Welcome to quirky Nanaimo! Where the people are friendly, the water views are plentiful and the street names are, well, just plain weird at times!

A big thanks to our weird and wonderful former Mayor, Frank Ney! He was a visionary, a leader, and had a wonderful imagination! Not only did Mayor Ney serve as Nanaimo's mayor on and off from the 1970s - 1990s, he was also a real estate developer. You will be able to immediately identify the neighbourhoods he developed or worked on because of their fun themes and unique names.

Yes, Bergen-Op-Zoom Drive is an actual street in the North end of Nanaimo! 

In the Hammond Bay/Departure Bay Area of Nanaimo you will find an entire Robin Hood themed neighbourhood. This area was developed in the late 70's

Here in Nanaimo we have been in a seller's market for some time! This seller's market is driven by low inventory and low mortgage rates. The last few homes I sold went into multiple offers and you may be surprised on why the seller choose one buyer over the next.....*hint* it's not always price!

Nanaimo is awesome!

I have lived in Nanaimo almost my whole life and have always enjoyed the proximity to oceans, lakes, rivers and mountains! These things are all very diverse and that’s what makes Nanaimo such a special place to live.

Let’s look at the Jinglepot neighbourhood and why I live here and love it!

Weird Nanaimo Names

 Jinglepot! Let’s just start with the name, who doesn’t love a fun name that is not only a road but defines an entire area in Nanaimo? Thanks to our former “Pirate Mayor” Frank Ney, who served our community in some capacity during the late 60’s all the way to 90’s. As a developer, Frank Ney, was involved in naming many streets in Nanaimo. As you get to know our wonderful community you will notice such street names
