Buying a Home in Dieppe, NB 2025 – Acadian Suburb of Moncton Guide

Dieppe median ~$345K. NB transfer tax 1% = $3,450. Moncton's fast-growing Acadian suburb with new construction and excellent schools.

Dieppe is Moncton's Acadian-majority francophone suburb — the fastest-growing municipality in New Brunswick by population percentage, and increasingly the address of choice for professional families seeking new construction, excellent schools, and a vibrant Acadian cultural identity. Dieppe sits immediately east of Moncton, sharing the Greater Moncton Metropolitan Area's economic benefits while maintaining a distinct francophone character.

Dieppe: Greater Moncton's Premium Suburb

With a median home price around $345,000 — slightly above Greater Moncton's average — Dieppe commands a modest premium reflecting its newer housing stock, better school rankings, and strong community planning. The flat NB transfer tax of 1.0% applies uniformly: $3,450 on a $345,000 Dieppe purchase.

Dieppe's Champlain Place mall (Atlantic Canada's largest mall), Costco, and extensive commercial development along Champlain Street make it a retail destination for the entire Greater Moncton area. This commercial tax base supports municipal services while keeping residential property taxes competitive.
