Neighbourhoods

Saint John is a city of neighbourhoods, each with its own unique geography, personality, and density. Our neighbourhoods span from the historic, to the recently built. From urban to rural. From dense and vibrant, to spacious and peaceful. These incredibly diverse areas combine to form the city we all love.

If you’d like to learn a little more about your neighbourhood, or any neighbourhood in the city, this is the place. Explore the various neighbourhood maps and descriptions—each includes notes about location, character, points of interest, history, and boundaries.

A special thank you to David Goss for providing insightful historical and story information for each neighbourhood.

*Note that the boundaries and language that define each neighbourhood are based on Census Tracts from Statistics Canada, and may not reflect area names and boundaries used by locals. Every effort has been made to include as many local names as possible.
