Westwood Lake area

Westwood Lake is WAY up the hill from Downtown Nanaimo

The area called "Westwood" is between Westwood Lake and the Nanaimo Parkway, along Jinglepot Road's southeastern end. Jinglepot itself is very rural, except for here in the Westwood area, which features some nice residential subdivisions.

Considering how quiet and remote it feels here, the area is actually very convenient; it's only a 6-8 minute drive from downtown Nanaimo or Woodgrove Mall. The buses come up here from downtown, every hour between about 7am and 11pm.

The homes in Nanaimo's Westwood area are mostly newer models, or at least were built within the last couple of decades. There are exceptions. Some of the homes have been here since long before the Parkway made this area more accessible. Many of the homes around Westwood have exceptional views of Mt Benson, the Millstone Valley, Buttertubs Marsh, or beyond to the ocean.

Along bus routes? Yes.
