Nanaimo living with room to choose

Diver Lake, Nanaimo is not a single-format neighbourhood: duplexes and condos both trade here regularly, across 12 active listings. The middle of the market sits at $724,000. That tracks the Nanaimo median closely, so the choice here is about the street rather than the budget. Most of the stock is new, built around 2021.

Space costs about $394 per square foot.

The closest bus stop is about 4 minutes away on foot, with groceries about 16 minutes, the nearest park about 2 minutes, a school about 7 minutes.
