Discover Diver Lake Real Estate
The Diver Lake area is relatively quiet and great for family living. Diver Lake is one of the central neighbourhoods in Nanaimo, which means that all of Nanaimo’s amenities in the North End (schools, shopping, etc.) and South End (countless cultural areas) are relatively close. It's central to everything and fairly quiet.
This is a wonderful living option for young couples, families, and active adults. Recreational activities at Beban Park and Bowen Park offer plenty to do year-round for active households.
Most of the Nanaimo homes for sale in this area are ranchers and split-levels.

The History of Diver Lake
The area of Nanaimo known as Diver Lake was once known as Wellington and has a rich history. As of 1870, this was already a sprawling settlement of farms, and the area was a popular destination for hunters and fishermen. Once coal was discovered here, Wellington grew to a bustling town for a couple decades, with an opera house and train station, saloon, and streets.
The mines closed around 1900 and the land was rural again until it was swallowed by the expansion of Nanaimo in the post-war years. Today, the name "Wellington" is used to refer to a comparatively small area, from Northfield Rd to Long Lake and Brannen Lake. Some of the old rural properties are still evident here, and an old school remains as a point of pride for locals who are keen on the area's history.
