22 Modern Townhomes

Menzies Ridge Estates is a new townhome development coming soon to Nanaimo’s Hawthorne neighbourhood. Nestled in a quiet residential area of mostly single-family homes, this community will consist of seven 2-storey buildings with a mixture of two to four units each. Individual homes feature an attached garage, private yard, enclosed balcony, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a den. A central common area offers residents an outdoor space to socialize and for children to play.

Hawthorne is a 56-acre pedestrian-friendly village located to the west of downtown Nanaimo, near Vancouver Island University. Sidewalks are wide, the tree-lined streets are narrow, and roundabouts help slow traffic. Next door to Menzies Ridge Estates is Buttertubs Marsh Park, a bird and wildlife sanctuary with an accessible 2km loop trail and observation decks. Schools, pools, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and ice rinks are all within walking distance.
