The Pleasant Valley area is in north Nanaimo, roughly between Mostar Road and Woodgrove Mall (see the interactive map below). It features some older properties with large lots, especially around Metral Drive and the old E&N railway - but there are also a lot of new homes being built on smaller lots that were subdivided from the original parcels. You can also find townhomes both new and old, and some of the most sought-after manufactured home parks in the city.
The natural jewel of the neighbourhood is Brannen Lake, a 270-acre lake known for its calm conditions that allow for water skiing; there is a public boat launch beside a small beach with a swimming area and dock (see photo later on this page) at the end of Dunster Road.
A couple blocks from the beach/ramp is the Lakeside Estates neighbourhood with its 1996-2008 builds - also near to the Black Bear Pub.
I would be happy to view a home in Pleasant Valley with you. Call or email me anytime.

I've compiled all of the building stratas in this neighbourhood and placed them onto the interactive map below. (The map is easier to use on screens larger than a phone.) You can click the pins to see a photo and a link to a page about each strata. The same list of stratas appears below the map, too.
