Hanwell

Hanwell is a newly incorporated rural area after being a local service district for many years. It lies immediately southwest of Fredericton and is a rapidly growing suburb/exurb for that city. Formerly a farming community, two large residential subdivisions were constructed in Hanwell in the 1970s. Hanwell is the location of Kingswood Park, a large entertainment centre and golf course. Hanwell became an incorporated municipality as a rural community on May 23, 2014.

The community of Hanwell is a mixture of undeveloped land and growing residential areas. Its real estate market comprises single-family homes and, in some cases, plots of vacant land zoned for residential and/or commercial use. As this is a smaller area, there is often less inventory when it comes to active listings, but many homebuyers who like a more rural atmosphere prefer Hanwell to Fredericton.

Homes for sale in Hanwell are typically larger, as the community offers a lot of room for expansion. Both older and newer properties tend to be situated on substantial lots with ample space between neighbours. Mature trees, long driveways, large front and back yards, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms are all common features of homes in the Hanwell area, which is part of why this community appeals particularly to families. 

In regards to design, Hanwell homes lean traditional in style, with siding and stone exteriors being the most popular. Square footage ranges from between 1,000 square feet to the estate-sized homes of 3,000 and 4,000 square feet. In general, the community showcases a lot of new construction homes for sale, and even offers the opportunity to custom build a home in some instances. Hanwell also has a selection of mini homes, which include new construction properties, in the subdivision in the south end.

Subdivisions in Hanwell

There are a few subdivisions in Hanwell, most notably Eagle Ridge. Built by Star-Lite Construction Ltd., this popular neighbourhood is located in south of Eaglewood Drive in the south end of the community. Homes for sale in Eagle Ridge are situated on well-sized lots, between 1.5 acres and 4 acres, and with this comes a higher price point.

One of the reasons why Eagle Ridge is so sought-after is because of the amenities offered: a short distance to the downtown, area schools, plenty of things to do, and homes suitable for families. As well, homes are luxurious, with modern features, ample space, and substantial acreage.
