Parksville Real Estate
Real estate in Parksville, as whole, including a variety of property types—most significantly, single-family detached homes. This is true of the properties that line the waterfront, which include both multi-family and single-family homes. The cottages in Parksville, such as those at Beach Acres Resort, make for ideal vacation properties, as they tend to be smaller in square footage. In contrast, waterfront properties also include the multi-million dollar estate-sized homes, which offer residents luxurious upgrades, large lots, and custom features. When it comes to new construction homes for sale, these are typically built in more modern architectural styles, as opposed to the classic West Coast, and this extends to the condos and townhouses on the market, as well. While direct beach access is not always guaranteed of a waterfront property, these homes do feature priceless views of the Strait of Georgia and great neighbourhoods.
