Why Vancouver Island Is One Of Canada’s Most Sought-After Places To Live

Vancouver Island has had a pristine reputation amongst Canadians, and demand for real estate on the island has been consistently high. Let’s explore what makes Vancouver Island unique and why it is one of Canada’s most sought-after places to live.

NATURAL

The biggest draw to Vancouver Island is its unmatched natural beauty. With year-round mild temperatures, its extensive coast, and untamed appearance that gives it a rugged but gorgeous look, few places on the planet can match Vancouver Island for scenery.

This is an environment unlike anywhere else, from the sprawling sandy coastline of Tofino to the Vancouver Island Mountains. It is a haven for hikers, surfers, climbers, and wildlife lovers. With rainforests, redwood trees, and mountainous terrain, Vancouver Island hosts black bears, cougars, elk, and more, and its waters are teeming with whales, dolphins, and fish.

BEAUTIFUL

While the natural beauty of Vancouver Island might be its calling card, the island also has many excellent communities for residents. Vancouver Island hosts many mid-sized cities with local attractions and outstanding job opportunities.

Victoria is Vancouver Island’s most famous city. Victoria is the provincial capital, home to more than 90,000. It is a city known for its Victorian architecture that provides a dramatic backdrop when combined with the town’s natural beauty. Nanaimo is another major Vancouver Island city, known for its vast shoreline and mountain backdrop. It is a thriving urban community surrounded by beaches and trails that is also home to over 90,000. Other popular cities on Vancouver Island include Saanich, Oak Bay, and Colwood.

CULTURE

Vancouver Island has a distinct local culture largely defined by its setting. The island’s picturesque natural beauty has made it a hub for artists. Vancouver Island has a fantastic art scene, with many art galleries and museums worth exploring. Some of the best museums on the island include the Royal BC Museum in Victoria, the Nanaimo Museum, and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Vancouver Island also has an unparalleled food scene. Arguably the most famous aspect of this food scene is Nanaimo Bars, the chocolate-and-custard treats that have become a global phenomenon. Vancouver Island is a prominent wine region as well, with numerous wineries and vineyards throughout. The restaurant scene here is excellent and presents a wide array of global flavors.

Real estate options on Vancouver Island don’t come cheap, but that is to be expected, given the desirability of the island. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, the median price of a detached home on the island is $860,900. While this price is expensive, it is more affordable than real estate on the mainland near Vancouver. Residents of Vancouver Island also get to choose homes in such a diverse array of locations.

Whether you are looking for beachfront property in a city like Qualicum Beach or Tofino, homes in a more urban community, or homes deep in the wilderness, you will find options. Vancouver Island has an incredibly diverse landscape with an array of real estate options that will satisfy the demands of various buyers.

Why The Okanagan Is One Of The Best Regions In British Columbia

British Columbia is defined by its unique setting, which plays a notable role in its desirability. It has numerous distinct regions, from the forests of Vancouver Island to the mountains of sea to sky country. While every region of the province is beautiful and appealing, Okanagan might stake a claim to being the most desirable region in British Columbia.

Okanagan is in south-central British Columbia, away from the province’s coast.

It is a place with a strong appeal to homebuyers and tourists alike. Let’s explore what makes Okanagan such an excellent place to explore.

Natural Beauty

Like the rest of British Columbia, the Okanagan is a location with abundant natural beauty. It has everything from high mountains and lush valleys to deep forests with sparkling lakes. There are many beautiful places in the Okanagan, including Okanagan Lake. Okanagan Lake stretches for 135 kilometers, with deep blue waters and surrounding forests. Many of the area’s biggest cities are located along the lake’s shores.

There are also many mountains in the Okanagan, including Big White Mountain and Okanagan Mountain. There are incredible forests to explore as well, like the South Okanagan-Similkameen National Park Reserve, a proposed 67,000-acre national park. It is a region with a lush setting and outstanding natural beauty.

Food & Drink

If there’s one thing that comes to mind when people think of the Okanagan, it is likely the area’s food and drink. The Okanagan is famed across Canada as one of the best regions for foodies and lovers of delicious drinks. Okanagan’s wine production may be its most significant specialty. The Okanagan Valley wine region is the second-largest in the country, with more than 120 vineyards and 200 wineries. The region is known for its chardonnays and rieslings.

The same fertile environment that makes the Okanagan ideal for wine production contributes to the region’s status as a hotspot for farm-totable food. The Okanagan has a thriving agriculture industry and many restaurants that serve gourmet meals from locally-sourced produce.

Appealing Towns & Cities

The Okanagan isn’t as densely populated as some regions of British Columbia, but you’ll still find a share of appealing towns and cities. Many cities and towns in Okanagan are nestled in pristine natural settings that are ideal places to make a home. Kelowna is the biggest city in the Okanagan, home to more than 130,000. This beautiful city is right on the shores of Lake Okanagan and has a vibrant food scene, more than 20 local wineries, and a busy downtown.

Penticton has about 35,000 residents and is based on the waters of Lake Okanagan and Skaha Lake. It has nearby mountain ranges, vineyards, and a year-round warm-to-mild climate. Other great towns and cities in the Okanagan include Vernon, Summerland, Kamloops, and West Kelowna.

Year-Round Outdoor Recreation

One of the nicest parts of living in this region is that residents have something exciting to do outdoors, no matter the time of year. The lakes and forests are perfect for avid hikers, boaters, and swimmers in the summer. The waters of Lake Okanagan are ideal for water sports, and many people enjoy fishing in the many lakes that dot the region.

During the winter, the Okanagan has many regions that are hugely popular ski and snowboarding destinations. Big White Ski Resort, SilverStar Mountain Resort, and Sun Peaks Resort are just three of the many premier destinations for skiers and snowboarders. It is the ideal place to live for those who love getting out and active throughout the year.
