Old City district
The Old City Quarter is a small piece of the Old City, closest to downtown Nanaimo. It's where most of the boutiques and restaurants are, and some apartments too.
The "Old City" refers to everything north and west of Albert St., to Pine St. and Comox Rd.
This is considered by many to be the finest real estate in Nanaimo, with about 20 city blocks (see blue regions in the map below) of well-maintained craftsman bungalows, a police station, bus terminals, restaurants, shopping, and all the historic interest of old Nanaimo.
Along bus routes? Yes.
