Westview is a suburban community in the Confederation Suburban Development Area (SDA) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Originally named "Tuxedo Park" by real estate developers in 1912, the area remained undeveloped until the 1960s.[1] The majority of development occurred in the 1970s and 1980s (although the neighbourhood, with the more-or-less current street layout, had appeared on city street maps as early as 1961). The neighborhood was finally completed in the late 1990s. Located in what was at the time the northwest corner of the city, the neighbourhood was on the city's western edge, giving its residents a true "West view". Unlike its Eastview counterpart, all street names don't begin with the word "West". The population of Westview was 3,441 in 2006.
The community was originally identified as Westview Heights, but the second word was dropped from the official community name in the 1980s.
The Westview neighbourhood is bounded to the north by 37th Street, Circle Drive on the east and Junor Avenue on the west and 33rd Street to the south.

Westview exists within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon-Wanuskewin. It is currently represented by Maurice Vellacott of the Conservative Party of Canada, first elected in 1997 and re-elected in 2000, 2004 and 2006.[3]
Provincially, the area is within the constituency of Saskatoon Massey Place. It is currently represented by Cam Broten of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, first elected in the 2007 general elections, replacing long-time veteran MLA Eric Cline.
In Saskatoon's non-partisan municipal politics, Westview lies within ward 4. It is currently represented by Councillor Myles Heidt.[4]
Westview is a part of the northwest division of the Saskatoon Police Services patrol system. This division services northwest of the South Saskatchewan River which encompasses the eighteen neighbourhoods, five industrial areas as well as the Airport Management Area and Agriplace areas.[5] The three Saskatoon hospitals are located in other nearby neighborhoods. St. Paul's Hospital is located in Pleasant Hill, Royal University Hospital is located in the University of Saskatchewan Land Management area, and Saskatoon City Hospital is located in City Park. Water is treated and supplied by the City of Saskatoon Water and Wastewater Treatment Branch.[6] Westview is served by the City of Saskatoon Saskatoon Fire & Protective Services.[7]

A strip mall on 2410 Richardson Road services this community directly. Confederation Mall Shopping Centre in the Confederation Suburban Centre is also nearby, as well as the Saskatoon Co-Op grocery store on 33rd Street.
Caroline Robins School hosts a number of sports and recreational programs set out by the Westview Community Association.[8]
Caroline Robins School nestles into the west end of Dr. Seager Wheeler Park. Senator James Gladstone Park divides in the south and east edges along Glenwood Avenue while Sen. J. Hnatyshyn Park lies at the corner of Catherwood Avenue and Richardson Road. Unlike Eastview, the streets in the neighborhood with exception of Avenues W & Y and 33rd & 37th Streets are named after prominent figures in Saskatoon's history. The majority of the neighborhood is laid out in the crescent system as the city was beginning to shy away from the grid layout. The northwest corner of the neighborhood which saw the construction of Lewis Crescent, Peterson Crescent, Court and Terrace along with the 37th Street extension from Byers Crescent to Junor Avenue took place between 1996 and 1999.
