Q: We are moving to Nanaimo. What are the best neighbourhoods for a young family?

A: I have lived here my Whole Life (A whopping 20 Years lol) and grew up near N.D.S.S. - most areas around NDSS are great. Dont move into Harewood, or too close downtown. Though they are clearing up the Downtown Problems, if you have small/young kids I would recommend somewhere near NDSS or the Hospital. The North End is nice, expensive, but nice. Please dont hesitate to send me an email if you have any areas in mind and would like a 2nd opinion. You'll love it here :)
