Unlike many of the towns and cities found on Vancouver Island, Colwood real estate is made up of a diverse selection of housing styles and designs. Many of the small towns in the area simply offer farmhouses or other detached, single-family homes. Colwood, much like the neighbouring city of Victoria, offers a grand selection of freestanding homes, attached townhomes, condos, and plots of land.
The current population of Colwood sits around 17,000, and the city is continuing to grow. In fact, Colwood is one of the fastest growing seasid communities in the province. As such, the real estate market has had to expand and develop in recent years. This means that there are plenty of new and modern homes to choose from as well as long-established homes that have occupied the area since the city's inception.
With over 7 kilometres of oceanfront space, there are many opportunities for potential homebuyers to snatch up a gorgeous waterfront property. These coveted homes tend to sit on the more expensive end of the real estate market, but living right on the water is definitely worth the expense!
Along with the growing population, the demand for houses also grows. Colwood offers not only new home developments, but the opportunity to purchase empty plots of land in order to design and build your dream home. Land in Colwood is a very coveted item on the real estate market and can sell for anywhere from the mid $100,000s to more than $2 million, depending on the location and the size of the lot.

The southern Vancouver Island climate allows for outdoor enjoyment all year long as the winters are mild and the summers are warm and dry.

Just a few of the most popular parks include:
Esquimalt Lagoon: This natural lagoon is semi-enclosed by sand and gravel barriiers and surrounds popular recreational areas that many Colwood residents frequent all year long. Esquimalt Lagoon is a well known Migratory Bird Sanctuary, which was designated back in 1931. Thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds find a sheltered habitat to rest and feed during their migration south in the fall and back again in the spring.
The Esquimalt Lagoon is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike who want to hike the many trails, swim, snorkel, kayak, or simply sit and birdwatch. This tranquil setting is a local favourite among Colwood residents and is one of the most beautiful and biologically diverse ecosystems in the country.

Although Colwood is filled with interesting amenities and all the staples you need for modern living, sometimes it's nice to venture out into neighbouring cities and towns to see what they have to offer. Colwood is also surrounded by a handful of beautiful cities, including:
Langford: Neighbouring Colwood directly to the north is the city of Langford. Langford is another of Greater Victoria's fastest growing cities, home to more than 40,000 people.
Colwood residents who venture into the city of Langford can enjoy a variety of fantastic amenities. One of the most notable amenities is the excellent collection of shops to peruse. Langford is home to the Westshore Town Centre, which provides shoppers with a number of popular retail names, locally run boutiques, and dining options. Downtown Langford also hosts a plethora of stores and services and is filled with unique shopping and dining experiences for all to enjoy.
Metchosin: Metchosin is a quaint community with a Mediterranean climate featuring warm summer months. This small city can be found just 8.3 kilometres southwest of Colwood, which is just a 10 minute drive. Colwood locals can easily venture out to explore all that Metchosin has to offer.
Visitors to the Metchosin can enjoy well maintained parks that offer hiking through mature trees, beautiful waterfalls, stretches of lagoons and walking along rocky shorelines.
View Royal: View Royal is another town known for its rich history and is located approximately 10 minutes northeast of Colwood. Many visitors come to View Royal all throughout the year to explore some of the many historical sites.
Among the selection of heritage sites to visit and learn about are the Four Mile Pub, the Six Mile Pub, and the Craigflower Manor and Schoolhouse. These locations have roots going back more than 150 year, and there is ample opportunity to get a glimpse into a different era and see what life was like way back when on Vancouver Island.
Saanich: As the 8th most populous city in all of British Columbia, Saanich is home to more than 120,000 people. It's not hard to see why so many people choose to live and visit this area as there are dozens of lakefront and oceanfront homes, restaurants, shops, and venues to take advantage of as well as a perfect mixture of urban and rural neighbourhoods and landscapes.
The Saanich Peninsula is, obviously, surrounded by water and so it's a popular destination for those looking to venture out onto the waters via boat, sailing excursions, kayaking and canoeing, or stick closer to shore and snorkel or surf along the beaches.
According to Maclean's Magazine, Colwood is among the top 25 communities to live in Canada.
