Eastview is a suburban community in the Nutana Suburban Devolpment Area (SDA) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which was developed in the 1960s and 1970s. Located in what was at the time the southeast corner of the city, Eastview was an experiment in using a single name format for its streets. With the exception of Arlington Avenue, which passes through the neighbourhood, all street names begin with the word "East". This experiment has not, to date, been repeated, although a later community, Briarwood used a similar device with all street names in that area starting with the letter B. The population of Eastview was 3,495 in 2006.
Eastview neighbourhood is bounded to the north by Louise Street, Preston Avenue on the west and Circle Drive on the east and south.
