitles4758]

Saskatoon is #1 for me and I'm from Regina. I recently lived a full year right downtown with buses as my only transportation. The disparity in wealth and all that involves is obvious but you are under no threat walking the streets at anytime. Saskatoon is beautiful and it is very well managed

Weyburn would definitely be a good choice. I personally like anything north of the Saskatchewan river. If it's going to be cold, it might as well be pretty!

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Lots of nice places in southern Saskatchewan. The Cypress Hills are probably the most beautiful part of Saskatchewan and the surrounding area has cropland, prairie grassland with sage and cactus, and in places are badlands and buttes that look amazing. And southeastern Saskatchewan (like around Moosomin) is in the aspen parkland region with a lot of groves of poplars and Moose Mountain is near there. Amazing what you’ll find if you don’t travel only on Highway 1.

Because is more than a bit quiet here and there is no public transportation, I am considering a move to some place bigger. My destination in a year or two will probably be either Regina, Moose Jaw or Swift Current. I want to stay near the Trans-Canada Highway 1.

The split between the haves and the have nots in Saskatchewan is whether you can afford your own vehicle or have to take public transit. Saskatchewan is famous for having low wages...unless you're on the public teat, working for municipal , provincial or federal gov't, where being a janitor would pay more than working three part time jobs. You gotta get on the teat!

Yeah Estavan is pretty sweet, along with Weyburn, they are fairly close. I grew up in the Niagara Peninsula, and just moved to south eastern sask. To a place just north of weyburn and Estevan, called stockholm, and there is another nice little place down the road called esterhazy. Plus the qu'appelle valley, one of the most pretty places in the country, is just between all 4 of those towns. Makes the drive very enjoyable going through the valleys and hills and seeing the lakes and rivers along highways 8 and 9.

I live in Moosejaw ,Initially I was impressed but have watched the city deteriorate over the last 25 years. I can only describe city management as one of contempt! WE have 3rd world pavement that is constantly dug up and then eventually covered over with some random plops of cold fill. Repairs get left for months and even years! There is no thought to evaluate economically or practically ...paint street lines in October, paving before digging, whole areas of town where you cant read the street signs because the letters have fallen off. And the daily frustration of the traffic lights that are arranged by someone who must hate us! I could go on but the suspicion is that money is going somewhere it shouldn't go!

Thanks for the video. I just turned 60, live in Switzerland and am starting to think about where I can spend my retirement. The cost of living here in Switzerland is so extremely high that I will not be able to afford to live here beyond retirement. That is why I am now looking for alternatives. I'm a small-town person, have lived in small towns or villages all my life. But I don't want to live somewhere far away from everything either. There should be shopping facilities nearby, but I don't like big cities. So maybe such small towns are an alternative for me. But I am still at the beginning and collect information little by little.

[@MrMoose-mf1oy]

BC, Alberta (some parts), Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Novascotia are Canada’s nicest provinces. Consider those over Manitoba or Saskatchewan. Sure it might be cheaper to live there, but it’s boring, flat and cold

[@jb-vz4wb]

BC has the warmest weather, beautiful mountains and divwrse scenery. There is affordable real estate far away from the major centers, a con to moving there would be very high taxes. Also another con is full of annoying stoners 😂. Alberta has the lowest taxes, affordable the farther you get away from Calgary usually, some parts of the province have warmer than normal winter weather (read about chinooks). Saskatchewan is full of friendly people, cheap rural housing, nice scenery and outdoors depending on where you live. The maritime provinces are good too, friendly people, but I heard they have a humid kind of cold, in the western provinces it is generally dryer, so you dont have the same feeling of extreme heat or cold.

[@92Begbie]

All those communities are similar in cost and all have opportunities for a tradesman or practicing professional to get set up in a business. what may sway that person to choose a community may hinge on opportunities for the spouse, education opportunities for their kids (1st year college), or recreation for the whole family ie water sports nearby. A few years ago I was involved in physician recruitment to a rural community. These other factors were the key to the successful recruitment of both a foreign trained doctor and a nurse practitioner. I like the Wood Mountain uplands and Willow Bunch but I have interests.

