About this home
Looking to get into the Nanaimo market without giving up three bedrooms, a garage or a great backyard? This move-in-ready half duplex in Diver Lake offers all three! Well cared for and thoughtfully laid out, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a practical choice for first-time buyers, young families or investors. The main floor features a spacious living room with gas fireplace, separate dining area and bright kitchen with island and convenient access to the backyard. A separate laundry room and overheight single garage add to the functionality. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are together, including the primary with its own 3-piece ensuite. And then there’s the backyard! The huge fully fenced side yard offers plenty of green space for kids, pets and entertaining, along with raised garden beds, a greenhouse and storage shed. Just off the kitchen, the private partially covered patio is perfect for BBQs and relaxing outdoors. Ideally located close to schools and everyday amenities, with Long Lake, Diver Lake, Westwood Lake and Brannen Lake nearby for year-round recreation. A great opportunity to own a home with plenty of space, parking and outdoor living in a central Nanaimo location.

What the weather is like in Nanaimo
Ten year average, 2016–2025.
- Average temperature
- 10.4°C
- Daily mean across the year.
- Yearly precipitation
- 0 mm
- On the drier side for BC.
- Bright sunshine
- 1,940 h
- Hours of sun a year, 1981–2010 average.
Averaged from the last ten complete years of Environment Canada observations at the nearest principal station, so it reflects the climate as it is now rather than a thirty year normal. Bright sunshine is the exception: it is no longer measured at these stations, so that figure is the long term average.
