Discover Waterfront Homes & Properties
Waterfront homes and properties are amongst some of the most desirable real estate on the market—which is often so because of the various features, not limited to additional privacy and security. In the Fredericton, New Brunswick area, there are a number of communities in which waterfront properties are available for sale. From homes on the St. John River to secluded lakefront properties in the rural communities further into the county, this property type can suit a diverse selection of buyers.
For interested buyers, waterfront homes are typically priced higher than other homes, though listings range from undeveloped land with water access to estate-sized homes that are perched on the cliffside. As such, this property type encompasses a range of active listings. Additionally, some properties are zoned for commercial purposes (in the realm of hospitality), so this is an option for buyers seeking a lucrative business opportunity.
In regards to home features and styles, these are incredibly diverse. Depending on the area, waterfront homes include new construction homes, which typically means a more modern design. In contrast, areas such as Fredericton have a rich history, and with that comes some historic properties—some of which were built in the early-1900s and have been carefully maintained.
Communities on the bay, or simply those located outside of the more urban areas, often have properties situated on generously-sized lots. Beyond the appeal of having acreage with a home, many like the beautiful views and privacy that more rural waterfront homes provide. These also make for great family homes, as floor plans are usually quite spacious and can accommodate more people.
Amenities Near Waterfront Properties
While amenities are entirely dependent on the area itself, there are a few common features of homes on the waterfront, particularly in Fredericton, that are appealing to many prospective buyers.
Waterfront homes, firstly, have those desirable views that many are looking for. Whether on the lakefront, bayfront, or riverfront, a lot of buyers enjoy looking out through their window and seeing the water every day. As well, this typically means larger lot sizes, which means that neighbours are further away—and for those who like the peace and quiet, this is quite appealing.
In Fredericton, there are a few neighbourhoods which touch the river. Water access is one of the most desirable features (and not all homes have this despite their sought-after location) of these properties. It makes it easy to take out the boat during the warmer months. Island View, Silverwood, Skyline Acres, Lincoln, and Barkers Point/Lower St. Mary's are waterfront neighbourhoods that have significant residential areas and opportunities to own a home on the river. For lakefront neighbourhoods, water access is generally more guaranteed.
Popular activities for those with waterfront homes include boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and more. However, these are once again dependent on area. Some properties are, as well, located close to marinas, so even if direct, private access to the water is not a feature of the property, there are still opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
