In the 1960’s, the area where the Saddle Ridge neighbourhood now lies was developed as an agricultural community with acreages. The local community association has been active since the 1970’s and the urbanization of the area began in the late 1990’s. The neighbourhood was developed around the commercial centre of Saddletowne Circle.

There is a wide variety of modern and newly developed homes for sale in the Saddle Ridge real estate market and many of them are new construction.

There are great starter options and move-up single-family homes as well and a growing number of multi-family buildings in the community, which has resulted in a wider selection of condos for sale.
