City of Moncton

If you like a small but bustling city, Moncton is for you. It has been called the 'happy heart of the Maritimes', and sports a diverse business environment, where the transportation, technology and tourism sectors are leading the way. Moncton residents also enjoy affordable real estate, quality French and English education and a growing multicultural community. It has a vibrant arts and culture scene with lots to do for families, and has been ranked by magazines as one of Canada’s Top 5 Places to live.

City of Dieppe

Next door to Moncton lies the City of Dieppe. Dieppe's parks, recreational and cultural facilities are the envy of many, offering activities for all age groups throughout the year. It is the home of the Roméo LeBlanc International Airport and the Moncton Flight College, the largest such college in Canada. Dieppe is also home to Champlain Place, New Brunswick's largest shopping center, and for outdoor enthusiasts, Bass Pro Shops. The number of young families in Dieppe grows every day because of its stable, safe and dynamic environment. With an energetic business community and an economy founded on respect for the environment, Dieppe is a great place in which to live and raise a family

Town of Riverview

Just across the river from Moncton , Riverview has a completely different vibe. If you like to be handy to a city but feel like you're in a small town, Riverview may be just the ticket. It has a variety of parks, nature trails and recreation amenities encouraging people of all ages to lead healthy and active lifestyles. Riverview's mayor describes it as a 'safe and inviting place where neighbours become friends, arts and culture is cherished, and you can live the life you want'.

Town of Shediac

A short 20-minute drive northeast of Moncton, Shediac is known as the Lobster Capital of the World. It is renowned for its sandy beaches, where you can enjoy swimming, boating, and windsurfing. Golf courses and hiking trails are also nearby. In the summer during tourist season, its population swells by the thousands. Off-season it is a pleasant small town, with the usual small town amenities. Many are drawn to Shediac as a place where you can live within walking distance of beaches or own a water front property at a reasonable price.

Village of Memramcook

20 minutes south of Moncton, the village of Memramcook is home to The Memramcook Valley Golf Club, one of the most beautiful and picturesque golf courses in New Brunswick. After a round of golf, you can stop in at the Latitude 46 Estate Winery. History buffs will enjoy the Monument Lefebvre National Historic Site with exhibits about the Acadian people, descendants of the 17th-century, mostly French, colonists who settled in what is now Canada’s Maritime provinces. As with most villages, home lots tend to be larger and houses further apart. If you enjoy country living, this may be the area for you.
