The Nanaimo luxury real estate market has been booming in recent years and it’s easy to see why. This coastal city on Vancouver Island has everything a discerning home buyer could want, from gorgeous custom homes on huge lots to spectacular scenery, access to all the amenities you could ask for, and endless opportunities to live an active lifestyle. If you’re considering buying a Nanaimo luxury home, here’s where you’ll find some seriously amazing properties.


Luxury waterfront homes in Nanaimo

North Nanaimo Luxury Homes

If you’re looking for sublime scenery and easy access to all the amenities of the city, North Nanaimo is your spot. This affluent neighborhood has a wide variety of higher end homes with spacious suites, meticulously landscaped gardens and yards, and state-of-the-art amenities. Many of the single-family homes are new custom-built constructions ideally situated on quiet residential streets but just minutes away from great shopping, dining, and trails that run to the beach.

Departure Bay Luxury Homes

Departure Bay is a charming waterfront community that sits on a beautiful bay. Luxury homes in Departure Bay can be found just steps from the beach or perched on bluffs overlooking the bay. Some premium homes are also nestled in secluded areas surrounded by forest. Life here is more relaxed than it is in downtown Nanaimo, as there is less traffic and more nature to explore right on your doorstep. However, if you want a bit more excitement, you can drive just minutes to downtown or hop on the Departure Bay ferry to Vancouver.

Jinglepot Luxury Homes

Jinglepot is one of my favourite communities on Vancouver Island. I may be slightly biased though, considering I live here! However, there’s no disputing that Jinglepot has some incredible luxury homes set against the backdrop of Mt. Benson. In both North Jinglepot and South Jinglepot you’ll find large acreages, grand estates, and custom constructions surrounded by fields and forests. From peaceful rural settings to up-and-coming subdivisions, Jinglepot has it all.

Located 10km south of Nanaimo, Cedar is the perfect spot for those who love peace and privacy. Here you’ll find beautiful beaches overlooking the Gulf Islands, fragrant forests, and plenty of walking trails. Luxury homes in Cedar include gorgeous country estates, log homes, and custom-built homes on sprawling acreages. It’s just a short drive to Nanaimo, but offers tranquil rural atmosphere.
