Nanaimo Homes and Home Styles

Welcome to my web site I hope that you find it's content both informative and interesting. It contains everything a home buyer could need including real estate links and home owner resources. Find out more about me on my home page. When looking for a home price is one of the main criteria you use to start your search as a first time home buyer. When you buy your second home however you probably have more of an check list such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and style of home. Below I have images and descriptions of various types of home styles. There are many other types of homes but this brief list covers most of the styles of homes in Nanaimo. Note: The main level is the floor that has the kitchen. In a home with a suite it would be where the main residence kitchen is.

Westcoast Contemporary Home

This home style features vaulted ceilings, dramatic windows and roof lines. Crawl, slab or basement. It is common to see lofts and in Nanaimo many
have cedar lined ceilings.

Split Level Home

This home features multiple levels connected by short staircases.

Split Entry Home

This home has an entry in the middle with stairs up to main floor and down to basement.

Rancher Style Home

Rancher style home.

This home is set on one level and is either on slab or a crawl. It is the most expensive to build because the roof and foundation increase directly with the square footage.

Patio Home

One level dwelling in complex with individual entrance at street level (may include basement below grade). This style home is popular with seniors
because there are no stairs. They are usually strata title and have monthly
fees to cover ladscaping, snow removal and other common costs.

Apartment

Multi-storey hotel-style accommodations with the following types of access: security, outer stair access, interior stair or elevator, hallway.

Side X Side (Duplex) or Up & Down (Duplex)

Two separate title units with common roof. Must have two insurance policies.

Float Home

Any style of home that uses a floatation device and yes some have basements! This is not very common in Nanaimo.
