Is Fredericton The Most Affordable Capital City In Canada? | Downtown City Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Fredericton is the cultural and legislative capital of New Brunswick. It has a lot to offer in terms of affordable housing, educational facilities, parks, restaurants and is very family friendly. Fredericton has a population of approximately 60,000 people and is the 3rd largest city in New Brunswick. If you are a tourist coming here for the first time, I would recommend coming in the summer to have the most activities available because it does get a lot quieter in the other seasons. Join me for a tour of the downtown part of the city and get my first impressions of what you can expect when coming here!

You just made me appreciate my home town so much. Seeing it through your eyes really made me realize that Fredericton is gorgeous, and that I've been taking it for granted. Thank you
I’m glad 🙂
Grew up and went through high school in Freddy'sville. Absolutely a safe town to raise a family.
Amazing video 🔥🙏🏼🚀 I’m a Real Estate Agent here in New Brunswick, (I just ran a marathon in Fredericton) and I can’t thank you enough for doing such an incredible overview of our beautiful capital city‼️
My pleasure!
When I lived in Fredericton in 2016, I paid 900$ for a big one-bedroom beside the capital complex. 900$ was considered "insanely expensive" by my friends whose rents were in the 600-700$ range. Crazy times we're living in.
You're right about the historical district (aside for the markets, that's on George street), in the summers they have free movie screenings on the grass behind the barracks. Other events are in Officer's square (pride, free concerts, harvest jazz & blues, etc) at the corner of King and Regent. .
You're totally right about visiting in the summer, thats when there are *some* things to do. Winters are brutal and best remedied with Picaroons Winter Warmer ale. Actually, that's all there really is to do in NB outside of the summer, eat (sea)food and drink micro brew.
Fun fact about the capital city thing, during british colony era Saint John was supposed to be the capital city. They chose Fredericton instead because Saint John was susceptible sea invasions in times of war, which also explains why Saint John is so heavily fortified with historic sites like Carleton Martello tower, Fort howe, and Fort LaTour.
I'm glad you liked it though. Fredericton sure is beautiful this time of year. Same with the heavily forested countryside, all those different coloured leaves in the valleys. Breath taking scenery on the drive from Fredericton to Saint John.
Can you tell I'm a bit home sick? :P
Thank you so much for sharing! It is a lovely city, also want to check out St John another time.
My wife and I enjoyed a symphony concert at Tanglewood one year.
Quebec City is by far the most affordable capital city. You can spend as little as $700/month for a decent one bedroom that still has some access to public transport, or $1100 for something closer to the city center which is walkable enough to not need a car. 3 bedroom houses can be bought for 300k to 500k. Some other expenses such as food is slightly above average, but not by much. School and daycare is extremely cheap (free until university, $4000/year for university, $7/day subsidized daycare). Cellphone plans and car insurance are also cheaper than canadian average.
For sure, Quebec city is way more affordable and has much better access to primary healthcare. You cannot find a one bedroom in Fredericton for 700 a month. More like 1500 for a newer unit/
The thing to consider before moving to Quebec is the requirements to learn to speak French
@@f50koenigg Indeed, but it is an easy language to learn.
@@f50koenigg the thing to consider before moving to Fredericton is are you prepared to be bored out of your mind AND put up with an ENDLESS arctic winter?
Harriet and I were there in the summer of 2017. We have friends that live there. If you want a place to simply chill yet still enjoy the art exhibits and festivals, not to mention the tasty food.
This is your kind of place. We're so glad you managed to visit it. It's so worth a return visit. Again, thank you for the wonderful memories we had of Fredericton. Sending you much love❤
from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki 🐶 P.S. Happy Halloween ! Alina
Thanks guys! Happy Halloween to you as well!
I went to Fredericton for a weekend in December many years ago on business . I had a room at the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel right next to the river. Overnight it snowed and continued to snow all day. The river created a mist and all the trees had layer of ice. It was beautiful. I found the houses charming. Being a capital it's well maintained. I loved it. My customer recimmended a place for lunch called Joe's Diner. It was a long trailer with a counter and stools. I hope its still there. Thanks for the tour Alina.
Things have changed, It is not well maintained in the winter and ignores the needs of those with ambulatory issues let alone those that just want to go for a walk.
@@rps1689 I am saddened to hear that. I waa really charmed when I visited.
Great video and brings back a lot of memories. I lived in Fredericton from 1985 to 1990. There used to be a McDonald's on the north side (not sure if it still there) where I worked as a night shift maintenance worker for a year before attending UNB. In the summers we used to play soccer on the greens by the river near the art gallery. I loved the city and the people and really hope to be able visit there again. Thanks again for this video.
