Living in East Saanich offers a blend of country charm and suburban convenience with farms, parks, and shoreline access across the Saanich Peninsula. Families and retirees value the calm residential feel, nearby schools, and simple travel to Sidney, Royal Oak, and downtown Victoria. Housing includes single family homes, acreages, and townhomes in neighbourhoods that balance green space with daily amenities. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I track actual market value and market movement so you can see what daily life and housing in East Saanich are really like.
