Description
Exceptional value in Hammond Bay — this is an opportunity to own an ocean view home on a private quarter-acre lot in one of Nanaimo's most naturally connected coastal neighbourhoods, priced to attract immediate interest. The location defines the lifestyle here. Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point Park are both within walking distance — two of the city's most beloved natural spaces, offering seawall walks, forest trails, and open water access on any given morning. Hammond Bay Elementary is a short walk for families with younger children. A major transit route nearby keeps the broader city accessible when you need it. North Nanaimo's full range of shopping, dining, and everyday services is just a few minutes by car, keeping the practical side of daily life well within reach without sacrificing the quiet that this part of the city is known for. The home sits elevated above the bay at Morningside Park, capturing ocean views from a spacious deck that extends naturally from the dining nook — an easy, seamless transition between inside and out that makes the water view part of daily living rather than something reserved for weekends. Large windows draw natural light deep into the main living areas, keeping the interior bright and open throughout the day. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room with warmth and character through the cooler months. The layout is comfortable and well-considered. A self-contained suite provides flexibility for extended family, guests, or supplementary rental income without compromising the flow of the main home. The lower portion of the quarter-acre lot offers a level parking area with dedicated space for an RV, boat, or utility trailer — practical capacity that coastal lots of this size rarely provide. Tasteful updates throughout mean the home is ready to live in from day one. The setting, the views, and the walkability to two of Nanaimo's finest parks make this a rare offering at this price in Hammond Bay. (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.
