The Valley
Rothesay
Old trees, old money and the Kennebecasis wide as a lake. Rothesay is the valley's most established address, closest to the city and priciest for a reason.
- About 11,700 people
- Roughly 15 minutes to uptown Saint John
- Home to Rothesay Netherwood School, Grades 6 to 12
What it's like
Rothesay grew up as the place Saint John's merchant families summered, and it never lost that composure. Streets near the water carry heritage homes under mature canopy; the common and the yacht club anchor the town's social season.
It suits people who want their equity somewhere proven. Homes here hold value with unusual consistency, and the trade is a smaller, tighter inventory.
The houses
Heritage properties near the river, generous mid-century homes on large lots, and select executive builds. True entry-level stock is scarce; when it appears it moves.
