Upper Lantzville Real Estate

Upper Lantzville homes are located directly north of Nanaimo, beyond where the Parkway connects to the Island Highway. This part of Lantzville sits on the south side, with forested hills that rise up from the water. There's a more rural atmosphere to Upper Lantzville, but it maintains the same quiet and relaxed lifestyle of the lower half. What draws many to this town is the complementary blend of both its tranquil atmosphere and easy access to Nanaimo's many jobs, amenities, and services. Homebuyers looking at this community are more likely to find long roads with oversized lots and wonderful homes tucked away behind tall trees.

Upper Lantzville Real Estate

Because of its location and small commercial district, real estate in Lantzville, BC is comprised of primarily single-family homes. These houses sit at a higher elevation than those in Lower Lantzville, which means residents can experience sprawling ocean and forest views from their front door. The wooded lots offer privacy, and most properties are tucked away from the main roads. In fact, there is hardly any traffic in the area at all, as visitors are more likely to visit Lower Lantzville for the beautiful beach parks.

Homes for sale in Upper Lantzville are good mixture of gorgeous older homes and new, contemporary builds, with large lots and luxury upgrades being a common feature. If a waterfront Lantzville home is what you're searching for, check out our blog post with helpful tips first!
