Top 5 BEST Places to Live in Nova Scotia

Another video covering Nova Scotia! After passing 1,000,000 people in the last few weeks, I figured I'd talk about one of Canada's most popular provinces! Nova Scotia has a real charm to it and there's a reason why so many people want to call it home. In this video I give you my list of the top 5 best places I would want to live in the province.

If I missed any cities/towns, be sure to let me know in the comments! There are a ton of awesome places that are not on this list! Do you have any experience living in these towns? If you do, let us know about your experiences to help out everyone else watching! Every single piece of information can help!

We moved to Shelburne from Ontario, and absolutely love it. Haven’t been farther than Bridgewater or Yarmouth; the south shore is breath taking. Definitely looking forward to exploring more of the province.

Thank you for a the great information. I'm retired now and live in Ontario, I'm definitely looking to relocate and this video certainly helps in my search option.

Lived in Hubbards area until I was 20. Located about 45 minutes from both Halifax and Bridgewater, it is home to the Shore Club, Hubbards Beach and many small businesses as well as schools.

l live in Vt ( the best the U.S. has to offer), N.S is so much better. I bought a place on the south shore in 2005. I spend 2-3 months a year there. The people are the nicest I have ever encountered. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and the ocean. Can't wait for my next visit.

Bridgewater looks very nice and reminds me of Parrsboro which I just visited with great people and geology. Really nice people all over NS it seems.

Spent my teen years 'in the Valley'...Mum grew up in Halifax and my grandparents had their retirement home at the end of Porter's Lake in Lawrencetown. So many great memories....moved to T.O. at 18 for university and the only thing that kept me here was work. Dying to 'come home' now that the kids are grown.

Hammonds plains burned down last year sadly..people who fled flames got trapped on that busy road you mentioned!! horrendous catastrophe

Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia is one of the beautiful place where I myself live.
It’s on Highway 7 & the drive way is scenic beauty is the choose the route of Highway 7.
Houses are pretty cheap here below 200K also have beach around 14miles from Sherbrooke.
Lighthouse is near to enjoy with a walking trail.

I moved to Antigonish at the end of 2019. Then the virus happened. Could use more restaurants. And a diverse population.
Was there for four years then moved to Dartmouth. I like Dartmouth. Happy to be here.

Grew up in bridgewater and then moved to canning ……and canning in my mind was better living, the people are nicer and the area in general had more to offer. My moms side is all from canning and dads side from Lunenburg and cheitcamp. And yes I would move back from Saskatoon to Nova Scotia.

Parrsboro has always been my place to go. It's where my family is from and it holds a special place in my heart.

kentville area does have some good employment, eden valley, pepsi co, eassons, apple valley, Michelin, co-op mill, CKF all pay exceptionally well with great benifits

[nsg_kuunda]

Lol I died when you mentioned Kentville. - I find it to be the most frustrating place in the valley to get around in.

Cole Harbour is wonderful as well, it's the best of both worlds! To one side are city amenities, hospitals, fantastic shopping and schools, yet to the other lots of nature, walking trails, and beaches. Come check it out the next time you're visiting. :)

Bad place if you don’t have money.
High taxes, few places to rent, rent & purchasing a house is expensive, good luck finding a doctor, low wages just to name a few.
