This community has some of the best waterfront homes. Luxury home buyers in Nanaimo often turn to this area first because of the new development options, the beautiful views, and the community itself. However, land is a bit harder to find now than it was here, making it a great place to live if you want to invest.
Another location to visit and check out along the waterfront is Brechin Hill. It has some fantastic condos located along the waterfront. However, you will also find some fantastic homes including custom built properties and historically charming homes. A nice benefit here, especially for weekend residents or commuters is the easy access to the BC Ferries terminal.
Perhaps one of the most popular of areas because it is larger, is Departure Bay. It is also one of the most diverse communities in the area. Homes range widely in style and size here. You’ll find everything from starter homes to large, waterfront luxury homes. Some nice subdivisions in the area are Lynburn Estates and Sherwood Forest, but you’ll also find a number of smaller communities as well. These homes range from new to moderately aged with many being built in the late 1980s.
