The University District in Nanaimo is a lively area shaped by Vancouver Island University, nearby parks, and a youthful energy that blends with long-time residents. With over 30 years of living on Vancouver Island, I have come to know this neighbourhood for both its evolving vibrancy and its strong community roots. People value the mix of education, recreation, and culture that continues to define the University District as a distinctive part of Nanaimo.
