Living in Youbou

 Youbou offers homeowners the chance to live in the middle of a beautiful, natural wooded area,  and still be only an hour or so away from both Nanaimo to the northeast, and the province's capital of Victoria to the south.

The weather in Youbou is typical of Vancouver Island, complete with generally mild winters and warm summers. Youbou's climate is one of the major reasons that this community attracts so many nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The area's mild temperatures make it easy for Youbou residents to stay active, explore the outdoors, take in the scenery and enjoy the fresh air, especially with so many beaches, campgrounds, and trails nearby. 

The parks in Youbou are also a big draw for residents. Arbutus Park, a tranquil waterfront park surrounded by green open spaces, has picnic tables, a playground, a huge sandy beach, a network of docks, and the Big Pool: a warm, protected freshwater pool for safe swimming.
