Hampton rewards residents with river views, small‑town ease, and quick connections to regional hubs. Set in Kings County along the Kennebecasis River, it sits an easy drive from Saint John and neighbours Quispamsis and Rothesay, making it a smart base for commuters who prefer quieter streets without giving up urban amenities. The Town of Hampton maintains an active calendar and well-kept infrastructure that supports year‑round living.
Outdoors, the expansive marsh and river islands invite paddling, birding, and peaceful evening walks. Families gather at riverside parks and trailheads, while the Lighthouse River Centre anchors community events and provides visitor information right on the waterfront. Local history shines at the Kings County Museum, where exhibits and archives tell stories of shipbuilding, agriculture, and the people who shaped the region’s identity. Golfers enjoy tree‑lined fairways at the town’s course, and winter brings skating and snowshoeing on scenic routes.
Schools are a standout: Hampton’s classrooms are part of the Anglophone South School District, with well-regarded primary, elementary, middle, and high school options that support academics, arts, and athletics. Housing ranges from heritage homes near the river to newer subdivisions with generous lots, and local shops, cafes, and services make day‑to‑day errands straightforward.
