Chemainus Real Estate

Real estate in Chemainus is primary single-family homes, which includes both new construction properties and charming ranchers—with construction dates going back to the 1930s and 1940s. Half duplexes for sale tend to be newer homes (at least comparatively), with many being built in the 1990s and the 2000s. Units in half duplex homes typically have been updated recently, and often feature square footage between 1,200 and 2,500 square feet, though larger duplexes are more common.

Explore Chemainus Half 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.
