Powell River County meets glassy inlets and evergreen slopes, offering coastal living with room to breathe. Centered on Powell River, the area blends mill-town heritage with a lively arts and food scene, plus quick access to beaches, lakes, and backcountry. Ferries link to Comox and the lower Sunshine Coast for day trips toward Sechelt, while marinas and floatplanes keep wider travel simple; the island corridor up to Campbell River puts fishing, biking, and island-hopping within reach.
Families value education through School District 47, which offers innovative classroom programs and strong extracurriculars.

Closer to town, the National Historic District in the Townsite shares the region’s story through preserved architecture, brewpubs, and live music, while markets and coastal studios showcase talented makers.
