Hey thanks for sharing. I have been watching your channel for some time now. It is very informative. Oak Bay brings fond memories, and so does Cadboro Bay. I am 42, and I used to go to Cadboro Bay Park when I was a child with my parents. I am coming out to Vic in May. Can't wait!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback!!!! I grew up in Gordon head and also used to go to cadboro bay park all the time, the octopus and serpent are so cool! If you ever need a Realtor in town I’d love to help you!
I've been living in Oak Bay since 2021. It's a great place to raise a family, my kids specifically adjusted to it fairly qucikly. I saw that you passed by not far off from where i live.
Hey Ken and thanks for the comment, we live in Rockland but Oak Bay would be our first choice, maybe in a couple of years, but gotta save up a bit more yet 😄
It’s been four month now in Oak bay and I am absolutely loving it. This hood is chic with beautiful mansions, golf courses, beaches, parks, and elegant restaurants. It’s definitely expensive for a reason and this may filter out unnecessary crowd which I like it.
amazing, glad you're loving it! it's pretty beautiful! Hope you're close to willows beach, I love eating fish and chips on the beach there in the summer!
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Carmelo Hank I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Try buying a house in Nova Scotia in 2021 - You will rack your brain to death as they are skyrocketing and even if you can afford it, you'll find that there's really nothing here once you get here
Have lived in Oak Bay since 1994. It was a great place but things are changing. Traffic is awful, parking in OB village is next to impossible. Development is rampant. Beautiful homes are being razed with square box McMansions built in their place. What bothers us the most is the "entitled" attitude of many people. Women are driving very large SUVs and think they own the road. Stop signs are ignored and to top it off the roads are in terrible shape. Very rough and bumpy. It's a busy place and no longer quaint. Police presence is minimal so rules of the road are ignored.
Thanks so much for your comment, that's exciting that you are planning to move. Oak Bay is certainly the most expensive neighbourhood that Victoria has to offer but there are many other more affordable neighbourhoods. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to hop on a call to discuss your real estate goals and options.
Lived in Oak Bay since 1987 and I can’t imagine wanting to live anywhere else. Probably the best video I’ve seen on my neighbourhood, thanks!
I had fun making the video, have a great 2022

@@ainsleygowervictoriarealestate I can only hope it becomes more affordable with time.

Oak Bay is the jewel of Victoria --- lovely homes, a quaint British-style village, and a very relaxed lifestyle. It reminds me a little of Carmel.

@Carmelo Hank It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Cain Roberto Glad I could help xD
Fun fact about Oak Bay and surrounding areas in this video is that most of the Hallmark movies are filmed in uplands and Fernwood area 😅
I did not know that? I knew there were a lot of movies filmed here but not those details
Best video on Oak Bay I have seen
Beautiful city!! Thanks for making this video :)
Still cheaper than housing in Toronto. Been to Victoria 4 times so far and my favorite city in Canada.

I agree
Swell 👍🏻
