View Listings About LangfordAbout Langford
Langford has been Greater Victoria's growth story for two decades and shows no sign of slowing. The city has aggressively permitted residential development — new subdivisions climbing up the hillsides, mid-rise towers rising along Veterans Memorial Parkway, master-planned communities absorbing the westward push of Greater Victoria's population — and built the commercial infrastructure to match. Westshore Town Centre, major retail corridors along Goldstream and Jacklin, a growing restaurant scene, and the HarbourCats baseball stadium have created a commercial base that reduces the Westshore's dependence on downtown Victoria in ways that were simply not the case a decade ago.
Bear Mountain sits above the city on the hillside — a resort community built around two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses with elevated views across the Westshore toward the Olympic Mountains of Washington State. It represents a different real estate product within Langford's boundaries: resort-style living with hotel amenities, residential properties across price points, and a distinctly different character from the city's active suburban development zones below. For buyers who want the resort lifestyle within the Capital Regional District rather than commuting distance from it, Bear Mountain delivers that within Langford's city limits.
For buyers, Langford is where Greater Victoria's new housing market happens. Newer construction across a range of types — subdivisions, townhomes, mid-rise condos — at average prices around $750,000 that sit above Colwood but below Saanich and Oak Bay's established neighbourhoods. Entry-level condos start below $500,000, making Langford one of the Capital Region's more accessible entry points without sacrificing the Vancouver Island lifestyle. Victoria is 20-25 kilometres east; the Westshore's growing commercial base means many buyers work locally. For families, first-time buyers, and move-up buyers who want newer housing stock and active community amenities, Langford is where the action is.

Langford Real Estate — FAQ
Why is Langford called BC's fastest-growing city?
Langford has been among BC's fastest-growing municipalities for over a decade — Greater Victoria's primary new housing development zone where buyers who can't or choose not to pay downtown Victoria prices find the most active new construction. The city has aggressively permitted development, built commercial infrastructure, and attracted major retail. Its population has more than doubled since 2001.
What is Langford like as a community?
Langford is the Westshore's commercial engine with big-box retail, Westshore Town Centre, restaurant corridors, and active residential subdivisions. It has also developed a genuine downtown core along Veterans Memorial Parkway with mid-rise towers and civic amenities. The community is younger and more family-oriented than much of the Capital Regional District.
What types of properties are available in Langford?
Langford offers newer detached homes in master-planned subdivisions, condos and townhomes in the growing downtown core, and Bear Mountain resort properties. Average prices around $750,000 with entry-level condos below $500,000 make Langford one of Greater Victoria's more accessible entry points with newer housing stock.
What is Bear Mountain?
Bear Mountain is a master-planned resort community above Langford featuring two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, resort hotel amenities, and residential properties from condos to estate lots. It offers elevated views across the Westshore toward the Olympic Mountains and typically commands prices above Langford city averages.
How far is Langford from downtown Victoria?
Langford is approximately 20-25 kilometres from downtown Victoria via Highway 1 — about 20-30 minutes under normal conditions. BC Transit provides regular service. The city's growing commercial base means an increasing proportion of residents work locally in Langford rather than commuting to Victoria.
What is the BC Property Transfer Tax?
BC charges a Property Transfer Tax (PTT) on all real estate purchases: 1% on the first $200,000, 2% on $200,001 to $2,000,000, and 3% on the portion over $2,000,000. First-time buyers purchasing a home under $500,000 may qualify for a full PTT exemption.
