Living in Keating blends family neighbourhoods with practical access to the Keating business district, schools, parks, and commuter routes across the Saanich Peninsula. Residents appreciate the short drive to farm markets and shoreline viewpoints, while professionals value connections to Victoria, the airport, and the ferry. Housing includes single family homes, townhomes, and acreages on the rural edges, giving buyers a mix of suburban convenience and country feel. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I explain how school catchments, employment nearby, and central location influence day to day living and long term value in Keating.
