Brentwood Bay

Brentwood Bay is a picturesque seaside village in Central Saanich, set along the sheltered waters of the Saanich Inlet about 20 minutes north of downtown Victoria. Known for its marina, waterfront homes, and proximity to The Butchart Gardens, it offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle within easy reach of the city.

Read

Tucked along the eastern shore of the Saanich Inlet, Brentwood Bay is one of the Saanich Peninsula’s most sought-after seaside communities. This charming village in the District of Central Saanich blends small-town character with genuine waterfront living — a working marina, the Mill Bay ferry connection, and a walkable village core anchored by cafés, the local pub, and independent shops. It is perhaps best known as the home of The Butchart Gardens, one of Canada’s most celebrated attractions, drawing visitors from around the world each year.

For homebuyers, Brentwood Bay offers a distinctive mix of property types rarely found in a single community. Oceanfront and ocean-view estates line the inlet, taking in sunsets over the Malahat and the Coast Mountains, while established family neighbourhoods, newer developments, and rural acreages sit just minutes inland. The area is prized for its warm microclimate, protected moorage, and the kind of quiet, garden-rich setting that has made the Peninsula a favourite among families, retirees, and those relocating to Vancouver Island. With Victoria International Airport, the BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay, and downtown Victoria all within a short drive, Brentwood Bay delivers a rare balance of seaside seclusion and everyday convenience — making it an exceptional place to call home and a strong long-term investment on southern Vancouver Island.
