Where to live in Victoria - an explanation on Neighbourhoods - Buyers | Victoria BC Real Estate

[@jacktripper9571]

Thank you , it was quite informative. We will be relocating to Vancouver Island for the duration of our daughter’s stay at Royal Roads and then be on our way. I wonder what areas are best suited for a family on a budget and no intentions of staying longer than needed.

Airport is a bit further North across from Sidney, which is important when buying a house

[@bchomegroup]

appreciate your feedback, when you check google maps, you will see it is across the highway from Sidney . Live not to far away :-)

[@mistywaters4881]

This is so thorough - thank you! Regarding home break-ins, would you say they are more prevalent in houses as opposed to condos (I'm assuming there would be more people around in a condo building, making it more difficult for the criminals), or is there really no difference?

[@bchomegroup]

Victoria is a very safe city, but if a condo is on the ground level of a condo downtown, I would get an alarm system, but generally everywhere is pretty safe here on the island.

What could be inside after paying 1.3 million for a house with no jobs in the city, no industry ,thats a starter home no wonder she's in a great mood huge commission

Nice to know my fellow African sister is giving us geography here on Victoria bc. I never heard of this place until someone shared about Canada..all I know is Ottawa and other common areas. What about Langford bc any details on that area too. Also did not know there are Bears lol

Hi , around 3 years ago I was in this island and I discovered almost everywhere by driving the car around , I was living in fernwood , since I came back to europe every single day my brain has flash back to Victoria , the fresh weather and environment and mostly watching the Olympics mountains from James Bay Area , me and my wife are planning to go back somehow to live there again but Canadian rules are so complicated, I have my incomes from my investments , I wanted to buy the home there but It wasn’t possible because of not having Canadian ID , so what is the most smooth way to get there and live for European people ? Thanks for your information anyway 🙂

[@bchomegroup]

[@michellamontagne6092]

great video, thank you

[@bchomegroup]

Glad you liked it!

[@abeekuworldchanger380]

Sorry, just trying to understand. So for rent, where are cheap and safe neighborhoods in Victoria that would be good? Wonderful city.

[@bchomegroup]

All neighbourhoods are fairly safe and there is some personal choice that comes into play...however I would say, you can not go wrong living in Langford.

[@gabrielaguillons7196]

Hi! Thanks for this video. I'm planning to enroll in Camosun College next year. I'm moving with my husband and two kids (11 and 8 years old) which area do you recommend? Considering good schools for my kids Maybe a French immersion school. 3 bedroom 2 baths. Dog allowed.

[@bushcrafterocd8610]

BC Real Estate we are currently renting and looking to rent near Victoria until we get a vibe for the areas and settle into jobs. Oak bay looks lovely but may be a bit expensive?

Thank you for the useful info. Busy with relocating to Victoria and interested in renting in Saanich area. Would like to contact you when plans are at an advanced stage. P.S. also spent part of my childhood in Botswana, specifically Jwaneng.

[@bchomegroup]

[@stantonclark8513]

@@bchomegroup Awesome, as soon as I have all my "ducks in a row", I will make contact again, we can then take it from there. Thanks for the reply.

I'm from Winnipeg and plan on going to Victoria for the winter... and maybe move there permanently one day. This video was super helpful! Thanks so much.

[@bchomegroup]

Thank you so much Albi !

[@rayanslim]

I think gentrification is a word you were looking for once or twice.

[@bchomegroup]

thank you my friend! appreciate it :-)

[@rayanslim]

Our dream lifestyle seems to be Sooke. In the woods but " near" a major city. My wife is an accountant and although she can work for many types of companies, let's pretend that she works for an asset management firm as she does in South Africa. Friends in Sooke tell us it's 50 mins to work downtown Vic from Sooke. Is that realistic? If you're familiar with Cape Town, we live in Hout Bay and my wife doesn't mind 45mins in traffic on the coast and through town to the waterfront. Would you comment on Sooke please?

[@bchomegroup]

it all depends on traffic and what part of Sooke you live in, if there is no traffic and it is the main part of Sooke village, I would say that can be realistic.

[@Murciful]

Would love to move there. If we do I’ll call you. You sound like you know your areas :)

[@bchomegroup]

thank you so much looking forward to helping out!

[@captnjaygreybeard6394]
