Hammond Bay is a smallish body of water between Neck Point Park and Pipers Lagoon, but the name is used for a larger area in North Nanaimo between McGuffie Road and the Biological Station. A lot of Nanaimo's luxury homes are in this area, built to enjoy stunning ocean views.
Most of the waterfront lots were developed in the 1950s-1980s, and those homes enjoy mature landscaping and easy access to Hammond Bay Rd and its buses. There are new homes and developed vacant lots being constructed in the higher elevations all the time, looking way out over the Salish Sea to the Coastal Mountains and Vancouver. The steep slope allows for views from the upper floors of homes AND from the walk-out basements; you can imagine where the nicest basement suites in Nanaimo can be found!

Back to Nanaimo neighbourhoods
Stephenson Point
This neighbourhood straddles the north part of the mouth of Departure Bay. Many of its homes have stunning views into the bay and/or out to sea.
Most of the waterfront homes in Stephenson Point are luxurious, some with elaborate rockwork steps or ramps leading down to the street or to the rocky beach.
Stephenson Point is a 5-8 minute drive from the Departure Bay ferry terminal, a 10-13 minute drive from Downtown, and 9-12 minutes from Woodgrove Mall.
New Developments in Hammond Bay
The Ridge - Golden Oaks area
Perched up in the very attractive Glen Oaks neighbourhood, this development will include 18 half-duplex units and three detached homes. It's not yet clear whether those 3 houses will be part of the strata.
Each unit will have an attached garage. Expect a landscape with exposed bedrock, which will likely be used in attractive ways to enhance the West Coast style architecture of these modern builds.
This is a very pretty location with nice homes including many detached freehold homes and one other high-end townhome development.
Although it's perched up high, the neighbourhood is surrounded by forest and most homes do not have a view. However, when driving or walking "toward town", you will encounter some of the best ocean and island views in the city.
Golden Oaks Crescent
Current/Ongoing
This is a new subdivision just off Hammond Bay Road, a few blocks south of Pipers Lagoon. The lots and pre-sale homes were listed as early as 2018, with development continuing to this day (Feb 2024).
