Many of the homes here are steeped in history, with some dating back to the First and Second World Wars, often situated on expansive, picturesque lots surrounded by the area's lush, untamed wilderness.
The neighborhood is renowned for its proximity to some of Nanaimo's most beautiful and serene parks, including the tranquil Chase River Estuary Park, the scenic Colliery Dams Park, and the rugged beauty of Extension Ridge.
