Tucked alongside the tranquil Millstone River and just moments from the energy of downtown, Riverstone Place offers one of Nanaimo’s most unique opportunities for walkable living. Perfectly positioned near the trail network & only minutes from the harbourfront & the charming shops & cafés of the Old City Quarter, this location offers a lifestyle that balances nature, community & convenience. This ground-floor one-bedroom home at 20 Barsby Avenue is thoughtfully designed with efficiency & comfort in mind — making it an excellent option for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a well-located property. This home features modern finishes including quartz countertops, a sleek European-style kitchen, nine-foot ceilings, and the convenience of in-suite laundry. The ground-floor position also provides easy access in and out of the building and a lovely connection to the surrounding greenspace. Residents at Riverstone Place enjoy a variety of lifestyle-focused amenities, including secure bike storage for exploring the nearby trail system, a convenient dog washing station, community garden plots, and a beautifully designed outdoor courtyard and lawn area where neighbours can relax and gather. One of the most distinctive aspects of this building is its focus on walkable living. While this unit does not include a parking space, many residents find they simply don’t need one here. With downtown, the waterfront, restaurants, shopping, transit, and Vancouver Island University all just minutes away, daily errands and outings are easily accomplished on foot or by bike. For the times when a vehicle is needed, residents have convenient access to Modo Car Share — allowing you to book a car only when you need it, making it both a flexible and cost-effective option.
