Sussex is having its moment , and the people moving there are helping write the next chapter of a town that was already pretty special to begin with.
Sitting about 45 minutes from Uptown Saint John and conveniently positioned roughly halfway between Saint John and Moncton, Sussex occupies one of the most practical addresses in southern New Brunswick for anyone who needs to move between the two cities regularly.
Sussex is a bigger town than Hampton, yet carries that same infectious small-town energy. Younger people are moving in, opening shops, launching restaurants, and breathing new life into a town that has always had great bones. Surrounded by stunning countryside, rolling farmland, and some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Kings County, Sussex is deeply rooted in its agricultural heritage, and wears it proudly.
And then there's Poley Mountain, just 15 minutes away, offering skiing and snowboarding in the winter and mountain biking in the summer, with Airbnbs and getaway accommodations nearby.
If you've been craving more space, better value, and a pace of life that actually lets you breathe; Sussex is well worth the drive.
