Look Out Vancouver! Nanaimo's Knocking!


Fast Ferry Could Open The Door!

The advent of a reliable, affordable fast ferry service from downtown Nanaimo to downtown Vancouver opens up endless possibilities for Nanaimo. Suddenly, over two million people can come to Nanaimo in less time than they can cross town in Metro Vancouver.

I have often seen Vancouver, Victoria and Nanaimo as creating a triangle in one of the most perfect parts of all of God's creation. Of those three points, Nanaimo is best suited to take maximum advantage of all this piece of paradise has to offer.

We have the same delightful moderate climate with less rain and less wind than the other vertices on this perfectly located triangle. We have nothing approaching the traffic congestion either Vancouver or Victoria have to contend with. Housing is affordable, our average single detached house is priced at $350,000, and that is for a detached, three bedroom house with a yard! In fact you can still buy a single detached house for around $200,000 depending on the neighbourhood you choose.

We have downtown parking for $0.75 per hour and you can get there from the most distant suburb in less than 20 minutes! You can enjoy a delicious meal and an evening at the theatre, complete with parking and still have money left over for a nightcap and desert.

In less than 10 minutes from anywhere in the city you can access some of 2,000 acres of pristine parkland and endless trails without ever leaving the city. From wooded forests to ocean shores you can experience all that raw nature has to offer in an inviting, safe environment.

From Nanaimo you can snow ski in the morning, golf at noon and scuba dive in the afternoon all for a price that won't break your budget.

In Nanaimo you will see people you actually know, who have the time to stop and say hello and who really care about your well being.

Perhaps it is the easier going, lay back lifestyle that just fosters a warmer more inviting atmosphere or maybe it is the near-perfect lifestyle, or maybe it is just the water, but Nanaimo is truly a unique place that beckons to one and all, who once smitten choose to call Nanaimo ......... home!
