Living in Alberni Inlet offers a mix of waterfront scenery, outdoor recreation, and close access to Port Alberni’s services. The inlet is known for fishing, boating, and its sheltered coves, making it attractive to families, retirees, and those who enjoy life by the water. Housing includes waterfront cottages, ocean view homes, and rural acreages along the shoreline. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I track actual market value and market movement so you can see what housing and daily life in Alberni Inlet are really like.
