The rooms · an oceanside neighbourhood in north Nanaimo
Hammond Bay
The character of the place
The coast, a little closer.
Hammond Bay follows Nanaimo’s coastal hills, where a bend in the road can open onto water and distant mountains. Shoreline parks give the area much of its character, while the residential streets above them have their own quieter rhythm. The appeal is easy to understand if a walk near the ocean belongs in your everyday routine.
The homes here
Detached homes are an important part of the area, with established houses, substantial renovations and more contemporary designs. Sloping sites create opportunities for outlooks and multiple levels, but a view home and a home with a level garden are not always the same thing.
Gillette & Associates
Our perspective
Our attention goes to how a home uses its setting. A photograph can show the view; a visit tells you where the afternoon light falls, how the deck connects to the living room and whether the driveway works for you. Those are the details worth slowing down for.
The local clock
Every neighbourhood keeps its own time
A market has a pulse the way a movement has a beat, and it differs street by street. The numbers below are read straight from the MLS® record — counted, not estimated — and refreshed through the day.
