Departure bay has some amazing oceanviews and some very high end homes the closer you get to the waterfront. There is a nice mix of old and new in Departure Bay and the location is great; close to Departure Bay ferry terminal, downtown Nanaimo with lots of access to grocery shopping and malls close-by. There are some beautiful parks in the area; access to Linley Valley which is one of Nanaimo’s hidden gems is in your backyard. In Linley Valley you will find acres of hiking trails with some spectacular viewpoints.
