Move East
Here in Saint John, we have the best of all worlds. We’re the only city on the awe-inspiring Bay of Fundy. We’re proud stewards of fascinating 19th-century architecture in our historic Uptown. We enjoy several acclaimed restaurants, spectacular entertainment venues, numerous art galleries, and what is quite possibly the largest collection of art in public places of any Atlantic city.
And, did I mention how affordable real estate is here? You’ll be amazed at how much house you can afford in Saint John. See for yourself! Follow this link to my residential and investment property listings.
We’re ready and eager to welcome you! To prove the point, Saint John Mayor Don Darling posted on his Facebook page: “Hey Toronto and Vancouver, move to Saint John NB, we have jobs, you can buy a house for well under 200k and our commutes are measured in minutes. Contact me and I will share with you how much I love my city and how much we want you.” …And, yes, in addition to getting mainstream media attention, it went viral!
