Arbutus Real Estate Market
Close to the university and closer to the water.Arbutus real estate market values benefit from a position between the university and the shoreline, which is the most sought after stretch of Saanich East.
Arbutus Real Estate Market Overview
The Arbutus area sits east of the university towards the water, a residential neighbourhood of largely mid century housing on good lots.
It is within walking distance of the campus for many properties and a short walk to the beaches at Cadboro Bay for a good number more.
Two amenities, both on foot. The campus and the shoreline within walking distance of the same house is a scarce combination and it is priced accordingly.
