One of the benefits that today’s homebuyer has when buying real estate on Vancouver Island is having access to the water. You can enjoy ample oceanfront real estate opportunities along the western coast. On the other hand, you could fall in love with one of the many beautiful bays here on the eastern coast, or a home on the Strait of Georgia. The prospect of waterfront living can be an exciting opportunity for homebuyers. If you’ve been thinking about buying a home on Vancouver Island, waterfront real estate could be your ideal market segment for several reasons.

Waterfront Provides Access
Vancouver Island has something for everyone. You can choose to live in one of the larger communities, or one of the more historically charming towns here. On the other hand, you may want to choose a home based on the amenities available to you. Waterfront homes offer it all, and you’ll likely find options that fit every need. Buyers seeking waterfront homes will find themselves looking in Nanaimo, Chemainus, Duncan, or one of the several other coastal cities.
• The rugged, natural beauty of this area can provide for some stunning views and unique homes propped on the mountain or hillside. These are some of the best homes for those who want privacy.
• Choosing one that offers waterfront access may give you access for your boat. Several areas offer docking options right outside your home.
• Golf courses, fishing excursions, and modern amenities are available throughout the region. You can choose, for example, to live near to a golf course with a view of the bay. Or, you can select to live in a downtown condo with fantastic fitness amenities, onsite restaurants, all while being within walking distance to area recreation.
