Live Nanaimo!

Posted Sep 5, 2007 @ 12:49 pm, Viewed by 233 Visitors, Read 235 Times.

Nanaimo is becoming one of the most popular places to live, work, and play on Vancouver Island. This trend is due to Nanaimo’s comfortable climate, flourishing job market, and affordable real estate. Many young families are also choosing the city for its excellent school system, and expanding facilities at Malaspina University-College.

Not to mention the senior population look to retire to our island paradise.

The Harbour City is well connected to the lower mainland and international markets acting as a transportation hub with extensive ferry and air service. The city also has a thriving port facility operated by the Nanaimo Port Authority, which regularly harbours international container and cruise ships.

Steady growth in recent years has helped diversify Nanaimo's economy, and boosted demand for retail and wholesale trade, construction, and manufacturing. Technology companies and government services have also expanded local operations, bringing a wide variety of new jobs to the city.

Real estate near the city center is in high demand, with a variety of new condo projects, loft housing developments, and commercial expansions underway. Nanaimo's downtown revitalization project is going strong, and the recently built 800 seat performing arts facility, the Port Theatre, is helping attract investment and broadening the city's cultural profile.

You forgot to mention the amazing real estate web developer that calls Nanaimo its home... You make some great points. I've like all over Vancouver Island and in the Lower Mainland (arguably the best area to live in the world) and Nanaimo offers so much. You are a short ferry ride to a major metropolis with all of its culture. As well, you can travel for the same amount of time and find some of the best camping, hiking, skiing, and fishing in Canada. Real estate values have been steadily climbing as more people throughout Canada and around the world discover Nanaimo.

The camping and hiking here IS the best.

10 stars? I think we have a biased opinion here (Nick)! Kidding aside, every picture I've seen of Nanaimo, and every article I've read makes me want to spend a weekend there. Nice article.
