Coastal Living Redefined at Bayview Estates in French Creek
French Creek is a small, idyllic community that exudes a unique coastal charm. Situated just a short 10-minute drive from the bustling amenities of Parksville and the quaint charm of Qualicum Beach, French Creek offers the best of both worlds for those who cherish the tranquility of a slower pace of life next to the ocean while still enjoying easy access to nearby conveniences. With its inviting marina, stunning ocean views, and a sense of timelessness, French Creek is the perfect retreat for individuals and families seeking a more relaxed and coastal way of living.
Bayview Estates, a development by Ballard Fine Homes, embraces the island’s natural beauty and close-knit community atmosphere. Many homes in this development are waterfront properties overlooking the Strait of Georgia, just steps away from the marina. If you are someone who enjoys living near the water or partaking in fishing or boating, then you’ll want to check out Bayview Estates.
Don’t miss out on Wembley Woods in Parksville
Parksville is famous for its beautiful natural surroundings and laid-back vibe. It has long sandy beaches, a nice climate, and amazing views of the ocean, making it a great spot for people who love the outdoors and spending time at the beach.
You can do lots of fun things there, like searching for seashells, kayaking, playing golf, and going for hikes in Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. People who live in Parksville appreciate the friendly community and the peaceful coastal lifestyle it offers, making it a wonderful place to live.
Ballard Fine Homes brings you Wembley Woods, a special place that showcases the island’s magic.
