There’s something inherently calming about being near the ocean. The rhythmic crash of waves, the fresh sea breeze and the endless horizon all contribute to a sense of peace and well-being. But beyond its natural beauty, coastal living offers real advantages for mental health, sustainability and a more eco-conscious lifestyle.
North Point Apartments in Nanaimo is a prime example of this balance, offering a thoughtfully designed living space that embraces the wellness benefits of coastal life while prioritizing sustainability with energy-efficient features and easy access to green spaces.
Coastal Living and Mental Wellness
Spending time near water has been linked to lower stress levels, improved mood, and a greater sense of well-being. Research on "blue space" environments – areas near oceans, lakes and rivers – suggests that they have a calming effect on the mind, helping to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
At North Point Apartments, tenants are just minutes from Vancouver Island’s beautiful shoreline, giving them the opportunity to enjoy these mental wellness benefits every day. Whether it’s a quiet morning walk along the beach or simply taking in the fresh air from a private balcony, the location makes it easy to incorporate nature into daily life.
Sustainable living and eco-friendly features

With environmental concerns on the rise, sustainable living is more important than ever. Many modern residential communities are incorporating energy-efficient appliances, solar power, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to reduce their environmental footprint. Green spaces, bike-friendly infrastructure and smoke-free policies also contribute to healthier and more sustainable urban living.
North Point Apartments integrates sustainability into its design with EV charging stations, secure bike storage and energy-efficient appliances. These features make it easier for tenants to adopt a greener lifestyle while enjoying the convenience of modern living. The buildings are also smoke-free, ensuring cleaner air and a healthier environment for everyone.
A community connected to nature
Living near the ocean often means being surrounded by parks, walking trails and waterfront access, allowing tenants to stay active and engaged with nature. Coastal communities prioritize green spaces to enhance quality of life and encourage outdoor recreation.
At North Point Apartments, tenants can take advantage of nearby parks, scenic trails, and the beautiful Vancouver Island coastline. The community’s thoughtful design and proximity to nature create an ideal setting for those who value both modern comfort and an active, eco-conscious lifestyle.
