Description
Welcome to Pacifica, one of Nanaimo’s most well-known concrete waterfront residences. Ideally positioned just steps from the downtown seawall and Swy-a-Lana Lagoon, this location offers easy access to shopping, dining, the hullo ferry, and more. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo offers 1159 sqft of comfortable living space with a bright, open-concept design. Hardwood flooring runs through the main living area, complemented by a well-appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, a functional island, and a breakfast bar with additional workspace and storage. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace with a striking stone surround, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Step out onto the large covered deck to enjoy unobstructed 180-degree views of Nanaimo’s inner harbour, an ideal space for outdoor seating, planters, and taking in the ocean air and active harbour year-round. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a 4-piece ensuite. Additional features include in-suite laundry, a storage locker, and one parking stall. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (id:63159)

How this is calculated
Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.
Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.
Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
