Back to Core Victoria Overview

Esquimalt punches above its weight. This compact municipality offers waterfront access, a strong sense of community, and home prices that undercut neighbouring Victoria and Oak Bay. CFB Esquimalt anchors the local economy and shapes the neighbourhood's identity.

Whether you want a character home near Saxe Point, a condo in the growing town centre, or a family-friendly street close to good schools, Esquimalt delivers real value without sacrificing location.

Single-family homes typically range from the high $800Ks to $1.3M - noticeably less than equivalent properties in Victoria or Oak Bay. Newer condos near the town centre and Saxe Point start in the $500Ks. Buyers here include first-timers priced out of neighbouring municipalities, military families connected to the base, and investors drawn to the rental demand. Esquimalt rewards buyers willing to look past its underdog reputation.

Value

Esquimalt consistently offers lower entry points than Victoria or Oak Bay for comparable homes. First-time buyers and investors take note.

Waterfront

Saxe Point, West Bay, and the Gorge Waterway give Esquimalt more accessible shoreline per capita than almost anywhere in the CRD.

Community

Small-town feel in an urban setting. Esquimalt's tight-knit community supports local events, recreation programs, and a growing town centre.
