Qualicum Real Estate

The region of Qualicum encompasses a large area. While most of the listings on the market are single-family detached properties and vacant land, there are multi-family homes available. Apartments for sale in Qualicum are almost exclusively located in the town of Qualicum Beach, primarily because this is the largest community in population, and has a more city-like atmosphere. There are a number of condo complexes within the town, each with their own unique features. Hawthorne Place, for example, is a 55+ condo building, which offers additional services such as housekeeping and meals for residents. In contrast, complexes like The Crescent and The Edgewater face the ocean, and have desirable units with excellent views of the water. These properties make for excellent full-time residences (especially for retirees) or vacation homes.
