Lagoon Real Estate Market
A bird sanctuary on one side and a beach on the other.Lagoon real estate market values reflect the stretch along Esquimalt Lagoon, where a sand spit separates sheltered water from the open strait.
Lagoon Real Estate Market Overview
Esquimalt Lagoon sits at the eastern edge of Colwood, with a long spit carrying the road between the lagoon and the ocean beach.
It is a migratory bird sanctuary, and the property nearby is a mix of older waterfront homes and residential streets set back from the water.
Two kinds of water, a few metres apart. The spit puts sheltered lagoon on one side and open beach on the other. Very few locations anywhere offer both from the same address.
