On one side of the highway is the larger part of the Ladysmith real estate market: on these western edges sits the main downtown core, along with many established communities and new subdivisions. On the other side are the waterfront properties. Thanks to a large slope, many of the homes for sale on either side of Ladysmith boast ocean views.
Ladysmith is a great choice for buyers on the hunt for Vancouver Island waterfront properties. Yellowpoint is just south of Cedar, but quite close to the Ladysmith borders.
