Saprae Creek decision page
Saprae Creek fits buyers who want a forested lot and quiet roads outside the city, and are fine driving into Fort McMurray for most things.
Saprae Creek Estates is a rural hamlet southeast of Fort McMurray, in the boreal forest and close to the airport. It is not a city neighbourhood. Lots are bigger and the drive is longer. Ask about the lot, the well and septic or other services, and the drive in winter on every listing.
