The rooms · a central-north Nanaimo neighbourhood

Uplands

The character of the place

An established place to settle in.

Uplands has the texture of a neighbourhood that has had time to grow: gardens, trees and residential streets close to the north-central city’s services. Long Lake adds a water connection to the wider area. It is worth exploring when everyday convenience matters as much as a dramatic first impression.

The homes here

You will find a mixture of detached homes and strata properties, with older layouts, renovations and different amounts of outdoor space. The condition and usefulness of an individual home deserve more attention than its age alone.

Gillette & Associates

Our perspective

We would look at what has been thoughtfully improved and what remains to be done. A good renovation makes daily life easier, not just the photographs more attractive. Light, storage, parking and a garden you can comfortably maintain help tell the fuller story.

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.
