Opportunities for finding a dream home in Parksville are prevalent. The city is home to about 12,000 people. This makes it one of the larger communities in the area. It sits along Highway 19A and is between Port Alberni, Qualicum Beach, and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. It sits between the French Creek and Englishman River. Perhaps what the city is most known for is its beautiful beaches. These, especially along Craig Bay and Parksville Bay attract visitors from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Buying real estate in Parksville will give buyers an opportunity to enjoy a larger, modern town right on the waterfront.
First founded in 1791 by the Spanish, the area has long been an outpost and important trading area. The area has a large industrial component to it today, along with a substantial timber industry. The Nelson Park Railway, located here since 1901, has been an important component of the city's long success and growth.
Today, Parksville is a modern town with a strong beachfront resort area. One of the largest events here called Beachfest brings in people from around the world for sandcastle building. This "Oceanside" community also has a strong residential feel. While many people come for the beaches, they also enjoy the shopping, entertainment, and cultural activities present here. Aside from this, Parksville also has a large fishing and forestry industry. From Coombs Country Market to the Englishman River Falls Provencal Park and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, there is a great number of things to do and see here.
Perhaps the most in demand residential properties in Parksville are those along the waterfront. Single family homes and condos are the most prevalent here. Many are near to the boardwalks and vibrant beach lifestyle. Others are only a few minutes from the beach in family friendly neighborhoods. Property values here are rising at the same rate as much of the surrounding area, at about three percent per year. Demand is also growing especially for the luxurious homes along the waterfront. Finding an ideal home with ample spacious, modern amenities and incredible views of the mountains is possible in Parksville.
