With a variety of property types, price ranges, and styles—from ocean view condos to charming character homes—homes in this area appeal to an assortment of different buyers.
Qualicum Beach, the largest community in the area, showcases the greatest range, including beautiful bungalows and ranchers, estate homes with ocean views, and small condos in central locations.
