Pacific Heights is geographically located in north west Saskatoon. The main construction boom for this community was the 1970s, during which the City of Saskatoon annexed the land. Following elementary school, students usually attend Tommy Douglas Collegiate or Bethlehem Catholic High School on Bowlt Crescent a part of Blairmore SDA community. According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2013 was $279,500.

Diefenbaker Drive is a main artery which curves around the neighbourhood on both the eastern and the northern limits. Childers Crescent defines the western edge, and the main City thoroughfare of 22nd Street West is the southern perimeter.

The 2012 concept plan for the new community of Kensington, to the west, indicated the neighborhood's westernmost street, Monck Avenue to be abolished (despite having been constructed in the 1970s, there has never been any residential development along that roadway). The City officially announced the planned closure in the summer of 2013. As a result of the lack of residential development on the roadway and the location on the far west end of the city limits, Monck Avenue was notorious for late night drag racing prior to the installation of speed bumps in 2007. With the exception of the west leg of Devonshire Crescent, the roadway served as a shortcut for motorists wanting to cross between Diefenbaker & Centennial Drives without using Lisgar Avenue, which also connects the two roadways. Monck Avenue was replaced by Childers Crescent when the first phase of Kensington was built. It is unknown whether or not the City of Saskatoon plans to reuse the Monck name on any future streets.

Pacific Heights exists within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon West. It is currently represented by Sheri Benson of the New Democratic Party, first elected in 2015.

Provincially, the area is within the constituency of Saskatoon Fairview. It is currently represented by Jennifer Campeau of the Saskatchewan Party, first elected in 2011.
