Where Old & New Meet
Though not formally recognized, Old City is split into two fairly distinct regions: the downtown core, and the historic district across the bridge.
Recent efforts to attract visitors to the downtown business district have been extremely successful, and downtown Old City is a favourite location for Nanaimo locals and explorers alike.
Historic District
Across the bridge, additional businesses and hundreds of historic homes can be found along the streets of Old City, many of which boast a heritage home designation. Revitalization grants from the city encourage heritage renovations of both businesses and homes in Old City, helping permanently preserve the unique architectural diversity of the area. In many cases, Old City businesses double as the owners’ private homes, serving as a creative mortgage-helper solution.
