About Real Estate in Qualicum Beach
Based in beautiful Qualicum Beach, NANCY SMITH is well versed in all areas between Bowser to the North, and Ladysmith to the South. Clients will find something special to suit their needs, whether it is our amazing ocean-front properties, the Equestrian acreage, mobiles on land to Strata buildings and properties. For your relocation needs, real estate in the Qualicum Beach area offers waterfront, or mountain and ocean views, or forest recluse or an active downtown shopping location. There is also a selection of building lots available. If you’re looking for a small-town community where you can bump into your neighbour on the street, and know the local shop keepers, then this could be paradise found, for you.
Many potential home buyers I meet, say that they have raised their kids in the city and have enjoyed a great career in an urban setting. When it is time for retirement, people strive for a slower pace in a more neutral setting, with many recreational opportunities. Qualicum Beach and its adjacent communities are close to many interesting places to visit and explore. Certainly we have an abundance of golf courses, marinas, parks, lakes, recreational camping locations and the major Parkway to travel to most Vancouver Island destinations. Continued below...
But if you need to get away, West Jet connections are about 40 minutes away in Comox and Nanaimo, while Air Canada flights are accessed through the Nanaimo airport in Cassidy, just south of Nanaimo. Qualicum Beach also has our own small airport with daily connections to Vancouver. The BC Ferry ride to Vancouver is found at either Departure Bay or Duke Point in Nanaimo, or enjoy a trip down to Victoria and catch the ferry at Swartz Bay. There are also ferry connections to Washington, USA. (2021 Covid adjustments)
The Gulf Islands are close at hand for enjoyable day trips while Tofino and Ucluelet are about a 2 hour drive away, as is Victoria. Excellent downhill and cross-country skiing is only about 50 minutes away in Mt Washington. In the winter season here, you can ski in the morning, then garden, walk the beach or trails, or perhaps even go sailing in the afternoon. The quality of life here really is quite exceptional.
