What Apartments Are Available for Rent in Lantz Right Now?
The main purpose-built rental option in Lantz is Brickline North, JETCO’s 77-unit apartment building in East Hants offers a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units with one or two bathrooms and dens. With Brickline North now nearly fully leased, construction is already underway on Brickline South, adding another 77 units that will bring more rental options to the growing Lantz community.
Lantz has seen significant residential growth over the past decade. For people who want to stay in East Hants but aren’t looking to buy a home, newer purpose-built apartments offer another way to put down roots here. Brickline North is part of that change, with Brickline South set to add more rental homes as the community continues to grow.
Brickline North is built, owned, and operated directly by JETCO. For residents, that means the people responsible for building the property remain involved in caring for it. JETCO handles property management and maintenance, bringing the same attention to the building after residents move in as it does during construction.
Where Is Brickline North?
Brickline North is located in Lantz, near Highway 102 at Exit 8A — the Lantz Interchange — about 30 kilometres north of Halifax. For people who already live in East Hants, its biggest advantage may simply be that moving into a newer apartment doesn’t have to mean leaving the community behind.
Family, friends, familiar shops, schools, recreation and everyday routines can all remain close to home. The location also works well for residents whose jobs take them to Halifax Stanfield International Airport, toward Truro, or elsewhere around East Hants. Halifax Stanfield International Airport is about a ten-minute drive away, while Highway 102 provides direct access toward Halifax, Burnside and Dartmouth when work, appointments or a day in the city take you in that direction.
Brickline North offers the opportunity to change your home without necessarily changing the rest of your life.
A Home Designed for Everyday Comfort
Most apartment buildings in Nova Scotia are wood-frame. Brickline North is built with ICF — insulated concrete form — where concrete is poured between rigid foam panels to create the walls and floor assemblies. It’s more expensive and slower to build, and it produces a fundamentally different place to live. What matters most to residents though, is how those choices can make an apartment feel day to day.
Three of the biggest benefits are:
- A quieter home. Concrete floors and ICF exterior walls help reduce sound transmission, creating a greater sense of separation from the activity around you. Whether you’re working from home, relaxing in the evening or simply enjoying a slow weekend morning, that added quiet can make a meaningful difference.
- Comfort throughout the seasons. ICF walls provide strong insulation, while in-floor radiant heating delivers gentle, even warmth underfoot. Together, they help create a comfortable indoor environment through Nova Scotia winters and changing seasons.
- Built with the long term in mind. Concrete and ICF construction were chosen for durability as well as comfort and energy efficiency. It’s part of JETCO’s approach to creating homes intended to be cared for and enjoyed for years to come.
Why Rent in Lantz & East Hants?
The case for East Hants comes down to space, newness, and quiet — without giving up access to the city. Halifax’s rental vacancy rate has sat well under 2% for years, which means less choice, older stock, and a lot of competition for every unit. Along the Highway 102 corridor, renters generally find newer construction, more room, and parking that isn’t a fight — while having access to the same amenities.
East Hants is also one of Nova Scotia’s fastest-growing communities, and it’s growing in the ways that make daily life better: new coffee shops and restaurants, more shopping close to home, the East Hants Sportsplex and Aquatic Centre, parks and river trails, and the schools and services a community leans on. It’s a place that’s filling in with the things you want and need.
What’s Nearby: Schools, Recreation & Daily Life
Lantz and neighbouring Elmsdale cover the practical bases. Maple Ridge Elementary is right in Lantz, with middle and high school (Hants East Rural High) a short drive away, so families can cover the school years without a mid-childhood move. The East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz anchors minor hockey, skating, and community programs, and the East Hants Aquatic Centre in Elmsdale adds a pool and family swim. Elmsdale, about five minutes south, is the corridor’s service hub for groceries, pharmacy, and weekly errands.
For time outdoors, the surrounding area offers access to the Shubenacadie River system, trails and green spaces. Whether that means an evening walk, getting the kids outside, or spending a weekend closer to nature, outdoor space is part of everyday life here rather than something that always requires a trip into the city.

What is ICF construction, and why does it matter for renters?
ICF (insulated concrete form) construction pours concrete between foam panels to form the walls and floors. For renters it means much better soundproofing between units, higher energy efficiency, in-floor radiant heat, and a fire-resistance rating wood-frame buildings can’t match. Brickline North is built to ICF standards throughout.
Who owns and manages Brickline North?
Brickline North is owned and operated by JETCO — a developer with a 20-plus-year track record of building, owning, and managing its own properties. JETCO builds apartments in established communities, with a focus on comfort, durability, and everyday livability — and because it stays on as owner and manager, that same standard carries through long after you move in.
