[3] During the speculative real estate market between 1909 and 1912, ambitious developers had a local lumber company built three stately brick homes at 1906, 1908 and 1910 York Avenue (at the intersection with Taylor Street).
[6] The northmost "sister" was demolished to make way for Fire Station #3 - the two remaining homes survive to the present day.
[7] The portion of the community bounded by Broadway and Melrose avenues and Isabella and Hilliard streets was originally marketed in the early 1950s under the name Broadacres.
In 1953, newspaper advertisements promoted Broadacres as Saskatoon's first "controlled subdivision" (today's term being "master-planned community").
Lot-buyers were initially required to agree to certain development regulations, including a minimum 900-square-foot main floor footprint on homes and no front fencing.
[13] The Queen Elizabeth Community Association serves residents by offering recreational, social, and educational programs for adults, children/youth, and preschoolers.
[20] Queen Elizabeth is a part of the east division of the Saskatoon Police Service's patrol system.
[23] The only commercial developments in Queen Elizabeth are businesses located at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Taylor Street.
