One of the best neighbourhoods in Moncton for home-buying activity is Fox Creek, located in Dieppe. This neighbourhood has seen a high number of residential sales in the past three months, and benefits from its close proximity to the Greater Moncton Area. With shopping and services at a homebuyer’s fingertips, a quiet place to come home to, and a lower crime rate relative to the rest of New Brunswick, Fox Creek is the place to be.
Demand in the region is primarily being driven by suburban families/move-up buyers, first-time homebuyers and climate-conscious buyers.
