Why the Owner Chose Victoria
Victoria is a wonderful city, its big enough to have all the amenities you could wish for and small enough to get around easily. Restaurants are fabulous, there is live theatre, the ocean is there for enjoying, the surrounding towns are picturesque and interesting, the greenery is amazing, it is culturally rich, the climate is temperate...what more could you want?
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Where we live is close to the hub of the city (15 min walk); 2 minutes to the Galloping Goose trail for walking or cycling (we have 2 bikes to use). There is a harbour ferry dock, which is wonderful to use if you want to access some of the other attractions like Fisherman's wharf (and you don't want to walk or cycle). Next door is a full service supermarket with pharmacy, liquor store, medical clinic, Starbaucks and more. Imagine, you run out of olives and in 5 minutes you have them, just in case you want to make a martini!
Owner's Map of Victoria
We are Canadian prairie people, but those winters are harsh. We always dreamed of living on the west coast, so now we do (at least for part of the year)
