. Hampton Village is the first suburb designed on Saskatoon's west side to be modelled after the village concept. The residential area is constructed around the ''village centre'' consisting of shops, services and amenities for residential living, with walking trails radiating outward from the central core. This suburb has some detached homes and condominiums sold, and in 2008, there are still several areas still under construction.

Some remnant lots along the southern portion of the community rest on lands annexed by the city between 1911 and 1977.
