320 2815 Departure Bay Rd Opportunities like this don’t come along often—just steps from the sand at Departure Bay Beach, this bright and beautifully updated condo at Seaside Place is all about location and lifestyle. Imagine morning strolls along the shoreline, afternoons watching the ferries come and go, and grabbing coffee or a bite from the nearby food trucks—all within a short walk from your front door. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated to make everyday living both stylish and practical. A brand-new custom kitchen by Comsense Kitchens is the centerpiece, designed to maximize space and create a semi–open-concept feel. All-wood cabinetry, quartz counters, and quality craftsmanship set this kitchen apart. The bathroom has also been tastefully updated, while fresh paint, newer flooring, and a recently replaced hot water tank mean you can move right in with nothing left to do. The building itself is well-managed, with a healthy reserve fund, reasonable strata fees, and a non-smoking policy. Cats are welcome, and residents appreciate the convenience of an assigned parking stall close to the entry, plus a storage locker for those extra belongings. If you’ve been dreaming of a home where the beach is your backyard and everything you need is close at hand, this is the place. Whether you’re downsizing, starting fresh, or simply looking for a relaxed seaside lifestyle, Seaside Place at Departure Bay offers a rare chance to live in one of Nanaimo’s most sought-after spots.
