Small-Town Charm, Valley Lifestyle
Duncan blends small-town warmth with Cowichan Valley’s natural beauty. Condo living here means quick access to coffee shops, trails, and the scenic Cowichan River, while still being just 45 minutes from Victoria or Nanaimo. The community’s slower pace, art murals, and farmers’ markets define daily life in the Valley’s heart.
