Lake Cowichan Real Estate
The town of Lake Cowichan is generally regarded as one of two things: a great place to retire and the ideal community for outdoor enthusiasts. On the real estate market, vacant lots and land for sale make up a significant portion of Lake Cowichan's available listings. This is partly because the town is seeing increased development, particularly in new neighbourhoods stretching outwards from the town center. The market features lots that appeal to buyers looking to build a custom home and investors seeking vacant land zones for multiple properties. Plus, Lake Cowichan's semi-rural designation means that there are still plenty of chances to own vacant land on or near the waterfront.

Lake Cowichan is known for its welcoming community, as it often sees many campers and other visitors passing through. This is also the largest community in the region, which mean that those who live in Youbou, Caycuse, Honeymoon Bay, or any of the other settlements grab supplies and necessities from Lake Cowichan.
There are two main commercial areas in Lake Cowichan, each on opposite sides of the river. South Shore Road features local restaurants, hotels and B&Bs, and other community services, such as the library, the post office, and the seniors centre. Additionally, this part of town also has a museum and visitors centre, both located across from the charming waterfront park, Saywell Park. On the other side of the Cowichan River, on Cowichan Lake Road, residents will find the larger chain stores, including a grocery and liquor store, a gas station, and other supply stores. Other town highlights include the Cowichan Lake Recreation Centre and Laketown Ranch Music & Recreation Park.
Of course, part of the reason why many choose to live in Lake Cowichan is because of the lake and surrounding parks. The two closest are Spring Beach Recreation Site and Bear Lake Park in neighbouring Mesachie Lake. Larger parks include Gordon Bay Provincial Park and Nitinat River Provincial Park.
