Oak Bay

"Sub Quercu Felicitas"      "Under the Oak Good Fortune"

The most desirable area of Victoria.  Luxury properties abound here. Captivating offshore vistas extend for many miles along its scenic coastline. Oak Bay's waterfront residential properties (particularly The Uplands) are among the most expensive private real estate in North America.

This upscale neighbourhood is prime luxury property and is known for its large private gardens, historic McClure architecture and magnificent views of the Haro Strait, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains.  Oak Bay Village has a distinctly British ambience.  An air of all things English pervades as you stroll Oak Bay Avenue past the tea-rooms, pubs, antique shops and restaurants. 

It has a large number of retirement communities including many upscale retirement condominiums. It is home to two world class golf courses, The Uplands Golf Club and the Victoria Golf Club, as well as, the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and the Oak Bay Marina.

It has a population of around 18,000 and an altitude of 10 metres.  There are many smaller communities within Oak Bay, each having their own distinct flavour.  Check the many listings on my website at www.laurette.ca.

Oak Bay's motto "Sub Quercu Felicitas", (Latin), is certainly true if you are an owner of property here!
