About the City
Saint John, New Brunswick
Saint John is New Brunswick's largest city and Canada's oldest incorporated city (1785). The metro region has about 130,000 people and serves as the economic and shipping hub for southern New Brunswick. The city sits on the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides, and the local economy is anchored by the port, oil refining, and a growing IT and professional-services sector. After decades of slow growth, Saint John has seen significant inbound migration over the past five years from Toronto, Montreal, and the U.S. - much of it driven by remote work and the city's housing affordability relative to other Canadian metros. Demand for aesthetic services has grown alongside the population.
Who lives here
New Brunswick's largest city and one of Atlantic Canada's major ports. Slowly growing population after years of stability, with recent inbound migration from larger Canadian metros and from the U.S. driving demand for new services. Lower median household income than other markets on this list, but also lower cost of services.
Notable attractions
- Reversing Falls - tidal phenomenon on the Saint John River
- Saint John City Market - oldest continuously-operating farmer's market in Canada

- New Brunswick Museum
