Cook Street Village is a vibrant, pedestrian friendly community which prides itself for its uniquely varied storefronts and heritage homes with their pitched rooflines, bay and oriel windows and traditional cladding. Like Oak Bay, it is a single-corridor community. It extends through five blocks of Cook Street: The north half (Oscar to Oliphant) is commercial in character and anchored by two major food stores and an eclectic mix of small businesses. The south half (Oliphant to Leonard) flanks Beacon Hill Park and features beautiful heritage homes along with one of Victoria’s most distinguished heritage apartments; Hampton Court.
The street’s small-town atmosphere with its wide corners and boulevards full of chestnut trees, and its proximity to both the ocean and the downtown core makes the area surrounding The Cook Street Village one of Victoria's most sought-after locations for both renters and home buyers. In fact, the Cook Street "Corridor" from the village to Fort Street contains a higher concentration of rental accommodation than any other area in Greater Victoria.
Even though the city has required new developments to provide adequate parking, finding a spot to park your car is a challenge. However, you won’t mind parking on a side street and walking because Cook Street Village’s shopfronts, open markets and outdoor restaurants are best enjoyed on foot.
