Central Saanich Homes Offer Rural Lifestyles with the City Close By

If you’re looking for a vibrant and growing place to live close to Victoria, take a look at Central Saanich homes. The area was first mostly rural farms. In recent years there has been a lot of residential development, but there are still several hobby farms and working vineyards. Brentwood Bay and Saanichton, which are sometimes considered separate communities, have seen the most residential, commercial, and industrial development. Victoria is located around 17 kilometers to the south, via either BC-17 or the bus. This makes it an easy commute for work or to go shopping or out to eat in downtown Victoria.
