Chemainus BC Real Estate and Homes

Chemainus, British Columbia, Canada is a city that is located on in the Chemainus River Valley on the East Coast of Vancouver Island. What started as a logging town is now a bustling little city with a population of about 3,000. Chemainus is now famous for their outdoor murals and art, as it has 39 outdoor murals on display through the city.

The outdoor gallery has spawned many local businesses such as a theatre, eateries, and even antiques dealers that cater to the visitors that come to see the murals. The town seemed as if it was going to shut down when the sawmill folded in the early 1980s, but the murals helped to bring new life and new visitors to the town.

For those that like the seaside village feel, Chemainus is perfect as it is situated on the coast of Vancouver Island. The city is small enough that you get a wonderful, small town feel that is quaint and comfortable, but you also still have all of the amenities that you need for day to day life.

Chemainus is a great area for those that want a city with tons of local character and local flavor, but that may not want to live in a remote, lowly populated village. This area does offer a wide range of residential properties, with single family homes being the most common.

This is a beautiful town for those that love the outdoors and want beautiful views when they wake up every day. For those that are looking for a more metropolitan or big city feel, you may be disappointed as Chemainus is still a relatively small town in the grander scheme of things.
