Why live in Bridgewater?

Bridgewater has a reputation as one of the most bustling towns in southern Nova Scotia. It also happens to be one of the fastest-growing communities in the province. Why? Due to the lifestyle it offers its residents. First, you won’t have to travel far to access quality education, healthcare, and transportation infrastructure, which we will discuss more below. However, on top of that, Bridgewater has a scenic location on the shores of the LaHave River. This river runs out to the Atlantic Ocean, giving locals plenty of access to the water. Whether you prefer fishing, kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, or boating, you will find a place to do it in Bridgewater. Some of the best spots to enjoy the outdoors are Cookville Provincial Park, Miller Point Peace Park, Hirtle's Beach, and Crescent Beach. Further, just because Bridgewater is a commercial hub doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of cultural activities here. For instance, the town hosts several festivals and events throughout the year, such as the annual Bridgewater Garden Party, Christmas on the LaHave, the Growing Green Sustainability Festival, and the Afterglow Art Festival. Bridgewater also plays host to the South Shore Exhibition, a week-long agricultural fair known as “The Big-Ex.” It attracts over 50,000 attendees annually. Meanwhile, Woodland Gardens is an attraction not to be missed in Bridgewater. Affectionately referred to as “the duck pond,” by locals, this urban park has it all - swimming pools, a pond, walking trails, and even a museum, the DesBrisay Museum. Further, as part of Lunenburg County, Bridgewater is less than 20 minutes from the idyllic fishing town of Lunenburg, which offers even more attractions, like Bachman’s Beach, Second Peninsula Provincial Park, the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, Ironworks Distillery, and of course, the historic Lunenburg Waterfront. More than the city’s cultural attractions, economic opportunities, proximity to Lunenburg, and excellent infrastructure, Bridgewater also happens to be affordable. A low cost of living makes it particularly attractive, especially for those unable to afford housing in the Halifax Regional Municipality, one of the most expensive parts of Nova Scotia.

Quality and diversity of education in Bridgewater

The South Shore Regional Centre for Education operates the public elementary, junior, and secondary schools in Bridgewater and the surrounding communities. Two public schools in Bridgewater are Bridgewater Elementary School and Bridgewater Junior High School. Park View Education Centre, which serves grades 10 through 12 and also has an International Baccalaureate program, can be found in the northern part of Bridgewater. As part of Nova Scotia’s Acadian school system, the province’s Francophone school board, Conseil scolaire acadien provincial, operates a French-language school, the Centre Scolaire de la Rive-Sud in nearby Cookville. Private school options near Bridgewater include Bluenose Academy, Lunenburg County Independent School, and Class Afloat - West Island College International. Meanwhile, when it comes time to attend post-secondary school, the nearest option is Nova Scotia Community College’s Lunenburg campus. Otherwise, just over an hour away in Wolfville lies Acadia University, and two hours away in Halifax, you will find several major universities and colleges, including Dalhousie University, St. Mary’s University, Mount Saint Vincent University, NSCAD University, University of King’s College, and the Atlantic School of Theology.

Quality of infrastructure for Bridgewater

Bridgewater offers excellent infrastructure for a town of its size. First, Bridgewater has offered public transportation services through Bridgewater Transit since 2017. This transit system includes a series of local bus routes. For travel outside of Bridgewater, Maritime Bus has a stop in Bridgewater that can take passengers to Halifax, Wolfville, New Glasgow, and beyond. In fact, Maritime Bus has stops all over Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and eastern Quebec. Via Rail does not operate train service to Bridgewater. That said, there is a stop two hours away in Halifax, with routes that can take passengers from Halifax to Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and even Canada’s West Coast. Speaking of Halifax, the largest airport to Bridgewater is Halifax Stanfield International Airport, which is approximately two hours by car from Bridgewater. Since most major transportation options are in Halifax, the majority of Bridgewater residents choose to get around by car. Thankfully, they are well-poised to do so due to Bridgewater’s prime location on Highway 103. This provincial highway connects Bridgewater to both Halifax and Yarmouth. Meanwhile, smaller routes 325 and 331 also run through Bridgewater. As for healthcare, the town of Bridgewater is served by the South Shore Regional Hospital. This hospital is one of the largest on the South Shore and provides most standard services, including emergency services.

The BPS works in conjunction with the Neighbourhood Watch programs and local schools to patrol the area and keep residents safe. Emergency services can always be reached by dialling 9-1-1 and crime rates are incredibly low in Bridgewater.

Bridgewater property market

Bridgewater has a strong and stable housing market. Due to the town’s rapid growth, unaffordable housing is becoming an increasing concern. However, at the moment, it still remains affordable, especially when compared to housing prices in Halifax. Most properties for sale in Bridgewater are detached, single-family homes. Townhomes and condos are not common here, though there are a number of new homes being constructed.

Standard of living in Bridgewater

Residents of Bridgewater enjoy a high standard of living. Why? Due to the many amenities that come with living here. From top-notch schools and a full-service hospital to plenty of cultural festivals, recreational activities, beaches, and parks, there is so much to love about living here. Plus, it’s located on the water right next to the world-renowned port town of Lunenburg and is a convenient distance from Halifax, Wolfville, and Yarmouth.

Something wonderful about Bridgewater

Bridgewater has a long history that begins with the Mi'kmaq people. Artifacts that have been uncovered reveal that the Mi’kmaq inhabited the land for thousands of years prior to European settlement. European settlement in Bridgewater began earlier than in other parts of Nova Scotia when French explorer Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons arrived in the area in 1604. By the middle of the seventeenth century, a small French settlement had been erected on the LaHave River. This village continued to grow over the next two centuries and in the middle of the nineteenth century, development took off. Due to the Industrial Revolution, Bridgewater became a hub for a variety of industries, and as such a lumber manufacturing mill, a carding mill, a foundry, a gristmill, and a tannery were all established. This reputation as being an industrial hub continued into the twentieth century, with another lumber mill opening, along with Acadia Gas Engines company’s marine inboard motor manufacturing facilities and Michelin’s tire factory. It’s no wonder that Bridgewater has earned the name “The Main Street of the South Shore,” what with its booming commercial and industrial sector.
