Living in Swartz Bay blends coastal scenery with practical convenience beside the ferry terminal and the calm waters of the Saanich Peninsula. Families and retirees enjoy pocket beaches, local trails, and quick access to the shops and services of Sidney, while travellers and professionals value the simple links to the mainland and the Gulf Islands. Housing includes single family homes, view properties, and townhomes set along quiet streets near marine amenities. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I help clients weigh shoreline access, ferry proximity, and neighbourhood traffic patterns to understand real demand and long term value in Swartz Bay.
