Living in South Oak Bay offers a blend of character homes, oceanside walks, and a welcoming village atmosphere. Residents enjoy strolling along Beach Drive, exploring Anderson Hill Park, and relaxing at McNeill Bay. Families and retirees value the quiet streets, mature trees, and close proximity to schools, shops, and cafés. Housing includes heritage homes, ocean view estates, and condos that appeal to both downsizers and buyers seeking prestige. With more than 30 years of Island knowledge, I show how proximity to beaches, heritage character, and lifestyle amenities influence property values in South Oak Bay and make it one of Victoria’s most sought after communities.
