Discover Alberni Episode 15: Uplands

The Uplands is one of Port Alberni’s most sought-after residential neighbourhoods, and for good reason. In parts of the Uplands premier homes overlook the Alberni Valley, as this area has a higher elevation than most other neighbourhoods. These views include Arbutus Ridge, Alberni Inlet, and pockets of the city below. 

Just across Burde street you’ll find networks of walking trails complete with friendly wildlife such as ducks and beavers! With a view on one side and forest trails on the other, it’s no wonder why this is a top choice for home-buyers. These are well loved and maintained trails that attract locals from all other areas of town. They are that good!

Uplands is mainly residential but almost everything you need is just down the hill, making a nice division between commercial life and your privacy. Homes in Uplands are exclusively newer-built executive-style homes. Usually on large lots with immaculate yards and higher-end interior and exterior features. 

Uplands offers privacy, and the perks of country living close to the city centre. Its position at the top of a hill makes it feel like you are far from the city because of the abundance of nature and quieter pace of life. The spectacular views of the Alberni Inlet reinforce that feeling of being separate from the hustle and bustle. Yet, everything you need is less than five minutes away. 

So, spend an afternoon exploring the Beaver Pond Trail and the residential streets, and you will soon see for yourself why Uplands is a perfect place for relaxed, comfortable living.
