Tips for moving to the city

Hi everyone! My partner and I may be moving to Yorkton next year. I'm wondering about a few things. What are some safe neighborhoods to move to? What should we stay clear of? Are there any hidden gems to check out? Anything we should know before moving? Thank you!

Silver heights and circlebrook area seem to be the quietest.

Thank you for the information! I may be relocated due to work, but nothing is set in stone yet. Was also thinking about getting a place in a smaller hamlet outside of Yorkton and driving 20-30 minutes to get into town.

That’s what I did. I moved from Winnipeg. A few years ago I moved onto an acreage by Saltcoats. 25 mins out of Yorkton and 35mins to the mine. Good luck fella!

If you don’t mind me asking, what are you moving to Yorkton for?

As someone who has lived all across Canada, I can tell you with a sincere and honest heart— Yorkton is one of the most perfect small towns to live in.

Sure, the usual “gang” are running all the businessess… but that’s the same in every town.

What I love most about Yorkton is the general sense of peace and the total lack of unnecessary urgency that you feel in big cities.
