Renting in Uptown Fredericton

What the area is

Uptown Fredericton is the area around Regent Street and Prospect Street, inland from the downtown core. It is where you find the Regent Mall and the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital.

Typical housing

Uptown tends to have larger apartment buildings and newer builds, alongside houses on the surrounding streets. Newer buildings may offer features such as an elevator, on-site laundry or covered parking, but this varies, so confirm what a particular building has.

Who it tends to suit

People who want shopping and services close at hand, those who work at the hospital, and renters who prefer a purpose-built apartment building. Think about how you would get around day to day, and check it against the listing's location.
