Named after the distinctive trees which line its streets, this area is steeped in heritage and “Olde British” charm. Oak Bay is also one of the most desirable residential areas in the nation.

It is said, and it’s true, that Oak Bay has million-dollar views at any time of the day. The Scenic Marine Drive leads through the Royal Victoria Golf Course, the oldest course in the Pacific Northwest. Continuing along the Drive, stately mansions hug the shorelines to the east and the south in Uplands, a neighbourhood famous for having more millionaires per square mile than any other place in Canada.

The community of Oak Bay has a great dining scene and an excellent shopping district with a fantastic array of specialty shops and art galleries. Just stroll the peaceful pedestrian-friendly streets of elegant homes and gardens to fall in love with Oak Bay.
