Hawthorne is a natural haven close to the heart of downtown Nanaimo. Tucked away in 56 acres of green space, it's a pedestrian-friendly village of over two hundred single-family homes with serene tree-lined boulevards, spacious lots, beautifully built homes and winding pathways throughout the neighbourhood. There is nothing quite like it anywhere else on the Island.

Hawthorne has been designed in an old-fashioned way. Sidewalks are wide, roads narrow. Roundabouts help slow traffic to keep the roads safe. Schools, Vancouver Island University, pools, soccer fields, ball diamonds and ice rinks are all within walking distance, just a few blocks away.

With Phase 1 and 2 sold out, Phase 3 sales underway, and many families moved in, we've been pleasantly surprised at the broad spectrum of people the community has attracted. This multi-age mix of families along with empty nesters, single professionals, and retired couples has created a refreshingly vibrant neighbourhood.
