Finding student housing in Moncton
Moncton is New Brunswick's largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area. Université de Moncton adds roughly 4,500 French-speaking students to the rental pool, and the student-rental core sits along rue Morton and boulevard Saint-Pierre near campus. NBCC Moncton students tend to look in the North End along Mountain Road, while Crandall students concentrate around Trinity and Elmwood Drive. Demand peaks in August for September move-in. When central Moncton tightens, students spill over into Dieppe and Riverview, both a short commute away.
Housing near Moncton campuses
Université de Moncton
The province's main Francophone university. Off-campus demand centres on rue Morton and the campus perimeter. NestEazy supports roommate matching.
NBCC Moncton
The main NBCC campus for southeastern New Brunswick. Students commonly look in the North End and along Mountain Road for transit-friendly rentals on Codiac Transpo.
Crandall University
A smaller private university in the North End. Off-campus demand concentrates around Trinity Drive and Elmwood Drive.
Oulton College

Where students tend to live
- Université de Moncton corridor
- The student-rental core. Older apartment buildings and shared houses along rue Morton and boulevard Saint-Pierre. Demand spikes in August for September move-in.

Tips for renting as a student in Moncton
Start looking in August for September
Moncton's rental market is competitive, so the U de M corridor commits early. Give yourself lead time and have your NestEazy profile ready.
Ask for the lease in your language
New Brunswick is officially bilingual and both French and English leases are valid, so request whichever you are comfortable signing. NestEazy is English only for now.
Check parking and what is included
North End, Dieppe, and Riverview rentals usually include outdoor parking. Some downtown buildings charge $40 to $90 a month or have none. Confirm before you apply.
Find roommates with Roomies
Match with other students on budget, lifestyle, and move-in date instead of guessing from a one-line post. Useful for splitting a two- or three-bedroom near campus.
More free help: read renting off-campus as an international student, build a renter pack with no credit history, or check if a rent is fair.
