About South Alberni
South Alberni is mainly a quiet, residential area with access to an Uptown core with shops, boutiques, restaurants, farmer’s markets and festivals. Nestled along the waves on a gentle incline, many homes benefit from beautiful views of the Alberni Inlet and experience the ocean’s refreshing late afternoon breeze in the summer months. Turning away from the water, you are greeted by the snow capped peaks of Mount Arrowsmith. This neighbourhood is positioned mainly on one end of the city, with Ship Creek Road leading out towards Bamfield. It has easy access to the rest of the city’s amenities, but can hold its own balance between tranquillity and functionality.
South Alberni has its own grocery stores, schools, banks, shops, parks, beaches, trails, and tourist attractions. Most homes have a waterfront view, mountain view, or both! Greenery from bordering forests and tree-lined streets set the tone for this area as a welcoming, pristine, peaceful place to live with access to a lively community and diverse choice of shops and things to do. The unusually wide roads are a historic reminder of Port Alberni’s vibrant logging days, where logging trucks roamed up and down the main streets. Now, they are the perfect roads for a leisurely drive or as a base for a summer market.
Real Estate in South Alberni
Most of the real estate in South Alberni is residential with some commercial and industrial properties in bustling pockets and tourist destinations.
The residential properties are a mixture of suburban homes, townhouses, multi-homes, condominiums, apartments, land, and many offer a view of the inlet or Mount Arrowsmith. There are a variety of character homes, new builds, and subdivisions to choose from in the residential areas. Character homes dating as far back as the 1940’s can be found along brand new, top of the line homes. There is a good mix between the older style, character neighbourhoods and brand new, modern subdivisions.
Most of the commercial properties are found along Third Avenue, Argyle Street, and on connecting roads nearby. The Uptown area has seen a revitalization in recent years with more varied store options, markets, and new businesses setting down roots. At the base of Argyle Street is the Harbour Quay - a major tourist destination and favourite for locals.
Things To Do
The Arts District Entertainment
The Arts District is home to the historic Capitol Theatre which opened on May 16, 1936. It puts on many fantastic plays. It is just around the corner from the bustling Third Avenue Uptown area, where many small businesses have unique shops and food options to choose from. Just across the street is the Landmark Cinema for blockbuster movies, and Char’s Landing, a historic renovated church that is now a venue for live entertainment, bar and lounge, and offers accommodations for travellers.
The Harbour Quay
The Harbour Quay is a major focal point in South Alberni, where locals come together to enjoy festivals, Spirit Square Farmers’ Market, local eateries, or hang out by the seaside playground with their children. There is something for everybody, from a creamy ice cream cone to a high-class waterfront restaurant meal at the base of an impressive clock tower. Many locals are fond of grabbing a coffee and a freshly made doughnut from the Donut Shop, then exchanging conversations or climbing the Clock Tower for a view all the way down the inlet. The Starboard Grill is fine dining at its best, with its award-winning candied salmon chowder. A couple of harbours house fishing and recreational boats for easy access to preferred fishing areas like China Creek, Kildonan, Bamfield, and beyond. Children playing in the park have a view of the nearby Maritime Discovery Centre and its impressive lighthouse.
Uptown Shopping District
The Third Avenue area is a vibrant shopping district. You’ll find a family owned butcher shop, banks, coffee shops, restaurants, a yoga studio, hair salons, and so much more. Where Third Avenue meets Argyle Street, you can go down towards the Harbour Quay or go up a bit for the Arts District containing a couple of theatres and Mount Arrowsmith peaking over the hill. In the summer, the street gets closed off for a farmers market filled with local artisans, produce, and live music. It is the hustle and bustle core of the commercial area, with everything you need conveniently packed in one place.
Canal Waterfront Park
Canal Waterfront Park is a newer addition to the many parks in the area. This park has beach access, a community fire pit, a large field, free parking, volleyball court, and a gazebo ideal for groups. Many locals enjoy relaxing on a bench watching the sunset over Arbutus Ridge, laying out a blanket on the beach to sunbathe, playing ball with their dog, and using it as a base for water sports like kitesurfing. Away from traffic, it is a serene place to relax with a cup of coffee after work or on a day off. All you hear is the ocean waves and other locals having a good time.
Hiking Trails & Walking Paths
The start of the iconic Alberni Inlet Trail can be found on Ship Creek Road. This is an approximately 14 km hiking trail that offers amazing views of Mount Arrowsmith, the Alberni Inlet, and the city itself. Enthusiastic hikers can follow the path all the way to Franklin River, but many locals enjoy shorter durations to take advantage of the spectacular views. The trail passes through a forested area, crosses over a couple of logging roads, and reaches a max elevation of about 1400m above sea level.
Another popular walking path is the Maquinna Trails which is located near a couple of elementary schools. This trail is more user-friendly with wide, flat paths and is quite popular with dog walkers. This is another fine choice for those wanting to take a slower pace, hear the birds chirping, and breathe in the fresh forest air.
