URBAN OASIS

Representing the left portion of the City of Victoria and spanning an estimated 158-hectares. Victoria West is an eclectic community, nestled on a peninsula surrounded by water and connected to Victoria’s downtown core by two city bridges and the Selkirk Trestle: a broad and static walking/cycling bridge that connects to the Galloping Goose Trail and crosses the scenic Gorge Waterway. For those seeking a neighbourhood that boasts superior accessibility to both Victoria’s downtown core and the tranquility of West Coast waterfront, Victoria West may be the ideal urban oasis for you.  

A small enough community to build familiarity with local vendors, but big and open enough to also afford privacy.

 Walkable and bikeable access to downtown shops and restaurants, waterfront parks, orchards and green spaces that you can enjoy without changing out of your flip-flops. Easy access to Downtown Victoria with the ability to retreat to your comfortable condo or townhouse in a quieter cache that’s just far enough away from the bustle and noise of the downtown core. 

Avid gardener? Enjoy Victoria West’s twenty-two parks and green spaces, some of which feature community gardens and orchards.
