The Core Neighbourhoods Sector, previously known as the Core Neighbourhoods Suburban Development Area (SDA), is a sector in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is a part of both the west and the east side communities of Saskatoon, straddling the South Saskatchewan River. On the west side it generally lies east and south of Confederation Sector and south of the Lawson Sector; while on the east side it lies south of the University Sector and east and north of the Nutana Sector. This sector comprises early Saskatoon origins where the first towns of Nutana, West Saskatoon, and Riversdale came together to form the city of Saskatoon in 1906.

Neighbourhoods

East

The east side of the Core Neighbourhoods Sector brings together the early Temperance Society colony which became later known as Nutana and Varsity View. Nutana was the first settled area on the east side of the South Saskatchewan River. With the beginnings of the University of Saskatchewan, Varsity View saw rapid development.

West

With the coming of the rail line, the west side developed, forming a railway support neighborhood in Riversdale. The Central Business District was initially home to a residential community with the main churches lining the South Saskatchewan River. The warehouse district which supported the railway line, also supported a burgeoning retail sector as well. Residential areas soon blossomed north and west of the railway lines forming:

Pleasant Hill
Caswell Hill
City Park
King George
Westmount
