Thornbridge at Longwood - Nanaimo, BC

Thornbridge at Longwood is a 63-home condominium building in North Nanaimo designed for adults 55 and older. Built by InSight Holdings Ltd. in 2010, the four-storey building forms part of the larger Longwood community and is set among landscaped grounds, gardens, ponds and walking paths. Its strongest practical distinction is the combination of age-restricted condominium living with shared Longwood amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness space, games room and guest accommodations. Longwood Station’s grocery, dining, banking and other services are also within walking distance.

HOMES

Thornbridge offers condominium apartments rather than detached homes, with 19 original floor plans ranging from 575 to 1,206 square feet. Suites were designed in a West Coast craftsman style and include features such as in-suite laundry, covered decks, garden patios or solariums, depending on the plan. The building was completed in 2010 and is now a resale community rather than an active new-home development. Current 2026 listings show resale prices from C$399,999 to C$629,000, although individual availability changes.
