Living in Central Nanaimo provides quick access to the city’s core, the hospital, and major schools, making it a practical choice for families, students, and retirees. The area includes a mix of established neighbourhoods, condos, and newer developments, offering a range of housing options at more affordable prices compared to oceanfront districts. 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 Central Nanaimo are really like.