It's still there....I grew up on brookside....big day when it opened
@@t56766 Thank you for your response!
A few beautiful things going here. Love this channel
Hi Alina! Thanks for your beautiful overview tour of Fredericton!
So many beautiful places!# Thanks Alina!#
A very great job, Alina!❤
Thank you!
Wow Alina really enjoyed the video! It looks really nice there and they seem to have a great trail system there. As always thanks for sharing!
I love the area along the Atlantic coast. Thank you for sharing your amazing video!
Alina would love to visit New Brunswick especially Freericton. Thank you for sharing the video with us. As usual your videos are enjoyable. Have a safe trip to your next destination.
My pleasure and thank you very much!
Beautiful city and very lovely video
THANK YOU Alina
What a wonderful town, surrounded by an incredible nature. I love the park along the river banks. Everywhere is so clean and quiet! Canada is fantastic and also the food looks amazing! Thank you Alina. Your videos are always beautiful.
My pleasure! Fredericton is really lovely city.
@@AlinaMcleod Canada has many towns and cities. A few are just marvels. That lobster breakfast was a revelation to me.
@@AlinaMcleod Talking about St John's River reminded me of watching the river flow UPSTREAM.
Thank you Alina for your all videos about Canada! I love you all your videos and I love you Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
You are so welcome!
Hi Alina, as someone that lives in Cape Breton I really enjoyed you showing Fredericton during a less touristy season. I love outdoor markets etc, but you did a great job showing what there is there and the serene beauty of the area without the summer buzz. I for one will likely add it as place to visit at either tail end of the busy season. Great video! Safe travels next.
I'm so glad! Cape Breton is definitely on my list for my next trip to the Maritimes!
Thank you so much.
Have a good Day. 😊👍
Hope friendly natures have kindness of strangers .Thanks your sharing .
breakfast looked amazing . jealous 100%
Wow, thank you for the tour!
The Maritimes is definitely one of my Bucket List destinations for Canada, and as a Canadian it shouldn't be impossible.
And now, you just reminded me I've got to make some bannock! 😄😋
Great informative video
Great ............. Thank You Alina
Ur channel is most imformative
Thank for you Alina you are very smart.
nice recorrido en fredericton nice , gente, clima , áreas verdes , río , restaurante, food , y te miras bonita! comiendo
My brother lives in Fredericton. 😊 we visited the city last summer. Love your videos.
That's awesome! Thank you for tuning in :)
Hi Alina! 😄🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a magnificent day! This is absolutely a marvelous super fantastic video! 😁👍❤️👏📹🇨🇦🥇💯💫✨🌟 The city of Fredericton looks really wonderful! Also the legislative building and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery is magnificent! Even the view of the St. John River from the Railway Bridge is beautiful! The food at Claudine’s Eatery and the Wolastoq Wharf Restaurant looks so delicious! I would definitely like to visit the city of Fredericton one day. It really is a marvelous city! Thank you so much Alina to share with us this excellent amazing video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer ever! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🥇💯🏆💫🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful beautiful amazing blessed day. 😊🙏❤️👋🇨🇦👍✨🌟
It does have so much to offer :)
Looking forward to your grand tour of Asia and learn and discover new countries cultures and cities, a welcome watch as a European winter passes the same time as in Canada. Good escapism, much love Alina ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Coming up very soon!
Your make up is great and love the dress/top!! Thanks for your insight and stay beautiful
I enjoyed 2 things in this video, firstly your suggestions for food in Brunswick and I loved too your taste of music especially for the ending scenes on this video, you are doing that mixture between music and sightings in a unique way
Thank you so much!
Great video and very informative..
Stunning 🧡💛
Thanks for your video.I have been learning flight in Fredericton 6 years ago.I always follow the Saint John river fly back to the airport.I hope I can come back to visit this little city again.And welcome you to China!Happy Chinese new year!
Great video
Thanks Alina
Fantastic canada. Love the series. I understand some cities are just too expensive while some affordable
i passed by in 2016, spent a night at the U of NB. yes, the university also opened for tourist business. the city was nice, small. may not pay a point-to-point visit, but will plan to stop next stop i do another trip from Nova Scotia to inner land.
Top choice for alternative places, thank you!#
Many blessings to you💞 ✌🥰
I didn't realize until watching this video that although I've known people from New Brunswick, I've never actually met anyone from Fredericton. As such this city is almost a total mystery to me. So your video is a peek into someplace that I have really only heard of by name. Thanks for the wander through its quiet but lovely streets.
