LOCATION AND COMMUNITY ROOTS
Rooted in Moncton’s North End
Cornerstone is spread across three streets: Preston Crescent (most units), Ayer Avenue (6 units) and Crestwood Drive (1 unit).
Preston Crescent was originally part of Fraser Avenue. In 1991, the Co-op petitioned the City of Moncton to rename the street in honour of Lorne Preston, who played a key role in Cornerstone’s development.
Schools, shopping plazas and essential services are all within a 5 to 10 minute walk, and other major amenities are a short drive away.
COMMUNITY LIFE
A well-run, well-cared-for community
Run by Our Members
A volunteer Board of Directors, elected by the membership, meets monthly to oversee the Co-op’s operations and ensure its continued success.
Continuous Improvements
Upgrades over the past several years include windows, roofing and many interior spaces. A full time Maintenance Technician handles ongoing repairs and upkeep.
Green Spaces
Well-kept lawns and mature trees give members beautiful places to relax and gather, and designated safe play areas keep children active outdoors.
The Event Hall
Our recently renovated Event Hall is available to rent for community groups and individuals. Rental revenue helps offset maintenance costs. Learn about The Event Hall
