Whether you’re drawn to a classic Tudor, a cozy cottage, or a thoughtfully renovated modern home, Oak Bay offers a unique mix that appeals to a wide range of buyers — from young families to downsizers and retirees.

A True Village Feel
At the heart of Oak Bay is Oak Bay Village, a vibrant, walkable hub with a pub, local shops, galleries, and cafés. It’s the kind of place where people say hello, store owners know your name, and everything you need is just a stroll away — from artisan bakeries to boutique clothing stores.

Coastal Living at Its Finest
Oak Bay is bordered by the ocean on three sides, offering endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Walk your dog at Willows Beach, launch a kayak from the Oak Bay Marina, or enjoy a quiet coffee with a sea view. Scenic drives, walking paths, and stunning sunsets are part of daily life here.
