Errington Real Estate
The small, unincorporated community of Errington is located just south of the city of Parksville, Vancouver Island, off of the Alberni Highway. A mixture of industrial, residential, and untouched land, residents of Errington enjoy the community for its spacious properties in secluded neighbourhoods, offering privacy while still being close to the city. Errington is perhaps most well-known for its natural areas and outdoor recreation, which include the gorgeous waterfalls at Englishman River Falls Provincial Park, situated right at the base of Mount Arrowsmith.

Errington Lifestyle
At a prime location between the mountains and the coast, Errington offers a lifestyle that's perfect for nature-lovers who want to get away from city life. Errington has quiet streets, many of which are small, gravel roads, that are lined with tall, sweeping pine trees. Residents love the privacy and security that this small community provides—a nice alternative to the nearby neighbours and sounds of traffic that are common features of the big city.
Despite being a smaller community, there are several points of interest in Errington. There are several campgrounds/RV parks/rental cottages for summer vacationers. For full-time residents, however, Errington is home to Errington War Memorial Hall, a concert hall that frequently hosts events and puts on performances. This is right next to the old fire hall, and also the location of the Errington Farmer's Market, which is hosted every Saturday during May through September, and even has special themes. Errington also celebrates festivals, such as Hi Neighbour Day and the Greater Errington Zucchini Race.
