Northampton sits along the Saint John River in Carleton County, offering wide-open skies, fertile fields, and water views with a peaceful, close-to-everything feel. Daily needs, dining, and services are a quick drive in either direction to Woodstock, while a scenic ride upriver brings you to Hartland, famous for the world’s longest covered bridge. Weekends might mean paddling calm river stretches, roadside farm-stand stops, or skating and swimming under one roof at the town’s year-round AYR Motor Centre. Nature lovers gravitate to the trail network at the Meduxnekeag Valley Nature Preserve for spring wildflowers, fall colour, and quiet forest walks.
Families in Northampton are served by the Anglophone West School District; older students commonly attend Woodstock High School or Hartland Community School, with school buses and extracurriculars tying the community together. Locals make regular stops at Woodstock’s independent shops and markets, enjoy riverfront festivals, and head to hockey games or swim lessons after work. With Trans-Canada Highway access nearby, commuting to regional employers and universities in Fredericton is straightforward.
Whether you’re drawn by the river lifestyle, small-town amenities, or room to stretch out and grow, Northampton delivers a relaxed pace without giving up convenience.