The three last videos that you've shown, depicted three beaultiful towns of the Atlantic coast of Canada.
It seems to me that this region of the country, along with the French portion, is the most attractive as far as urban landscapes and small towns are concerned.
But I might be wrong. That is just a impression based on the videos alone and on the bias we tend to form towards smaller and more picturesque towns.
But, obviously, large cities, as Toronto, have vantages that cannot be ignored.
Can't wait for the next videos!
I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos! The Maritimes definitely has a lot to offer and are perfect for someone who wants a more relaxed pace of life.
what pace of life are you looking for Alina?
What a lovely place! Marked it on my bucket list. What else can i do? Thanks for showing how some people live in heaven.
Wonderful video! You're enjoying Canada I suspect. Have fun in SE Asia!
Thank you, it's coming up soon!
Heavenly gastronomic fare, can see it your eyes!# Enjoy!#
Happy Halloween Alina!#
Happy Halloween, Alina!
Thank you and likewise!
@@AlinaMcleod Thanks, Alina! Sending love from Miami, Florida ❤
Keep warm!#
Thanks Alina love your show you look fabulous even 2 teenage daughters think so
I lived there for a year 94/95. It gets hot there in the Summer and Saskatchewan like in the Winter, quite the temperature range. Beautiful city, lived downtown on the South shore. Downsides, electric heat only where I was living; PST was high, and Provincial tax rate was high. Also, wages were low.
😂😂😂 lol why no wooden fireplaces, shortage of wood in Canada?
Отличное видео, спасибо
Hi Alena you should have played the song out of season in the background lol🥰
Sadly can't use popular copywritten music on youtube and still get paid!
Hello Alina,
12:55 You really should consider running an ASMR channel 🙂 The bread sound so crunchy!
Good luck and health for Your upcoming travel to Southeast Asia.
Best regards, Ralf
Hi good morning god's mother Miss you so much and yuor family ❤️❤️ Thaks for sharing this video GodBless yuo allways and yuors family ❤️from phillipens mabuhay👏👏👏🌹💘
Wonderful! Every time I watched one of your videos I get stressed: what to do in Canada first......it is so huge and literally countless amazing places/nature to visit, not possible in 1 lifetime .......I do not know where to start, but my plan ( I think ) is to travel by ship from Amsterdam/Southampton ( it depends what cruises are available ) to Halifax and from there develop a further plan. Some days east coast and than take a flight to BC/Alberta. The cruise alone ( QM2 is an absolute dream ) is an adventure itself. Little bit depends on budget next year, otherwise I will take a direct flight from (AMS ) to Vancouver/Calgary and go fully for the mountains, lakes and forests. But as I said earlier you convinced me to visit the east, cooking brains at the moment 😱
haha hope you find what works for you
alina you looked fresh and pretty like autumn flowers. i am a regular viewer of your channel. going great. 🥰
I made bannock when I spent a summer at a canoeing camp in Northern Ontario. Yummy!
aww so good .. but to short.. i could watch for hours .
ماشاء الله تبارك الله تحياتي من تونس
You're looking beautiful as ever Alina 😊
I love Canada. I’d like to see extreme north like Baffin Island or Elsemere Island.
As someone who has lived in Fredericton the majority of my life (and currently do), I can confirm that a lot of what was said in this video is very accurate. Fredericton is an excellent city, and it's definitely a hidden gem in Canada. However, it is definitely not the most affordable. Rent has SKYROCKETED here and the place I currently live in that I moved into in 2020 has risen by $600 a month in just 4 years, and my neighbors who just moved in pay $500 more than me (identical unit). You can rent a newly built townhouse in Calgary for cheaper than you can in Fredericton, so I would objectively say that Fredericton is not an affordable city. Compared to Vancouver and Toronto... yes, but compared to anywhere else in Canada... no.
Great video overall!
Very sad to hear that's the reality
❤️❤️❤️ Alina
Lovely as always. I wonder if Saint John's is also underrated in terms of affordability. Are you planning to stop by there?
Sadly not on this trip, but another time definitely!
🥰@@AlinaMcleod
Will you ever do the Fort McMurrays, Prince Alberts, and Rouyn Nirandas of the country?
Another lovely spotless clean city. Just wondering ,Alina if you intend to purchase the new DJI Osmo pocket 3 ? It looks fantastic. 👍😊🇮🇪🇨🇦
Heck yes I do, looks super cool!
@@AlinaMcleod cool.
