There is a particular feeling that comes with walking through a home that is ready for its next family. This fall I had the pleasure of listing a beautiful three bedroom townhome on Lunar Court in Westhills, and from the very first showing it was clear this home was going to connect with the right buyer. In just over a month it was sold, and it is now on its way to closing.
Every sale teaches me something about what people are looking for when they choose a neighbourhood. This one confirmed what I already believe about Westhills. Families want room to grow, easy access to the outdoors, and a community where they can put down roots, and this corner of Langford delivers all three.
A Home Built for Everyday Family Life
This townhome offered 1,645 square feet across three levels, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a finished walkout basement that works beautifully as a family room or play space. Laminate flooring runs throughout, the garage floor is professionally finished, and a permanent patio cover makes the outdoor space usable well into the rainy months. These are the kinds of practical features that make a home feel easy to live in from day one.
The backyard was the true local gem. It is one of the largest in the development, fully fenced and framed by mature hedging, with a side gate and stairs leading straight into the yard. A second gate opens directly onto the path behind the home, which is a wonderful detail for anyone with a dog, a bike, or children who would happily spend all day outside.
Why Westhills Works So Well for Families
Westhills is one of the Westshore communities I am most proud to support. Pexsisen Elementary is close by, as are Centre Mountain Lellum Middle School and Belmont Secondary, so a family can move through every stage of school without changing neighbourhoods. The Westhills YMCA, Westhills Park, and the nearby playgrounds give kids and parents a natural place to meet, and that sense of connection is what turns a street into a neighbourhood.
For families who love the outdoors, the location is hard to match. There is a dog park right next door, Creekside Trail winds through the community, and Jordie Lunn Bike Park is just minutes away. Langford Lake is close for swimming and kayaking, while Mount Wells and the Sooke Hills Wilderness (which can be viewed from this backyard) offer bigger adventures on the weekend. Quick highway access means downtown Victoria and the rest of the Island are always within easy reach.
How We Sold It in a Month
A quick sale is never luck. Before this home went live, I studied every recent sale in the development and across Westhills, paying close attention to which homes were selling and which were sitting. That research shaped a pricing strategy grounded in what buyers were actually paying, not what we hoped they might pay.
I also reviewed the strata documents in detail before listing so that any questions could be answered clearly and early. Professional photography, a description written specifically for active families, and marketing that highlighted the yard and trail access helped the right buyers find this home quickly. When the groundwork is done carefully, the sale tends to follow with far less stress for everyone involved.
Helping Families Find Their Place on the Westshore
Many of the families I work with are relocating to Vancouver Island from Toronto, Vancouver, or further afield. I made that same move from Toronto to Victoria, and having lived in 26 homes over the years, I understand how much it means to land in a neighbourhood where you feel at home quickly. I love helping newcomers picture their lives here, from the school drop off to the Saturday morning bike ride.
Working out of the Coldwell Banker Oceanside Goldstream office and serving on the Westshore Chamber of Commerce keeps me close to the people and local businesses that make this area so special. I enjoy introducing my clients to the coffee shops, trails, and neighbours that help them feel like they belong from the very first week. A sale is one moment, but community is what stays with you long after the boxes are unpacked.
If you are thinking about moving to the Westshore or selling a home here, I would be glad to sit down with you over a coffee. There is no pressure and no timeline, just an honest conversation about what your next chapter could look like.
