Why you'd want to live in Parksville

Parksville is located in the heart of a local region called Oceanside, on the sheltered east coast of Vancouver Island. Parksville is an active community of 12,514 people (2016 census) comprising urban professionals, families with young children and retirees who have chosen to live in our community for a quality of life and the region's natural environment. Residents and visitors alike place a high value on the community's spectacular natural setting, surrounded by beautiful beaches, mountains, lakes and rivers.
