Cameron Heights Homes for Sale

About Cameron Heights

It is the ocean views that set Cameron Heights apart. Built on a hillside on the southernmost edge of Port Alberni, most homes in Cameron Heights enjoy inspirational views of the Alberni Inlet and the mountains of the valley. Those homes that do not have an ocean view still benefit from the serenity of this quiet residential neighbourhood, and the proximity to nature. 

This Alberni Valley neighbourhood is not only highly sought after for its serenity, beauty and tranquility, but also for its accessibility to all of the amenities that the Port Alberni has to offer.  Enveloped by the surrounding forest and footed by the deepest water port on Vancouver Island, this neighbourhood is the hidden gem of the Valley. 

Whether you are moving your small or extended family to Cameron Heights or you are planning on retiring in this unique little subdivision, there is a very good chance you will find your forever home nestled on this quaint little hilltop.

Things To Do in Cameron Heights

Alberni Inlet Trail

Cameron Heights is located on the outer most edge of the City of Port Alberni. Just a short jaunt up the road is the Alberni Inlet Trail. The bulk of the trail is situated in a working forest and only 2km in there is a stunning lookout that provides spectacular panoramic views of the entire valley. From there, the trail expands for many more km’s, providing endless opportunities for exploration for hikers of every age and skill level. 

Canal Beach

At the bottom of the hill, you will find the only cultured waterfront in the valley, Canal Beach. Formerly working land for an industrial saw mill, the City of Port Alberni and community partners have teamed up to create a beautiful multiuse community park that host the annual Polar Bear swim and many other community events. Kayakers launch from this location and can choose whether to head up the canal toward the West Coast, or paddle around the city’s waterfront. Either way, watch for sea lions, jellyfish, eagles and even an occasional pod of whales that frequently play along this stunning waterway, which happens to be the longest deep water port on Vancouver Island. 

Hiking Trails 

Nature trails are absolutely everywhere in this quiet Alberni Valley neighbourhood. You can choose to walk in the community forest that snakes along the side of Ship Creek Road or find one of the many entrances to the Valley’s most popular trail system, the Log Train Trail. The Fir Baby and Carriere to Ship Creek trails, being two of the most accessed, begin at the top of Cameron Heights. Be sure to bring your water bottle and wear comfortable and supportive shoes because once you start to explore, the hours slip away as you settle into the beautiful surroundings and spy the plentiful woodland critters that you are sure to encounter along the way.
