Description

Prime Location & Charming Rancher in the University District Welcome to 130 Wildlife Pl, a solid 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rancher situated on a quiet street in one of Nanaimo’s most convenient pockets. This home sits on a rare, flat 8,000+ sq. ft. lot featuring a beautifully planned, mature English-style garden and a private gazebo—perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The location offers an incredible lifestyle: a 15-minute walk to the Aquatic and Ice Centres, and just minutes from VIU, NDSS, and Nanaimo Christian School. Westwood Lake and Downtown are also just a short drive away. Inside, the home is bright and move-in ready, featuring a functional open layout, a cozy gas fireplace, and a spacious double garage with a workbench. While perfectly comfortable as-is, it offers a wonderful ''canvas'' for those looking to add their personal touch and modern updates over time. A fantastic opportunity for families, retirees, or investors seeking a well-maintained home with great bones in a top-tier location. (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.
