Oak Bay

Oak-Bay-Wallpaper-Harbour-16x9[1]

Oak Bay is a distinct municipality located to the east of Victoria which was incorporated in 1906.

From its scenic coastline with breathtaking foreshore vistas to its luxury apartments and stately mansions, this is one of the most desirable residential areas in Greater Victoria. Architecture ranges from the late 19th century style of such pre-eminent architects as Francis Rattenbury and Samuel McLure to the contemporary West Coast style of today’s fine architects.

Property owners take pride in maintaining their impeccably manicured lawns and fine landscaping. Canopies of trees enhance the attractiveness of the area and are passionately protected.

The neighborhood is home to two world class golf courses, the Uplands Golf Club and Victoria Golf Club. Additionally, the beautiful marina and the prestigious Royal Victoria Yacht Club. There are three recreation centers in the municipality. The main shopping areas of Oak Bay Avenue and Estevan maintain a welcoming village-like atmosphere.

This neighborhood shares the University of Victoria and Camosun College with the neighboring municipality of Saanich.
