LIVING IN CAMPBELLTON

Campbellton is where Campbell River began. Tucked along the river on the city's north side, this is a neighbourhood of small character homes and local businesses that has quietly become one of the most interesting places in town to buy — popular with first-time buyers, retirees and everyone in between.

THE VIBE

Once a tired industrial district, Campbellton has spent the past decade reinventing itself. Since 2011, residents and the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association have been building forest trails and community gardens, improving riverfront access, upgrading lighting and bringing art and vibrancy back to the streets. The result is a safe, quiet neighbourhood with genuine character and real momentum.

HOMES & PRICES

Expect small ranchers and character homes on established streets, with the odd apartment building mixed in. Campbellton offers some of the most attainable single-family prices in Campbell River — typically below the city-wide benchmark ($680,900 as of June 2026, per VIREB) — making it a natural first rung on the property ladder and a favourite of buyers happy to add value with updates.

THE RIVER

The neighbourhood is bordered by the Campbell River itself. Fishing, kayaking and wildlife viewing are minutes from your door, and some properties enjoy scenic river views.

LOCATION & AMENITIES

Campbellton sits right where Highway 19 heads north and west, making it one of the most convenient spots in the city for commuters and weekend trips up-island. Downtown Campbell River, shopping and services are a few minutes away, and bus routes connect the neighbourhood to the rest of the city.

WHO IT SUITS

First-time buyers chasing an attainable detached home, downsizers who want quiet streets close to services, and anyone who likes a neighbourhood with history and an upward trajectory.
