Edmundston, New Brunswick Apartment & House Rentals

Edmundtson is a rural community dependent on the Saint John River paper industry for its economy. Historically, the river supplied the mills with hydropower and was the destination of log drives transporting pulpwood from upstream woods. Families here are blue collar and are proud of where they come from. Houses for rent in Edmundson are for Francophone blue collar families that want to permanently establish a cozy home for themselves.
