With a large number of creeks and ravines that bisect the cityscape, Port Alberni’s layout gives it a unique “twin city” status. South Port and North Port offering residents two distinctive areas with their own amenities, property types and landscapes.

This part of the city offers historic landmarks that include the old Alberni Post Office on the southeast corner of Hwy 4 and Gertrude St., while new development here continues to grow. Subdivisions of North Port Alberni homes, such as Klitsa and Westporte, can be found in this area.

North Port Alberni Homes & Community

Port Alberni’s deep port city is in the heart of the Alberni Valley and at the tip of the Alberni Inlet, one of the island’s

longest inlets. The area’s rich culture and history began as traditional territory of the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples, eventually named after explorers such as Captain Charles William Barkley, and a Spanish officer by the name of Captain Pere d’Alberni who traveled here in the late 1700s.

With all of the western red cedar and douglas fir trees, this valley saw forestry as a dominant economy for many years. Today, it is a service center for local, regional and provincial governments and a supply center for surrounding communities including Bamfield. The city has continued to blossom as a tourist destination for outdoor recreation lovers who relish the seasonal activities around South and North Port Alberni homes from skiing, snowshoeing and hockey in the winter to camping, swimming and hiking in the summer.
