    Great video! You really knocked it out of the park. Just met with a buddy of mine who moved back to the Island after several years in Prince George. He said the ferry fealt like a cruise and the Island is the most beautiful thing he's seen in years. We're blessed to be here and you'll be lucky, and happy, you moved here.

      I'm glad you've made it to the Island. There's no better place in Canada if you're looking to escape the intense winters!

    Fantastic video! I'm Cat, owner of a travel company that brings people to Nanaimo, Qualicum and Parksville for an active vacation. I'll share your video with my customers. Sometimes they buy places here too!

      I always encourage people to come and visit for a vacation before they decide on where to purchase a property. I’ll make sure to look you up online and reference your company ❤️

      Be careful in grocery store, pharmacy, and liquor store parking lots. Not the best drivers in Qualicum Beach lol.

    Mum is moving from a cliff view home in Qualicum (still for sale btw someone buy it!) to a condo in Parksville. It's a nice spot downtown close to shops and unlike Qualicum she'll have access to the Parksville beach without getting in a car, that was her deciding factor. Half her friends through turn their noses up at Parksville lol there's definitely a thing there

    Don't know where you got the house prices from. In Qualicum, it's more like $1,000,000.

    I've lived and worked in both places, currently in Parksville. Both places have beautiful beaches, Parksville has more forested type areas if you're into that. There are so many drug addicts and vagrant type people roaming around parksville these days, it really seems to have become a major issue in the last year or two. Qualicum is a beautiful place, but it feels very isolated when you live there and I found myself leaving to nanaimo or other places to shop or find activities. For groceries you have one option, and that place has really gone downhill in the last year. I guess both places have their pros and cons depending on what you are looking for in a community

    • @Nanaimore

      Primarily, these communities are focussed on seniors and retirees. This is slowly changing overtime, but it will not be overnight. If you’re looking for more lively lifestyle, you might want to look to a larger city center. Or if you enjoy outdoor biking, I would recommend living in Nanaimo closer to all major biking trails.

    Anywhere is an upgrade from Nanaimo, there's something wrong with that community. Something unnatural.

    To fly to Parksville or Qualicum fly Nanaimo or Comox, NOT Victoria. Parksville has more sunshine on average than Qualicum beach or Nanaimo. The Parksville walks along the beach have no smog as it does in Qualicum. The draw back is that are very few physicians on Vancouver Island since Covid rules, even though Maderna admitted to causing clots and strokes in UK courts. BC health has not been truthful with the science.

    Is that even a question? Do you like robberies and drug/homeless issues? If you do move to Parksville. Or do you prefer a quite more upscale small town without those issue? If so Qualicum Beach.

      Grateful for your videos. Moving to Ladysmith in April. All these non stop complaints about the dangerously criminal homeless folk around Nanaimo Parksville etc so ridiculous when one is coming in from elsewhere. If it matters so much that one has to comment- then go volunteer at the many centers- and help your neighbors.
