Renting on Fredericton's Northside

What the area is

The Northside is the part of Fredericton north of the Saint John River. It is reached by the Westmorland Street and Princess Margaret bridges, or on foot by the walking bridge. It includes communities such as Nashwaaksis, Devon, Marysville and Barkers Point, and Main Street is its commercial strip.

Typical housing

The Northside tends to feel more residential than downtown. You can expect a mix of houses, duplexes and apartment buildings, in both older and newer streets. If you want a house rather than an apartment, this is a sensible place to include in your search.

Who it tends to suit

People who prefer a residential setting, want a bit more room, or need space for a vehicle. If your work or study is on the other side of the river, plan how you will cross it, especially in winter.

What is nearby

• Shops and services along Main Street
• The neighbourhoods of Nashwaaksis, Devon, Marysville and Barkers Point
• The Westmorland Street and Princess Margaret bridges to the south side
• The Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge for crossing on foot

What to check when viewing a rental here

• Work out how you would get to work or school, and whether that depends on a particular bridge.
• Ask whether there is a driveway or off-street parking, and who clears it of snow.
• For a house or duplex, ask who looks after the yard and the walkways.
• Ask how the home is heated and what utilities the rent covers.
• Check how far the nearest shops and services are from the front door.
• Ask about laundry and storage, including a basement or shed if one is mentioned.
