Finding roommates in Fredericton
Fredericton's roommate market is driven by UNB, STU, and NBCC students, plus young professionals. It moves hardest between May and September, ahead of the September term. Shared houses near George Street and the University Avenue corridor are the classic setup, often three or four people splitting a house. With NestEazy's Roomies feature you match with people on budget, lifestyle, and move-in date instead of guessing from a one-line Facebook post. Every person you connect with is identity verified.

- Often look on the south side near the NBCC campus at 26 Duffie Drive on UNB grounds, where the commute is shortest and they can share with UNB and STU students.
- Young professionals & newcomers
- Splitting a downtown or Southside apartment to keep rent manageable while settling into the city.
- Existing tenants with a spare room
