Living in James Bay offers seaside walks, historic architecture, and a friendly village feel next to downtown Victoria. Residents enjoy Beacon Hill Park, the Inner Harbour, and a walkable network of shops, cafés, and services. Housing includes character homes, heritage conversions, and condo buildings with ocean and city views. 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 James Bay are really like.
