Description

Rarely does a property offer this much space while remaining so connected to the city. Set on approx. 1.61 acres in Nanaimo’s Uplands area, 3575 Uplands Drive offers room to dream, create, and grow. Schools, shopping, restaurants, parks, and major amenities are just minutes away, yet the setting feels private and tucked away. The property features open green space, mature trees, garden potential, a pool area, multiple decks, and room to explore ideas such as a barn, horses, or hobby farming. The four-bedroom home offers generous living areas, an additional kitchen with suite potential, and flexible spaces ready to adapt to your vision. A garage, workshop, and ample storage provide space for vehicles, projects, tools, and equipment. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare—a private acreage where imagination has room to grow, all within the heart of the city. Measurements are approximate; verify if important.

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.