[@markanthony3275]

Nobody has any money in Saskatchewan...what I mean by that is nobody wants to pay anybody else what they're worth. That's why many small businesses come and go all the time. When I lived there, I used to joke with my friends that the coupon was the official currency of Saskatchewan because nobody would buy anything without a coupon. We are talking E.T. ...people who are Extra Tight with their money...and who employ all kinds of eking strategies like collecting rags and trading them in for a can, and then once you have ten cans you can trade them for a coupon. That's the mindset. Many people have to get by with two part time jobs, and a monthly bag of groceries from their parents, plus their twelve year old car. A mechanic friend, who was a buyer and seller of VW cars , used to go to Calgary where no one wanted a ten year old VW so they were cheap. And then he would bring them to Saskatoon where people would fight over them...and of course, offer to make payments. I'm glad I left and I don't miss Saskatoon one bit! Their cheap grinch like mindset is holding them all back.

Poor air quality from coal mine leaves the snow blackened. Right on US border with tons of drug trade. Melville is a major CNR terminal town with high paying unionized jobs. Should be in top 3 in province. Another nice little town is Nipawin. Great hockey community, entering into forest line.

Estevan crumbled during the pandemic 😷. Lots of people left . Estevan will be a made into a 15 minute city . Soon welcome to the Hunger games . You will need permission to leave estevan to go to Weyburn as Weyburn will need permission to go to Estevan etc etc etc .

[@Localtruthspeaker]

If people in weyburn make 126000 dollars then why the heck is it only a small town. I’m a log truck driver in northern Alberta making a lot less than that and I’m a considered high income earner.

The best place to live in Saskatchewan is Victoria B.C.

no thanks too expensive and pay is low

@@LHLK-q2v I have several friends that live there and while they say it’s a little expensive, it’s preferable to the long winters in Saskatchewan. But then, they’re also Unionized tradesmen.

I was told in the old days Foam lake was a hotbed for bootlegging so it must be a good place.

[@tazzthedoodle7861]

I know this is an opinion piece. I hope someone moving here doesn't take this list seriously.

[@ApexGeography]

Are you saying there are no good places to live in Sask?

[@tazzthedoodle7861]

@ApexGeography Saskatchewan is awesome!! In my opinion, your list could be better. To start, Estevan is a dying city and shouldn't be on the list. Moosomin is a nice place, but you should've referred to Regina as the closest city. If you need health care you can't get that in Brandon if you're a SK resident. Weyburn is a nice town but there is nothing there. Saskatoon is a traffic nightmare, and you are correct about the crime.

[@rscott2247]

Timing the railway crossings in Estevan is a great skill to have. Lost Child towing has great auto servicing for the buck in Weyburn, besides the lovey Pump Jacks pub & Higher Consciousness new age shop. Thank goodness the north end of Swift has decent shopping.@@tazzthedoodle7861

[@terrymcguinness7519]

I've lived my whole life in Saskatchewan and I would say Saskatoon and Regina are the two worst places to live. I live in a small town now, but if I had to move into a city , I would pick Moose Jaw.

[@nomadseniors]

Moosomin Sucks, right to the ND Border the people are mostly related, forget about getting a job, Nepotism runs ramped and this goes for almost EVERY small town, these people DO NOT welcome you to their town, they talk behind your back and are VERY NOSEY worse than the big cities, too many chemicals, sure they smile at you but would never help you. I know because I live on a small acreage tractor broke down and I had contracted Lyme Disease, tried to do the work, fell and hurt my shoulder needed rotator cup surgery 9 months of Physio NOT ONE PERSON came to help me, got Lyme disease I was happy when animal activists from Brandon took my 2 goats, chickens and one cow, I was happy Moved to Brandon in an apt. there I had great neighbors and therapists, now I am working out at a local Gym slowly but surely I will get back to me...stay away from Southeast Sask.

[@cathyrivas6496]

Medical care is terrible in Saskatchewan, I know because I live there. I had better medical care when I lived in the Dominican Republic. Be prepared to change family doctors every year because Doctors don't stay in Saskatchewan, they are all foreign doctors doing there time before being able to work in larger metropolitan areas of Canada. Also. you have to drive to a major city like Saskatoon or Regina to get CAT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds or for specialists. People here won't help you either unless you are a homesteader family that has lived here all your life. They'll be polite and courteous but don't expect them to welcome you into the fold. Been here 10 years and I haven't once been asked to a BBQ, dinner or card game when they have functions with friends. They are also very very racist especially towards aboriginals.

[@LMW87MMA]

We’ve been in Regina for less than a year and have made lots of friends/invited to plenty of gatherings. Maybe it’s you

[@Chris_Garman]

Maybe nobody likes you. Only in a big city will nobody help you, otherwise people are tripping over each other to help people.
