Living in Royal Oak offers a balance of suburban comfort and everyday convenience with shopping centres, schools, and transit close at hand. Families appreciate the quiet residential streets, while professionals value the quick commute to downtown Victoria and the airport. The area also features parks, trails, and connections to Elk and Beaver Lake Regional Park. Housing includes single family homes, townhouses, and condos that meet a range of lifestyles. 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 Royal Oak are really like.
