Close to amenities and offering a variety of housing options, the Brookside neighbourhoods are popular on Fredericton’s north side. Whether you’re seeking quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sacs or a life of luxury, Brookside is a fantastic option.
Offering a mix of single family dwellings, semi-detached and garden homes, as well as mini homes, the Brookside community is popular for its proximity to amenities and main travel routes. Additionally, the construction of a roundabout, connecting Brookside Drive and Route 105, in recent years has made the neighbourhood more accessible and safer for drivers. The area largely features newer and ongoing development, with most homes built in the early 2000s or later.
In particular, one major attraction for homebuyers is the West Hills Golf Course.
Bordered by executive and luxury homes, the 18-hole course was designed by Huxham Golf Design, one of Canada’s foremost design firms. West Hills offers an expansive clubhouse, the St James Gate restaurant and event space, and a retail store.
Among Fredericton’s more upscale neighbourhoods, the West Hills community is known for its curb appeal, with underground wiring, custom street lighting, and restrictive covenants to maintain the area’s allure. Additionally, West Hills residents are eligible for a discounted membership to the golf course, adding to the neighbourhood’s appeal! For those seeking a more executive home, West Hills is a beautiful option, made more convenient by its proximity to the Brookside commercial area and main travel routes.
