From City Lights to Northern Lights: Embracing Life in Newfoundland

Dreaming of trading city hustle for the tranquility of rural living?

Newfoundland and Labrador offers a picturesque alternative to Canada's sprawling urban centres.

If you're looking for warm neighbours, ocean views, and affordable living, these are some of the province's most sought-after communities, and they're stealing the hearts of newcomers.

1. Trinity: Coastal Charm and Heritage Homes: Nestled on the Bonavista Peninsula, Trinity is a step back in time with its well-preserved heritage homes and coastal charm. Explore historic sites, catch a play at the Rising Tide Theatre, and feel the warmth of a community that welcomes newcomers with open arms.

• A 3-bedroom, newly renovated home by the sea in Trinity costs as low as $199,000, as of 2024. And that includes a woodstove to keep you cozy on winter evenings.

2. Port Rexton: A Haven for Artists and Adventurers: For those seeking a blend of creativity and outdoor exploration, Port Rexton is a hidden treasure. Home to the famous Port Rexton Brewery and the Skerwink Trail, this coastal community offers a vibrant arts scene amidst stunning natural beauty.

• Port Rexton is just under three hours from St. John's, and a plot of land on these rolling emerald-green hills costs about $50,000.

3. Woody Point: Gateway to Gros Morne National Park: Picture this: a tranquil town nestled at the base of the towering Gros Morne Mountain, with views that will take your breath away. Woody Point, located near Gros Morne National Park, offers a serene escape for nature lovers. Immerse yourself in hiking trails, boat tours, and the welcoming atmosphere of this close-knit community.

• Stay connected to the rest of Canada through Deer Lake airport (not that you'll want to leave, with 3-bedroom saltbox homes going for $259,000).

The majestic Tablelands are just a short drive away from Woody Point.
