Victoria, the ‘Garden City’ and capital of British Columbia, is a coveted place to live and has become a celebrated destination for visitors from around the globe. The city has a rich history, thriving economy, and vibrant arts and cultural scene. Located in a sub-Mediterranean zone, Victoria enjoys the mildest climate in Canada with over 2,100 hours of sunshine each year. This, combined with its spectacular outdoor setting adorned with ocean views, beaches, and mountain vistas, encourage year round recreational opportunities including hiking, golfing, cycling, gardening and kayaking.
This oceanside jewel is home to around 400,000 residents, making it the perfect size for offering numerous world-class amenities, but retaining a cozy familiarity often only found in smaller centres. In addition, the capital welcomes over four million visitors annually.
Victoria is truly a “city of villages,” as it is comprised of thirteen distinct municipalities, each with its own unique flavour. Many communities throughout the region are anchored by smaller, walkable ‘village’ hubs that contribute to the city’s small-town feel.
From established residential communities like Oak Bay, to pastoral areas like Metchosin, to a bustling downtown with nearly limitless options for entertainment, dining, and shopping, to dynamic and fast-growing districts like Langford, Victoria truly has something for everyone.
