Be careful, saying that the Lantzville area is just another neighbourhood in Nanaimo might be considered an insult to residents who are very proud of their community. The District of Lantzville is located on the Northern Boarder of Nanaimo and is much more rural than the city, which means lots are larger and more space than Nanaimo properties. Lower Lantzville consists of the area that surrounds the small village center and can provide the best of both worlds for potential home owners. The neighbourhood has a small active commercial center and for people who want a little more action, Nanaimo’s North End is only a few minutes away. The area also offers some very scenic ocean property along Lantzville Road. Although there are no major parks in the community, Lantzville is extremely close to all the amenities of the North End. For outdoor enthusiasts Arbutus Grove Provincial Park? is only a 14 minute drive north-west of downtown Lantzville.
