Description

Welcome to #6, 1906 Bowen Road at The Willows, an end unit tucked away from Bowen Road that has been incredibly well cared for by the same owner, who has clearly taken pride in this home. You are greeted by your own private walk in entry, leading into a bright and comfortable space with an updated kitchen and bathroom, so there is truly nothing left to do but move in. The spacious laundry room offers room to breathe, something not always found in a home like this. Out back, the private patio faces southeast, soaking up natural light for most of the day and giving you a peaceful spot to relax or entertain. With neighbours on just one side, a dedicated storage locker, and parking right outside your door, day to day living here is simple and stress free. And the location truly cannot be beat, sitting in one of Nanaimo's most convenient spots, close to the hospital, right on a bus route, and just minutes from shopping and everyday amenities. This is a home that offers comfort, convenience, and genuine pride of ownership all in one place. (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

74

7/9 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.
