Whether you're stepping into homeownership for the first time or looking to simplify without sacrificing location, 682 Bruce Avenue checks the right boxes. This 1100 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom rancher was built in 1998 and has been kept in solid condition, freshly painted, and move-in ready. The layout is practical and comfortable, with everything on one level, making it an easy fit for young families, first-time buyers, or anyone looking to age in place. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers privacy and room to breathe, while the lane access and detached workshop open the door for hobbyists, tradespeople, or anyone who just needs a dedicated space to work or store gear. The location is genuinely hard to beat in this price range. You're walking distance to Vancouver Island University, University Plaza shopping, and both elementary and high schools, everything you need without needing a car for the daily routine. South Nanaimo continues to attract buyers who want value, community, and convenience. This one delivers all three. All measurements are approx. and should be verified if deemed important.
