Description
Northern Nanaimo without the price tag. Are you looking for a newer home with extra space but need it to be affordable? Investing? The numbers are compelling. The property is currently tenant occupied at market rents providing a high cap rate. Located in Long Lake Heights, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of living space on a private 0.30-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. The bright upper level features an open-concept design with large windows, a spacious living area, quartz countertops in the kitchen, and access to a sunny south-facing deck with mountain views. The main floor layout is ideal for families, with the primary bedroom featuring its own ensuite, a second bedroom, and a full bathroom all on the same level. Downstairs offers additional flexibility with a large recreation room, third bedroom, bathroom, and laundry area—perfect for teenagers, guests, a home office, or extended family. Major updates have already been completed, including roof, Hardi-plank siding, vinyl windows, and a 3-zone ductless heat pump. While there is still room to add your own cosmetic touches, the heavy lifting has been done. Located within walking distance of Uplands Park Elementary and Wellington Secondary and just minutes from shopping, restaurants, recreation, and Long Lake, this is an opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Nanaimo's most desirable areas at a great entry point. Whether you're looking for a family home, an investment property, or an affordable entry into Northern Nanaimo, this home deserves a closer look. (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.
