Although Statistics Canada reports that the majority of immigrants to Canada choose to live in MTV (Montreal - Toronto - Vancouver), not all wish to live in an urban setting.

Recently every new-to-Canada family I've been representing as their Buyer's agent have one requirement in common - more land than most city lots have to offer. These immigrant families want an acre at the very least and they want their residence to have some well developed trees. To them former a hayfield or cutover land is not appealing.

The natural beauty and privacy offered by many of our rural properties is a major reason why they are choosing to reside in the Moncton area.

In my judgment there is a growing contingent of former urbanite families immigrating to our area in order to live on more land and enjoy the unique quality of life our area offers. I'm very pleased to welcome them.
