Upper Lantzville
The character of the place
Space above the coast.
Upper Lantzville rises into the hills above the coastal village, bringing wooded settings and outlooks from higher ground. It is part of Lantzville rather than a Nanaimo neighbourhood, with a different feel from the lower coastal streets. Space and the relationship to the landscape are often the starting points here.
The homes here
The area includes larger residential properties, established houses and newer homes. Elevation can create a compelling outlook, but the slope and the position of a house also determine how the land can be used.

Our perspective
We would look past the distant view to the foreground: the driveway, garden and connection between inside and outside. A property can offer privacy in several ways. Finding the one that suits you means looking at the trees, topography and neighbouring homes together.
Living in Upper Lantzville
Upper Lantzville occupies the hills above the coastal village, with wooded surroundings, larger properties and residential development in the Foothills area. Some homes look towards the Winchelsea Islands.

The hills above Lantzville
Upper Lantzville includes larger lots and coastal outlooks. Those features depend on the individual site: a wooded property, a cleared view lot and a house within a subdivision can offer quite different ways to live above the village.
Walk the approach to the home and look at the land around it. Slope, driveway access, privacy and the useful part of the garden matter as much as the view. Establish what services reach the property and which tasks remain the owner’s responsibility.
The Foothills and the north-end connection
The Foothills is part of the area’s development story. Check current development plans and conditions affecting a particular lot before relying on future amenities.
Nanaimo’s north end provides a nearby regional service centre, while Lower Lantzville connects the search to the village and shoreline. Tour both sides of the district to decide whether the hillside setting or proximity to village life matters more.
Schools and the everyday journey
A school catchment belongs to an address, and boundaries and programs can change. Use the Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools locator to check a home before making a decision. Then try the journey to school, work and the services you use regularly.
