Andover, stretched along the east bank of the Saint John River, offers an easy pace of life with front‑row views to four seasons of outdoor fun. Across the water, Perth-Andover brings additional amenities, but Andover’s own riverside streets, local businesses, and trail access make day-to-day living refreshingly simple. Paddlers and anglers appreciate long, calm reaches of the Saint John, while winter brings reliable snowmobile routes linking into the national network via the Trans Canada Trail.
Families value strong local education. Andover Elementary School builds early skills and community connection, and older students carry on at Southern Victoria High School, both within the Anglophone West School District. Health services are close at hand through Horizon Health Network, including the regional Hospital‑Dieu of St. Joseph in the river valley.
Recreation runs year‑round. Skates hit the ice at the River Valley Civic Centre, and summer weekends often revolve around music, markets, and riverfront gatherings. A short drive delivers big experiences: the gorge and shops of Grand Falls, county services across Victoria County, and fairway time at the unique cross‑border Aroostook Valley Country Club. Music lovers mark calendars for the acclaimed Larlee Creek Music Festival, a regional highlight that draws performers and audiences from across Atlantic Canada. For scenic drives, routes recommended by Tourism New Brunswick showcase covered bridges, river vistas, and farm stands.
