Clare is the heart of Nova Scotia's Acadian Shore, a string of bilingual Acadian villages along the shores of St. Marys Bay (Baie Sainte-Marie). Housing ranges from affordable starter homes and classic Acadian properties in villages like Meteghan, Saulnierville, and Church Point, to oceanfront homes and cottages along the bay, to rural acreages a short drive inland.

Home to Université Sainte-Anne, a busy fishing and boatbuilding industry, and beaches like Mavillette, Clare offers a close-knit community with a rich culture and a slower pace of life. Well-priced homes continue to attract steady interest from local buyers and newcomers alike, so it pays to have a local agent on your side.
