Oak Bay Real Estate

Steeped in history, Oak Bay has long been one of Victoria’s most coveted neighbourhoods.

What makes Oak Bay real estate special?

Place a mixture of heritage homes, custom built homes, generational properties, and quiet, tree lined streets on Victoria’s Southeast shoreline and you’ve created Oak Bay.  It has long been heralded as one of Victoria’s most attractive areas, and for good reason. Oak Bay is also host to the mildest climate in Greater Victoria. 

Charm

The combination of seaside streets, hundred year old houses, and mature trees are unmistakably Oak Bay. Be cautious about staying for too long and being captivated by the storybook charm.

Value

Being one of Victoria’s most coveted neighbourhoods means demand and value retention have always been high. Oak Bay maintains the highest average sale price of any of the core neighbourhoods.

Community

Great neighbourhoods are usually the result of great people.  Many families have lived in Oak Bay for generations. Why would they choose to leave the mild climate and welcoming community?

Quintessential Victoria Living

The storybook charm of Oak Bay can be felt in all of its neighbourhoods.  It features tight knit communities close to the sea with some of Victoria’s best schools, parks, and amenities.
