Life in Nanaimo flows between ocean views and forested trails, with a relaxed vibe that’s hard to rush. Perched on the east coast of Vancouver Island, this harbour city is known for its long waterfront, where ferries glide across Departure Bay and seaplanes buzz above. Locals stroll the Harbourfront Walkway with coffee in hand, while kayakers and dog walkers share space near the rocky shoreline. You’ll spot murals, boats, and the occasional heron—reminders that nature and city life blend seamlessly here.
Neighbourhoods like Departure Bay, Old City Quarter, and Uplands offer a mix of character homes and low-rise apartment communities, many with views of the water or forested hills. Day-to-day living is simple: shops, schools, and cafés are woven into residential pockets, and there’s no shortage of outdoor spaces to explore. Public transit connects most parts of the city, and the nearby Vancouver Island University campus adds youthful energy to the local scene.
