Description
Looking to get into the Nanaimo market without giving up three bedrooms, a garage or a great backyard? This move-in-ready half duplex in Diver Lake offers all three! Well cared for and thoughtfully laid out, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a practical choice for first-time buyers, young families or investors. The main floor features a spacious living room with gas fireplace, separate dining area and bright kitchen with island and convenient access to the backyard. A separate laundry room and overheight single garage add to the functionality. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are together, including the primary with its own 3-piece ensuite. And then there’s the backyard! The huge fully fenced side yard offers plenty of green space for kids, pets and entertaining, along with raised garden beds, a greenhouse and storage shed. Just off the kitchen, the private partially covered patio is perfect for BBQs and relaxing outdoors. Ideally located close to schools and everyday amenities, with Long Lake, Diver Lake, Westwood Lake and Brannen Lake nearby for year-round recreation. A great opportunity to own a home with plenty of space, parking and outdoor living in a central Nanaimo 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.

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.
