Living in Sooke offers rugged West Coast beauty with easy access to beaches, marinas, and regional parks like East Sooke and Whiffin Spit. The community is known for its outdoor recreation, small town feel, and growing services that support families, retirees, and newcomers alike. Housing includes waterfront estates, rural acreages, and subdivisions that balance affordability with natural surroundings. 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 Sooke are really like.
