Sackville blends university-town energy with easygoing Maritime living, set along tidal marshes that turn sunrise and sunset into daily events. It sits an easy drive from Moncton and just across the border from Amherst, giving residents big-city conveniences while keeping a close-knit feel. Municipal services, programs, and recreation are coordinated by the newly formed Town of Tantramar, which brought Sackville and neighboring communities under one umbrella in 2023.
Education anchors local life. Mount Allison University draws scholars and arts lovers from across the country, enriching the town with lectures, performances, and public events. Families appreciate strong public schools, led by Tantramar Regional High School along with Marshview Middle and Salem Elementary. Art is woven into the streetscape: the nationally recognized Owens Art Gallery presents contemporary and historical exhibitions, while the summer music festival Sappyfest turns downtown into a weekend of stages and pop-up shows.
Outdoor time is part of the routine here. Boardwalks at the Sackville Waterfowl Park wind through cattails and open water, offering birdwatching, quiet runs, and family strolls minutes from cafés and shops. Paths link neighborhoods to campus and parks, and a weekly farmers’ market, indie cafés, and locally owned boutiques give day-to-day errands real character.
Whether you’re buying your first place near campus or selling a family home by the marsh, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top Sackville agent who knows the market and makes the process straightforward.
