Choosing the right neighbourhood is one of the most important decisions any family can make. In 2026, Victoria continues to offer an array of communities, each with unique features, schools, parks, and amenities that shape your everyday life.
Oak Bay remains a perennial favourite for families, thanks to its walkable streets, safe environment, and proximity to renowned schools and beaches. Saanich is a top choice as well, providing spacious homes, excellent education options, and easy access to outdoor recreation.
Cordova Bay is becoming increasingly popular for its sense of community, seaside charm, and family-friendly events. In Sidney, families enjoy small-town warmth, top-rated elementary schools, and community festivals year-round.
What makes these neighbourhoods exceptional? Beyond just houses, the emphasis is on community involvement—think local markets, parent-run groups, and welcoming parks where kids can play safely. It’s the kind of place where families build not only a home, but lasting friendships.
