Departure Bay

Located within the Greater Nanaimo metropolitan area, Departure Bay is a neighbourhood in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

Transportation

This part of Nanaimo is very car friendly. Parking is easy. In contrast, residents using public transit may find few options in Departure Bay as a result of the service's low frequency. Nonetheless, residents have access to a few bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. The bicycle is a somewhat poor means of transportation in this part of Nanaimo as bicycle riders are faced with a considerable amount of hills, and the cycling infrastructure is not especially well-developed. It is also at times difficult for people walking to get around in Departure Bay because many daily needs are sometimes challenging to carry out without a vehicle.

Services

Families will appreciate that no matter where their property is situated in Departure Bay, primary schools and daycares are close by. However, it can be challenging to access high schools without the need for a vehicle. Concerning food, it is sometimes an option for house buyers in Departure Bay to buy their groceries on foot. A limited number of restaurants and coffee shops can be found as well.

Character

Departure Bay is a very good neighbourhood to buy a home in for those who prefer a slower-paced ambience. Public green spaces, like Pipers Lagoon Park and Beach Estates Park, are very well-situated and there are over 50 of them close by for residents to check out, which makes them easy to reach. This area is very quiet overall, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue.

Housing

Around 70% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home and renters make up the remainder. In this area, most dwellings are single detached homes, while small apartment buildings and duplexes are also present in the housing stock. This area experienced its largest construction boom in the 1960s and 1970s, so most of the available properties are from this era. This neighbourhood is primarily composed of three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes.
