Grand Bay-Westfield
On the west bank of the Saint John River, Grand Bay-Westfield trades sidewalks for shoreline. It is the shortest route from a city job to a river evening.
- About 20 minutes to uptown Saint John
- Expanded boundaries in the 2023 local governance reform
- River communities linked by the Westfield ferry
What it's like
Life here orients to the water. Wharves, boat launches and the cable ferry across to the Kingston Peninsula set the tone, and properties a street apart can differ completely depending on river access.
The 2023 reform brought neighbouring settled areas into the municipality, stretching its reach along the river valley.
The houses
Riverfront and river-view homes lead the market, backed by family streets in the centre and wooded acreage properties up the valley. Waterfront pricing runs its own market within the market.
