Neighbourhoods
Three places, three ways to live
Choosing the street matters as much as choosing the house. Here is what each part of town is really like.
Harbourside
Boats, cafés and the ferry ten minutes away. Harbourside suits people who want to walk everywhere and hear the water at night. Homes are mostly two and three bedrooms, and the best ones rarely reach the open market.
- Typical price
- $420,000 to $620,000
- Good for
- Walkers, sailors, second homes
- Walk to
- The marina, the market, the ferry
Old Town
Stone streets, the lighthouse and the oldest houses in the county. Expect character, thick walls and a few quirks. Planning rules are strict here, so I check what you can change before you fall for a place.
- Typical price
- $380,000 to $780,000
- Good for
- Character homes, families near the school
- Walk to
- The lighthouse, the library, two good bakeries
The Hill
Space, gardens and the view over the bay. The Hill is where families move when they need a fourth bedroom and a quieter road. It is a short drive into town and an even shorter one to the beach paths.
- Typical price
- $560,000 to $1.2M
- Good for
- Families, gardeners, home offices
- Walk to
- The coast path and the hill school

Viewings handled
I host every viewing, follow up every buyer and tell you what they really said.
What clients say
We were buying from Toronto and could only fly in once. Maren did six video viewings, told us which house had a damp problem, and had the paperwork ready when we landed.
Priya and Daniel R.Bought in Harbourside She priced our house honestly, not to win the listing. It sold in nineteen days to the second family who saw it, and we never had a weekend ruined by viewings.
Tom WhitfieldSold in Old Town First-time buyers, no idea what we were doing. Maren explained every step in plain words and answered texts at nine at night without making us feel silly.

About Maren
I grew up on The Hill and sold my first house on Quay Street
I started Harbour & Hill in 2012 after eight years at a big agency, because I wanted to look after fewer clients properly. I still answer my own phone, host my own viewings and write every listing myself.
When I am not working I am usually on the coast path with Juno, my very muddy spaniel.

Questions
Good to know
Something else on your mind? Ask in the form below and I will reply the same day.
How much does it cost to sell with you?
My fee is a percentage of the sale price, agreed in writing before we list, and you pay nothing unless the house sells. Photography, the floor plan and the listing video are included.
Can I buy a home without visiting first?
Yes, and many of my buyers do. I run live video viewings, send a written report on each house, and work with a local lawyer who handles signing by courier or e-signature. Most overseas buyers visit once, before or after the offer.
How long does a sale usually take?
From accepted offer to keys, plan for eight to twelve weeks. A cash buyer can be quicker. I keep a shared timeline so you always know what is next and who is doing it.
Do you help with rentals?
I sell homes. If you want to rent yours out after buying, I will introduce you to a property manager I trust and stay in touch while it settles.
What areas do you cover?
Harbourside, Old Town and The Hill, plus the villages along the coast road. If your home is outside those, I will tell you honestly and recommend someone who knows that patch.
