Rosstown Road Area
This is a decent neighbourhood settled mostly in the 1970's and 80's. There are a lot of mature trees, and while many houses are the standard box form, there are also funkier homes around Rosstown Rd. This area's also in the middle of almost everything, and pretty safe.
The Rosstown Road neighbourhood is a common favourite for families, because its location is convenient to most things in the city (it's a ten minute drive to downtown even less to the biggest malls). It's also close to Beban Park, a sports complex with the best (or second-best, depending on whom you ask) kids' playground in Nanaimo.
Rosstown Road is just northwest of Beban Park and southwest of Country Club mall, south of Labieux Rd.
Along bus routes? Yes.
Bad part of town? Barely.
Nearby parks: Beban Park, Diver Lake, Long Lake, Linley Valley
