Some purchases come together because the timing is right, the home is right, and the buyers are ready. That was exactly the case with Unit 1 at 840 Craigflower Road in Esquimalt, and I am so pleased to share that my clients have officially found their next chapter here.
This is a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhome in Shangri La Estates, a well-established strata community sitting right on the edge of Esquimalt and Vic West. At 1,315 finished square feet over two levels, it lives generously. There is a fully renovated kitchen that was taken to the studs in 2020 and rebuilt with real care, a dining area large enough for a proper dinner party, a private patio with access to common green space, and three bedrooms upstairs with a full 4-piece bath. The updates throughout are the kind that matter: hard flooring, soundproofing between units, vinyl windows, and a newer hot water tank. This was a home that had been genuinely looked after.
What made this purchase meaningful was not just the home itself but the process of getting my clients there. Of the couple, one of them was a first-time buyer. They were navigating a market with two active listings in the same complex at the same price. Understanding what each unit offered, how the strata was run, and what the numbers actually meant for their long-term budget was the work we focused on together. They did not just buy a home. They made an informed decision about a community they are going to love being part of.
Esquimalt is a neighbourhood that rewards curiosity. The walk to Banfield Park and the dock, the proximity to schools and shopping, the easy connection to downtown Victoria on foot or by bike — it all adds up to a place that feels like home quickly. I have watched this pocket of the city grow in confidence over the years, and it is a genuinely wonderful place to put down roots.
If you are starting your own search in Esquimalt or anywhere across Greater Victoria, I would love to help you find the right fit. Let's talk.
