Chatham blends riverfront living with a strong sense of heritage on the south side of Miramichi, where historic streets meet sweeping views of the Miramichi River. Stroll Water Street’s independents, catch a sunrise along the shoreline, and head across to Newcastle for boardwalk treats or summer concerts—all part of everyday life in this connected city. Retail runs north in Douglastown, while local ball fields and green spaces in Chatham Head keep weeknights active.
Outdoor time comes easy. Families flock to Middle Island Irish Historical Park for breezy boardwalks, interpretive stories, and seasonal events—history told right at the water’s edge at the beautifully maintained Middle Island Irish Historical Park. City trails and playgrounds stitch neighborhoods together, and anglers know that salmon season can feel like a community holiday.
Schools and services are a major draw. Teens attend the well-regarded James M. Hill Memorial High School, while younger learners benefit from a mix of English and French options and nearby early learning centers. Healthcare is anchored by Miramichi Regional Hospital, and post-secondary programs at the NBCC Miramichi campus keep skills and careers growing close to home. With reliable city amenities, festivals that celebrate Irish and river traditions, and a pace that leaves room for both ambition and downtime, Chatham makes moving within or to Miramichi feel like a smart, rewarding step.
