Yarmouth, Nova Scotia Apartment & House Rentals

The geographical hub of southwestern Nova Scotia is the town of Yarmouth. With the addition of staff and students from nearby areas, the town's population of nearly 7,000 residents doubles on weekdays. For the 70,000 people who live in the tri-counties of Yarmouth, Digby and Shelburne, Yarmouth is the financial, industry, education, and lifestyle hub. Yarmouth's harbor, situated in the heart of the largest lobster fishing grounds in the world, is central to the history and growth of Yarmouth.

Yarmouth and the Acadian Coasts have a history and economy traditionally connected to fisheries and associated businesses, including Canada's most profitable fishing industry. The city country has an oceanic atmosphere so any major heat or cold variations are tempered by marine influences. There is no snow accumulation during the winters because of the warm temperature. Although summers are relatively warm, precipitation is necessary and spread throughout the year. Houses for rent in Yarmouth tend to be on the cheaper side and favor small families that are involved in the fishing industry.
