Description

Strategic investment opportunity in one of Nanaimo's most desirable neighbourhoods. This 1.7-acre ocean-view property includes a 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offering immediate rental income with an option to add a basement suite for a great holding property while planning your next project. With R10 zoning supporting up to 16 units per hectare, the site is ideal for future townhome or duplex development. The gently sloping terrain offers excellent ocean-view exposure, and mature, saleable timber on the property provides revenue or offsets development costs.

Amenities

1/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.
