Located just south of Nanaimo’s city centre, Extension offers a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and natural beauty. Once established as a historic coal mining community, today Extension is known for its spacious acreages, hobby farms, custom-built homes, and private rural properties that provide a welcome escape from the pace of city life. Residents enjoy larger lots, abundant wildlife, quiet country roads, and easy access to hiking trails, lakes, and outdoor recreation, all while remaining just a short drive from Nanaimo’s schools, shopping, restaurants, and everyday amenities. For buyers looking to trade busy neighbourhoods for space, privacy, and a stronger connection to nature, Extension offers one of the most unique lifestyles on Vancouver Island.
