Living in Saanichton offers a village lifestyle framed by farmland and ocean inlets, with shops, services, and community programs at its centre. Families value schools, parks, and sports fields, while retirees enjoy a quieter pace with healthcare and amenities close at hand. Housing includes single family homes, townhomes, and acreages on the outskirts, giving buyers a range of rural and suburban options. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I highlight how Saanichton’s role as a service hub, its central location, and its rural edges shape both lifestyle and property values.
