Upper Lantzville
Farm houses and wide, open fields characterize the higher elevations of Lantzville, a small rural seaside community that borders north Nanaimo. In Upper Lantzville it’s not uncommon to find residents riding their horses on the streets and offering a friendly wave to anyone who passes.Home lots, many including acreage, are significantly larger than in Lower Lantzville’s village or in Nanaimo. The properties that surround Lantzville’s 18-hole golf course enjoy views of the ocean and Coastal Mountains. Year round, residents enjoy beachcombing along Lantzville’s 4.5-km waterfront or hiking the ridge trails in the forests of Upper Lantzville. Nanaimo’s north-end retail district, with the island’s largest mall, is less than 10 minutes away.
