South Jingle Pot Real Estate

The Jingle Pot area is the most RURAL real estate in Nanaimo proper. It slopes gently down from the foot of Mt Benson to the valley bottom, where the Millstream winds through grasslands. This was a farming and resource extraction area from the mid-1800s until after WWII. This SOUTH part of Jingle Pot hasn't developed all that much in the past 70 years!

There are two basic types of neighbourhood here:

1. Larger properties, many with small farms and pre-war houses: these appear mainly below (north of) Jingle Pot Rd. These are more likely to be old farmhouses, custom homes, or mobile homes on land. Many have equestrian facilities.
2. Subdivisions with homes built SINCE 1970: these are above Jingle Pot Rd closer to Westwood Lake, but also across Jingle Pot Rd, near Cathers Lake. These were usually built as spec homes but on the higher end, with interesting floorplans.

South Jingle Pot isn't a large area; it's roughly everything from the Jingle Pot Pub to the power station, up to Westwood Lake and down to Maxey Rd and East Wellington Rd.

What's with the name "Jingle Pot"?

There are two common explanations for why it's called Jingle Pot:
1) Miners and their wives used to say "There's gonna be a jingle in the pot" when they talked about payday - referring to coins placed in a vessel of some kind.
2) There was a coal mine with a crude setup for "jingling" something in a metal pot to indicate to coworkers when a load was ready to be lifted - or something.

Lots on East Wellington Rd

These 6 lots will be in the 2.5-acre range in a relatively quiet part of Nanaimo. The project was awarded its wetland area permit and ground is broken as of June 2025.

Nobody will care, but this is just north of where Coburn's Mill sat from 1908-1926; two rail lines criss-crossed this piece of land being subdivided.

Westwood estate properties

There is a plan to develop 11 estate-sized properties in the area immediately west of Westwood Lake. This is a rolling landscape, so there should be some opportunities for interesting topographical features on these properties - perhaps even some views?

The permit issued in March 2024 is number DP001313, which covers some of the permitting for developing the steep slope areas and working around watercourses. Additional permits will still need approval in the future as roads are developed.
