Departure Bay

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

Transportation

The favoured way to navigate this area is usually driving. It is very convenient to find a parking spot. However, the public transit system in Departure Bay is not very accessible. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is connected by a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most homes. Walking is not especially practical for house buyers in this neighbourhood as few daily needs can be carried out without having to resort to a car. The bicycle is a somewhat poor method of transportation in this area because the bicycling network is not particularly extensive, and bike riders encounter a significant amount of hills.

Services

In this part of Nanaimo, parents and their schoolchildren will typically be able to get to daycares and primary schools by walking. On the other hand, Departure Bay does not have any high schools. Regarding eating, reaching the nearest supermarket by walking is practical for some, but not all, property owners in this part of Nanaimo. There are also a few choices for those who value restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

Character

Departure Bay is a very good neighbourhood to buy a home in for those who prefer a slower-paced atmosphere. The noise levels in this part of Nanaimo are very low, as the streets are generally very peaceful. Finally, numerous locations within the neighbourhood have reasonably good access to green spaces, such as Beach Estates Park, since there are approximately 30 of them nearby for residents to explore.

Housing

About 70% of the dwellings in the neighbourhood are occupied by homeowners and 30% are rented. In this neighbourhood, roughly 55% of buildings are single detached homes, whereas the remainder are mainly small apartment buildings and duplexes. A majority of the housing growth in this area took place in the 1960s and 1970s. This neighbourhood is primarily composed of three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes.