That's debatable. You should see it in the spring and winter.
hi too cold in canada, am going back home Pnom Penh , since 1972 i left my native home,i go back to retire there and lots of U S expat and many culture there, i saw you go to pnom penh very nice there it has change since 1972 gost of life cheap😊🙏👍
Yes cold but that can mean safe as well
Yea but you are right about Toronto it sound sad in the future,and very expensive but you only pay one tax as me 2 taxes Quebec and Federal but all this are in the past now am retire now and going back to Pnom Penh it is safe but a very big change very modernimagine since 1972 i lelft😊🙏👍
hi!how are you Alina.wish you heathy and prosperous life.stay blessed.
Thanks dear!hope you will also visit pakistan.
Nice to see a very pleasant city that doesn't have costs that bankrupt those who live there.
Many locals have been priced out of the market; both real estate and rental in Fredericton due to folk coming from other provinces willing to pay much more not to mention the worst tenants' rights in the country. Problem is many locals do not have the options to go to another more "affordable" province; just some dump in Saint John.
@@rps1689 Uh, yes, that is predictable when there is a need to escape really overpriced markets. Hey, see if you can "relocate" to Bulgaria. Alina McLeod had exceptional luck in the various places she visited. In fact, I heard of a company which exploited global web connectivity to move HQ to BALI and reduce production costs radically. I think a startup could totally develop a database of global infrastructure and costs. No need to hang around where costs are maximum.
@@rps1689 I think people are not objective in choosing where they reside. "Where my friends are". Did you follow them there or get to know them there? All the places to eat out. Alina has found exceptional eating places everywhere. My favorite bands play here. Well, seriously, how much stress or debt are any bands WORTH. Etc. My childhood home had living costs go berserk. I couldn't get a working income to deal with that level of costs. Frankly, lower income with much lower costs is a rational choice. Overpriced places are not places to live, at most they are places for short visits.
😂❤❤so nice ..
Hi Alina, how are you doing girl, nice video, rgs ❤❤❤
Doing great, thanks!
Traverse City, Petoskey and Marquette, Michigan in comparison to small Canadian cities.
It certainly is more affordable then Halifax now. It’s actually a good location with the river and not far from the coast border or montains
How much is it to rent a newer 2 bedroom in Halifax now? Nothing under 1800 in Fredericton now.
Clearly whoever or wherever it is in SE Asia will be and is will come to be having a great ending up journey for you!! 😊😊 😊 I have enjoyed looking at times with you here (as a former expat here in America), so right now, I want to be a man to be a man trying to formerly live over live in SE Asia dear! It’d be awesome if I could!! 😂😂
Hope you do sometime!
Hi, can you do a living cost of Fredericton. I couldn't find any latest recently
You know something is fishy when you can purchase some Irving products cheaper in BC than what it is at Kent Store.
My home Fredricton
Hi Alina, you have experienced all/most of Canada. Where would you made a home and buy a condo (Vancouver was off the list)? Thank you.
Are you going to Saquenay and Labrador City or Goose bay?
Sparsely populated, stay safe.
👍👍👍
моя🐕Лайка (156). Как не говори, но Канада всё таки красивая страна. Спасибо Алина за путешествие.
пожалуйста
สวัสดีครับ😊❤
❤
I want visit to canada thanks.
Iove you ❤❤❤
I love you so much
Hello Alina..how are you
Do you actually live in New Brunswick?
can we get part time jobs in fredericton ?
have a friend who sold his house , retired and move to Fredericton . has no regrets
We regret moving back, and after 3 years went back to BC. It took us 3 years to realize we took BC for granted and that Fredericton is a pathetic excuse for a capital city.
@@rps1689 couldnt get the illegal drugs they give away in BC ?
She is beautiful
Mostly Capital needs security for politicians & smaller cities are easier to provide security to politicians.
True, but what is interesting is the premier doesn't even live in the capital and no lack of politicians that leave whenever they can on a plane on the weekends.
А я просто смайлики добавлю 🌎🏦🌆🐺🦊🦝 !
Дуже мило, але місто важко назвати сучасним. Швидше за все, буде складно там жити після великого міста.
it is not so cheap there any more.Rentals are very expensive.Almost Calgary level.
I've been able to find rents in suburbs of Vancouver cheaper than Fredericton.
By watching your video, my English has improved，hope to see you in china.
I'm so glad to hear that! Yes, I will be visiting China sometime.
please dont support china, they made housing unaffordable in Canada
Honestly I moved away from fredriton and now I'm trying to move back
How come u can't afford rent in Toronto
Because I don't want to pay $2500 CAD for a shoebox. That money will get you so much more abroad so that's what I'd rather do.
@@AlinaMcleod I thought it's more expensive outside of Canada
