Skyline Acres

Skyline Acres, a mid-century gem near the university.

A tight south-side pocket of character mid-century homes, mature trees, and a quiet community feel within walking distance of UNB and a short drive from downtown.

The character

Skyline Acres is one of those neighbourhoods Fredericton locals know about and out-of-province buyers usually do not until I show it to them. Mid-century single-family homes, generous lots for the location, walkable streets, and the kind of mature tree canopy that takes a generation to grow back if you lose it.

The buyer profile

UNB-affiliated faculty and staff. Professionals who work downtown and want a short commute with character. Families who specifically want a mid-century home and the renovation potential that comes with it.

Price ranges, 2026

Most single-family stock runs $440,000 to $625,000, with renovated or larger homes climbing higher. The neighbourhood does not turn over often. When something nice lists, it tends to draw multiple offers within the first week.

The honest tradeoffs

Mid-century homes mean original kitchens and bathrooms in many cases. Renovation appetite required. Lots can be irregular due to the mid-century street layout. Always pull a recent survey if available.
