Durham sits along the Nashwaak River corridor in York County, offering a quiet, wooded setting with easy access to the shops, dining, and culture of nearby Fredericton. Weekends tend to start outside here: paddlers slip into the Nashwaak, cyclists and snowmobilers roam country backroads, and families make day trips to the beaches, trails, and golf at Mactaquac Provincial Park, a four-season destination with an extensive trail network and marina managed by Parks New Brunswick. Closer to town, Killarney Lake Park’s forested loops and swim beach provide a convenient nature fix on the edge of the city.
Families appreciate practical connections, too. Durham residents are served by the Anglophone West School District, which offers French Immersion and a range of extracurriculars; older students can pursue post-secondary programs at the University of New Brunswick, a short commute away. Health care is anchored by the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital, a full-service facility with emergency and specialist care. For living space, you’ll find options from river-view acreages and hobby farms to newer builds tucked among pines, with room for gardens, workshops, and gear. History buffs can step back in time at Kings Landing, a celebrated living history museum that hosts seasonal festivals and hands-on programs.
