Living in Parksville
Parksville is a small, seaside community that is both a neighbourhood and a town in one. This is where you can have both the beach and a day of shopping. Beautiful sandy beaches are within walking distance of locally-owned restaurants and boutiques. Families appreciate the vibrant community and small-town atmosphere for raising children.
Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, boutiques, and other retail spaces comprise the commercial real estate options within Parksville. Residential options favour condominiums near the waterfront, and single-family homes dispersed equally throughout the community. Townhouses and cottages are also found quite often.
Nearby communities French Creek, Nanoose, Coombs, Errington, and Qualicum Beach share many of the same qualities as Parksville. The prestigious Fairwinds community within Nanoose contains executive-style, west coast contemporary homes with its private golf course and marina. Coombs and Errington are rural with opportunities for hobby farms and privacy, while Qualicum Beach is more similar to Parksville but on a larger scale.

We purchased our first Ballard home in 2020 and we’re thrilled with the high quality of the home, turn-key and the professionalism of Don Ballard and his staff. In 2021 we decided to move and build our forever home. There was no question who we wanted to built this home, and that was of course Ballard Fine Homes. We were involved in every aspect from design start to completion. We would highly recommend Don Ballard and his team. Thank you Don, for our beautiful home!

My wife and I visited the Ballard show home a few months ago and I can’t say enough about Ballard Fine Homes. We are looking to build a home and we have spoken and toured many show homes and Ballard by far has the nicest product and service team in my opinion. This will be our third house and we want it to be the final one and they have really bent over backwards to help us achieve that. We were recommended by friends and we can’t thank them enough.
