Saanich

After years of helping clients across Greater Victoria, we’ve learned an important truth. Saanich is one of the most consistently desirable places to live. It offers a balance of nature, schools, amenities, and stable neighbourhoods, all within minutes of the city. Everyday Living Made Easy Saanich offers something for everyone. You can live close to beaches, walking trails, or shops without sacrificing one for the other. The municipality stretches from coastal pockets to quiet residential areas and even rural acreages. This variety gives buyers real choice instead of compromise. Nature at Your Doorstep Locals value how close they are to parks and green space. Mount Douglas (Pkols), Swan Lake, Elk and Beaver Lake, and the coastline around Cadboro Bay are all part of daily life. A morning walk, an after-work trail run, or a family beach outing becomes simple rather than a weekend trip. Neighbourhoods Buyers Love Gordon Head: Spacious lots, quiet streets, and close proximity to UVic. Broadmead: Mature landscaping, preserved nature, and exceptional privacy. Cadboro Bay: Village atmosphere, beach access, and a strong sense of community. Royal Oak: Central location, convenient shopping, and reliable transit. Rural Saanich: Acreages, gardens, and hobby farms while still near amenities. Why Sellers Perform Well Here Saanich homes tend to hold value. The community attracts long-term buyers who prioritize lifestyle and stability. Sellers do best when they highlight walkability, green space, and flexible floorplans such as suites or home offices. Timeless upgrades generally outperform trendy remodels. Our Honest Take Clients often explore Oak Bay, Sidney, Langford, and View Royal, but many return to Saanich. It isn’t flashy. It is livable, reliable, and rooted in lifestyle. For buyers seeking nature, convenience, and long-term comfort, Saanich delivers.   Brandon Sharratt, 5-Star Review, via Google “My wife and I sold our condo in View Royal and bought a place in Esquimalt with the help of The Faber Group. Scott helped us to find and buy the perfect home for our growing family in a very competitive market. He got to know our wants and needs and worked within our schedule with a small baby. Once we found the perfect place Scott helped us to get it for under the asking price and sold our condo in one day on the market with multiple offers over asking! We are so grateful that Scott helped us through this process, answering our many questions and alleviating our concerns. Thank you for helping us sell our first home and buy a beautiful house for our family.” Faber Real Estate Group Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty 📞 250-244-3430 📧[email protected] ℹ️ Scott Faber Personal Real Estate Corporation ℹ️ Cal Faber Personal Real Estate Corporation Vanessa Wood & Zachary Parsons “Building Lasting Relationships, One Home at a Time.”

As local realtors in Greater Victoria, we’re often asked where clients can find beachside living without sacrificing convenience. Cordova Bay is almost always part of that conversation. Located along the east coast of Saanich, this neighbourhood blends ocean views, quiet streets, and a welcoming community feel that appeals to families, retirees, and professionals alike.   The Beach Is the Heart of Cordova Bay Cordova Bay Beach is one of the neighbourhood’s defining features. Its long stretch of sandy shoreline feels peaceful even in summer. Residents walk their dogs, paddleboard before work, or enjoy calm evening sunsets with neighbours. It’s the kind of waterfront that isn’t just a view - it becomes part of your lifestyle.   A True Village Feel The neighbourhood centres around amenities like Mattick’s Farm, home to boutique shops, cafés, and local businesses. It’s where residents grab coffee, browse artisan goodies, or stop in after a walk. Golf lovers appreciate having Cordova Bay Golf Course and The Ridge right at their doorstep, and cyclists enjoy easy trail access to Lochside and beyond.   Cordova Bay offers a wide spectrum of housing options. Classic coastal homes with large lots and ocean views Modern builds designed for entertaining and privacy Townhomes and well-planned strata communities for low-maintenance living Luxury waterfront estates that rarely hit the market Inventory remains limited because residents tend to stay. When a good home becomes available, it attracts serious interest quickly.   Schools, Parks, and Everyday Convenience Families are drawn to the strong school catchments and walkable parks. Nearby amenities like Broadmead Village and Royal Oak keep day-to-day living simple. Many clients choose Cordova Bay because it delivers a relaxed, coastal pace without the inconvenience of being “far away.”   Our Realtor’s Take If you’re looking for a neighbourhood that feels like a getaway without leaving the city, Cordova Bay delivers that balance. The beach, the greenery, the village hub, and the character of the homes create a lifestyle that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Greater Victoria. Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, or buying your first piece of the island, this community rewards thoughtful buyers who value long-term living. If you’d like a breakdown by budget or housing type, we’re happy to help.   Devon Marchtaler, 5-Star Review, via Google “Scott was very patient with us as we started our family and took about a year to decide on place we thought would be fit for our home. He went above and beyond and still continues to this day to keep in touch and periodically checks in to see how we are doing. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor to either sell or buy their home.” Faber Real Estate Group Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty 📞 250-244-3430 📧[email protected] ℹ️ Scott Faber Personal Real Estate Corporation ℹ️ Cal Faber Personal Real Estate Corporation Vanessa Wood & Zachary Parsons “Building Lasting Relationships, One Home at a Time.”
