Benson Meadows Subdivision in Nanaimo
By NanaimoRealEstateTeam.com

Real estate in Nanaimo’s prestigious Benson Meadows is located in a gorgeous setting with an excellent location off Jingle Pot Road.  Residents of these beautiful homes in Benson Meadows have easy access to both downtown Nanaimo and shopping on the north end of the city.  Yet, set on gently sloped 2- to 5-acre lots in Benson Meadows, their Nanaimo homes are nestled in a rustic, natural setting surrounded by pathways leading to creeks, waterfalls, and hiking and biking trails.

Previously known for rural forests alive with the rustle of wild creatures, the Jingle Pot area of Nanaimo real estate is blossoming and now includes Nanaimo homes in the newer subdivisions Shady Mile Acres, Rockridge, and Avonlea as well as Benson Meadows.

The City of Nanaimo is one of the most beautiful harbourfronts on the West Coast.  Located midway up the eastern seaboard of Vancouver Island real estate, with Mount Benton rising in the background, over 80,000 residents have creatively turned this former coal-mining community into a vibrant cultural and recreational paradise.  The Harbour City is also among British Columbia’s most livable cities.  It features a balance of lifestyle, employment options, and investment opportunities. 

Newcomers find a diversified economy with tourism as a major contributor along with forestry, construction, technology, and service centers.   The progressive Economic Development Office fosters economic growth, weaving together a dynamic business environment, an impressive infrastructure, and a skilled and educated labor force. 

The beautiful Malaspina University-College is within walking distance of downtown.  The Ministry of Education’s School District 68 prides itself on the goal of developing a lifelong love of learning in students.  A variety of vocational and alternative schools include Aspengrove Prep School, parochial schools, hospitality training, and a top-notch sailing school.
The perfect-sailing, Mediterranean-like climate, with mild wet winters and dry, sunny summers is one of the mildest in all of Canada.  The area experiences weather in three seasons, which gradually fade into each other: spring, summer, and fall.  

Beginning with historic Bastions originally built by the Hudson Bay Company, environmentally sensitive Garry-oak meadows that predate the European influences, a surging artisan population harkening back to the Salish Indian predecessors, Nanaimo cherishes its past while planning for a wonderful future.   Newcomers will enjoy visiting the Nanaimo Museum for more stories. 

One walk along the Harbourfront Walkway during a music festival or the bathtub or dragon boat races and new residents know why people are moving to the City.   Cultural events, a variety of art and craft galleries, festivals for every season, and a vibrant and forward-thinking population have something going.  Add to that hundreds of recreational opportunities from envied golfing to deep-sea diving and fishing to bird watching and the recipe is just right.
