Choosing the Right Neighbourhood in Greater Victoria

New to Victoria?

It can be a daunting task to decide where you want to settle. Here are four tips to help you make your final decision on where to live a bit easier:

Contact the municipality

Municipalities have plenty of information on hand including brochures and booklets containing the locations of colleges, libraries, ambulance stations, hospitals, parks and transit stops. They will help you locate community amenities such as recreation centres, swimming pools and ice rinks, and they will inform you on the programs they offer.

Call the local police and fire departments

Ask about response time to emergencies and the locations of their service stations.

Contact local school boards

The School Districts will be happy to give you information on the locations of elementary and secondary schools within their jurisdictions. Take the time to mark the routes your children would take to their school(s).

Talk with a Realtor®

I can offer you general advice and information on many of the above topics. Realtors® have access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) and can provide you with a customized list of properties available for sale in the neighbourhood of your choice. I would be honoured should you choose to work with me.
