The Luxury Real Estate Lifestyle on Vancouver Island Including centrally-located homes in the city or waterfront properties in rural communities, discover luxury living on Vancouver Island.

Vancouver Island Real Estate

Vancouver Island luxury homes can be found on any corner of its expansive 12,000 square miles, although a large portion of the homes are concentrated in larger towns and cities such as Qualicum Beach, Parksville, Nanaimo, and Ladysmith. Along the way, houses dot the ocean waters, surround lakes, or sit above tall cliffs. For an inner-city lifestyle, look to the condos and high-rise penthouses in the major communities or the single-family homes in family-oriented neighbourhoods. For a tranquil lifestyle, the oceanfront and lakefront estates are some of the most desirable properties on the island.

Top Vancouver Island Highlights And Amenities

Known for its relaxed pace and outdoor focus, living on Vancouver Island means all the benefits of island time, as well as moderate weather and year-round breathtaking views. Its unique ecosystem creates a sort of pocket climate for each area, and there's almost always sunshine in one town or another. Cities like Nanaimo provide job opportunities, while smaller communities appeal to nature-lovers and retirees. 

Hiking, kayaking, canoeing, ATVing and other outdoor activities are at the heart of most residents' weekend plans, and with weather to suit it, your chances of being snowed in are slim. During the warmer months, residents dip their feet in the ocean water or take a swim in one of the many area lakes. For summer fun, Sproat Lake, Cameron Lake, and Cowichan Lake are some of the warmest and most popular on the island, and provide an abundance of scenic trails, parks, and campsites in the area. 

Nanaimo's Luxury Homes

Nanaimo's luxury homes for sale have all the benefits of Vancouver Island living, with the conveniences of a city. The real estate market in Nanaimo offers more in terms of space and land compared dollar-to-dollar with Victoria and especially Vancouver, not to mention that you're still just a short ferry ride, float plane soar, or drive away. Luxury homes are commonly found in neighbourhoods such as Departure Bay and North Jingle Pot, desirable for their amenities and short distance to the downtown.

Vancouver Island Luxury Real Estate Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do all luxury homes on Vancouver Island have HOAs or strata fees?

A: HOA or strata fees are entirely dependent on the property and/or the neighbourhood. Some luxury homes. A number of condo and townhome complexes in Nanaimo, for example, have strata fees, while they are less frequently a requirement in the more rural communities.

Q: Does luxury always mean waterfront?

A: While many of the homes for sale on the Vancouver Island waterfront are luxury properties, not all luxury properties are located on the water. Luxury real estate includes the large forest and mountain estates, as well as the desirable homes in the center of communities such as Nanaimo, Parksville, or Qualicum Beach.

Q: Are luxury homes on Vancouver Island all single-family properties?

A: Single-family homes make up the majority of the luxury market, but there are some condos and townhouses (primarily new construction) that also fall under the luxury category.
