Pets aren’t just companions - they’re part of the family. For many homebuyers in the Westshore, especially in family-oriented areas like Bear Mountain and Langford, access to pet-friendly spaces and amenities can be a deciding factor in where they choose to live. In this guide, we spotlight new and upcoming developments that prioritize pets, making it easier to find a home that suits both you and your four-legged friend. Why Pets Matter in Westshore Real Estate Westshore communities are built around outdoor living, with trails, parks, and green space at every turn. Buyers with dogs or other pets increasingly seek developments that: Include on-site dog parks or pet play areas Offer easy access to trails and off-leash areas Provide wash stations, grooming rooms, or pet care services Nestle close to vet clinics, pet stores, and open community space In Bear Mountain, for example, the abundance of trails and outdoor activities makes the area naturally appealing to active pet owners. Developers here often incorporate dedicated pet spaces into site plans, acknowledging the strong influence pets have on purchase decisions. Noteworthy Pet-Friendly Developments Several new and planned Westshore developments have responded to buyer demand for pet-centric features: Pavilion Langford (Langford City Centre)  - Has no size limits or breed restrictions. Close to dog parks and trails. Trailside Residences (Bear Mountain) – Close to miles of off-leash trails, with community dog runs integrated into green spaces. The Grove (Langford City Centre) – Includes enclosed pet play areas and easy pathway access to parks. Harbour Living (Colwood) – Offers waterfront strolls and pet stations along scenic walking paths. Tips for Pet-Friendly Buying When evaluating properties, consider these factors: Pet policy and fees: Some condos have size limits, breed restrictions, or extra deposits — verify before committing. Amenity accessibility: Look for developments where dog parks or pet facilities are truly convenient rather than peripheral. Walkability: Proximity to parks, beaches, and trails enhances daily life for pets and owners alike.

Justine D., 5-Star Review, via Google “Cal and Scott treated us like family. We had only 5 days to find a home and Cal cleared his schedule to make himself available to us. Cal guided us in the purchase of our home, as if we were a member of his family asking for advice. I knew we could trust Cal. His service to us did not stop with the purchase of our home…he helped us find trades people and provided information about rental incomes in the area. We were new to the Island and I honestly felt that Cal adopted us and has made sure we had everything we needed. We did not just gain a realtor, but a friend. If you are looking for a realtor you can TRUST, and will look out for YOUR interests— then Cal and Scott are IT!!!
