Northfield blends country calm with convenient access to everyday essentials, set amid the woodlands and waterways of Sunbury County. Residents enjoy elbow room, starry skies, and a strong sense of neighborliness, while errands, restaurants, and cultural events are an easy drive in Fredericton or the garrison town of Oromocto.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. The Oromocto River and its tributaries invite paddling, fishing, and birding, and families regularly head to the well-kept trails and river lookouts at the town-managed Oromocto River Nature Park. When a bigger adventure calls, the beaches, campgrounds, and four-season trail network at Mactaquac Provincial Park make for an easy day trip.
Schools and programs are supported by the Anglophone West School District, with many area students attending Oromocto High School for a wide range of academics, trades, athletics, and arts. Employment opportunities span public service, healthcare, and retail, with a major anchor in the Canadian Army’s 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown, which also brings specialized training and services to the region.
Whether you’re seeking acreage for a hobby farm, a riverside retreat, or an affordable home base with an easy commute, Northfield rewards with space, access, and a relaxed pace. If you’re thinking of buying or selling here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional who knows the area inside and out.
