The Harbour City: A Central Island Lifestyle
Condo living in Nanaimo offers a quintessential Vancouver Island lifestyle. Known as the "Harbour City," Nanaimo is defined by its stunning, active waterfront and its central location, making it the primary hub for transportation and services in the region. It's a city that combines a relaxed, coastal atmosphere with the amenities of a growing urban centre.
A Vibrant and Walkable Waterfront
The heart of Nanaimo is its beautiful harbour, which features a scenic seawall, marinas, and the historic Bastion. The downtown core and Old City Quarter are highly walkable, offering a charming collection of independent shops, pubs, and restaurants. From here, you can easily catch a foot ferry to explore the beautiful Newcastle and Protection Islands.
Gateway to Island Adventure
Nanaimo's central location on the Island Highway makes it the perfect gateway to adventure. You are just a short drive away from world-class hiking at Mount Benson, beautiful beaches at Parksville, and the surf-town vibe of Tofino. With two major BC Ferries terminals, access to and from the Lower Mainland is frequent and easy, making it a convenient and desirable place to live.
