I live in Nanoose Bay and prefer to shop in Parksville whenever I can. It’s a beautiful little town with stunning views and awesome people. I am from Texas and I’ve been here 20+ years- I absolutely love it here. Well, except for Castreau, but otherwise it’s truly nice and laid back on Vancouver Island.
I was speaking to a couple from Parksville two weeks ago.... They moved away from the Island, and said they would never live there again, as the coastal, constant rain for extended periods of time was depressing, and unliveable.
im from algeria and rn im living in italy (i was born here) my cousins moved from america to vancouver (parksville) like 8 years ago , i won an ESN card for when i’ll start university and i worked so hard for this :DD i’ll go there in about 4 years and my ESN card and the erasmus plus card have the validation of 6 years! (so i just gotta wait to become 18 years old!) ! i have no idea if i can choose where to go or less but i dont see my cousins and uncles from about 8 years and i miss them so much! I hope i’ll be able to study a little bit in canada because it looks like a good place!❤
Interesting you speak of Victoria being 1.5 hours away, sorry it's more like 2 hours and that's on a good day. More importantly YOU DO NEED WINTER TIRES HERE as the communities are all mostly highway driving and by law required.
Lol, this place is so busy in the summer that you don't want to be anywhere near it. Not to mention, the homeless population problem is out of control there.
Hi, excellent video. What do you think of Evergreen St Parksville? Does Parksville have a community center with a swimming pool? What's the restaurant situation there?
As a Parksville resident who has used the emergency room multiple times in both nrgh and Parksville, Parksville’s urgent care clinic is much faster and can handle all but the most serious
My favourite place in the entire world 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

you forgot to mention the homeless population and the gang activity at night
Best coffee shop: Brazen Poppy is family owned and everything baked on premises. Great quality.
However, difficult to find a family doctor.
I just took the Hullo from Van to Nanaimo. With that transportation option, it really opens up possibilities.
I’ve still not taken the ferry. But I hear good things!
It would be very interesting what some of the best Restaurants/Coffee shops are the best around Nanaimo. Happy to see a Video again.
The ultimate best Nanaimo restaurant in my opinion is The Bold Knight. They do delicious steaks and seafood.

So would I. I've been here 20 years and haven't found a decent restaurant yet!

Thanks so much for commenting and contributing to the conversations! The more comments the more RUclips shows people this beautiful island!
So true, it usually took over 2 hours for us to get there from Victoria. Love the drive up there though.

Top retirement destination in Canada. Hope wherever you are it’s warm and beautiful 🤩

There is no hospital in Parksville, the closest hospital is in Nanaimo. There is an urgent care clinic in Parksville

On those 6-storey wood framed condos you mentioned, are the installation of fire suppression sprinklers mandatory?
Yes, they’re mandatory.
Good luck if you need to find a doctor!
Love the videos. Just letting you know the links you referenced didnt come up.
For some reason, I need to wait a little while for RUclips to fully upload the video before I can put the links in. Super annoying!!!
Homeless everywhere land over price land we can get two feet of snow in winter I wish I did not move here
Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!!!
@@melodybell-lf3oi you may wanna visit first before trusting just some Internet comments.
I am from Alberta. Can I invest in Parksville?
Properties overpriced. Homeless problems & increased crime. Personally, I would invest elsewhere. I lived in Parksville and now nearby community.
Don’t come here it’s already too crowded and too many homeless
How did you get here?

Lucky you!
