Chemainus Real Estate

Chemainus is probably most well-known for its beautiful murals, an initiative that was initially started to boost tourism in the area. As a smaller community, real estate listings in Chemainus are more limited, though there is still quite a selection of properties (in style, location, and features) for prospective homebuyers. Full duplexes are an excellent choice for those searching for a Chemainus home, as this property type allows for a few different variations: the chance to rent both sides, one side, or none at all (for those who require the additional space). Duplexes here are typically renovated single-family homes.

Explore Chemainus Full Duplexes For Sale

Residents of Chemainus love the community for a few main reasons: its location on the water and the exceptional views that come with that, the artistic vibe of those who live there, and the short commute times to larger communities. Those who work in Nanaimo can easily get to work via the highway, without sacrificing the small-town feel that residents move here for.

When it comes to ocean views, this is one of the most sought-after aspects of a property for sale in Chemainus. Residential areas are positioned close to the water, which means that there are many homes on the market that might have the exact location that a homebuyer desires. Half duplexes are found in the same residential areas as single-family homes, which means the same distance to the water and the oceanfront parks. Stocking Creek Falls, another area highlight, is located in the neighbouring community of Saltair.
