Oaklands is one of Victoria’s most well-rounded and welcoming neighbourhoods—offering a balance of green space, walkable shopping, excellent schools, and a real sense of community. Whether you're looking to buy your first home, raise a family, or downsize into a peaceful yet connected area, Oaklands has plenty to offer. Here's everything you need to know if you're considering moving to Oaklands.

Parks and Outdoor Spaces in Oaklands

One of Oaklands’ biggest draws is its abundance of green spaces. Oaklands Park, right in the heart of the neighbourhood, is more than just a local playground—it’s a gathering place. The park features open fields, a soccer pitch, tennis courts, and a large children’s playground. It’s also home to a thriving community garden and seasonal events hosted by the Oaklands Community Association.

Hillside Park, just a short distance away, is where you'll find Little League baseball diamonds, wide-open grassy areas, and shaded walking paths that make it ideal for dog owners and young families alike.

Another hidden gem is Oswald Park, a smaller, quieter space with picnic areas and shady benches. It’s popular with locals for afternoon reads, informal gatherings, and peaceful walks. Nearby, the Kings Road Woonerf project has transformed a traditional street into a shared pedestrian-priority space—complete with native landscaping and community benches under mature Garry Oaks.

If outdoor lifestyle matters to you, Oaklands delivers it in spades.

Shopping, Dining, and Everyday Conveniences

For everyday shopping, Oaklands offers unmatched accessibility. Hillside Shopping Centre is the area’s largest retail hub, featuring over 100 stores, including Walmart, Sport Chek, Marshalls, Bolen Books, and Canadian Tire. You’ll also find essential services like banks, pharmacies, a food court, and a Thrifty Foods grocery store—all within a few minutes’ drive or bus ride.

Beyond the mall, Oaklands supports local businesses through smaller retail pockets like Haultain Corners. This charming local strip, at the intersection of Haultain and Cook Streets, features cozy cafés, bakeries, boutiques, and family-run medical and dental offices. It gives the neighbourhood a walkable, village-like vibe that makes everyday errands feel personal and relaxed.

Community and Events That Bring People Together

Oaklands is known for its strong sense of community, which is anchored by the Oaklands Community Centre. This hub of activity hosts year-round programming, including art classes, fitness groups, after-school care, youth programs, and parenting workshops. There’s even licensed daycare and preschool for young families.

One of the area’s most celebrated events is the Oaklands Sunset Market, held every Wednesday evening in summer. This popular outdoor market features over 50 vendors—ranging from organic produce to artisan crafts—and includes live music, food trucks, a kid-friendly play zone, and even a casual beer garden. It’s one of those neighbourhood rituals that people genuinely look forward to every week.

Transit and Walkability in Oaklands

Oaklands is one of Victoria’s most walkable neighbourhoods, with a Walk Score consistently in the high 70s to 80s. Whether you’re heading to a grocery store, school, park, or coffee shop, chances are it’s just a short walk or bike ride away.

Transit connections are another key asset. Major bus routes like the 4, 8, 22, 27, and 28 run frequently along Hillside Avenue, Cook Street, and Shelbourne Street. These routes provide quick access to downtown Victoria, the University of Victoria, and Camosun College. For commuters, the area is also served by the Blink RapidBus system—offering high-frequency service and reduced travel times to central destinations.

Cyclists will appreciate the dedicated bike lanes along key corridors, as well as the increasing number of bike racks and safe crossings throughout the neighbourhood.

Housing and Development in Oaklands

Oaklands’ real estate landscape offers something for everyone—from charming heritage homes to newer, more affordable infill developments. Many of the single-family homes date back to the early 20th century, boasting craftsman-style architecture and mature gardens. More recently, townhomes and small apartment complexes have been developed to meet growing demand while maintaining the area’s friendly residential scale.

Notable recent developments like Sparrow on Hillside Avenue add modern rental and ownership opportunities to the mix. These low-rise, energy-efficient buildings reflect the City of Victoria’s commitment to smart density and walkable urban growth. There are also plans for further infill and gentle density increases under the city's neighbourhood plans, which prioritize maintaining the area's character while supporting more housing options.

Home prices vary widely depending on the type and location, but generally range from the mid-$600,000s for condos to $1.5M+ for detached homes.

Schools, Childcare, and Education Access

If you're moving to Oaklands with children, you'll appreciate the access to top-rated schools. The neighbourhood is served by Oaklands Elementary School, a well-established public school surrounded by playgrounds, Garry Oak trees, and active parent involvement. Other nearby elementary options include Quadra Elementary, Cloverdale Traditional School, and George Jay Elementary.

For middle and secondary education, students often attend Lansdowne Middle School and Victoria High School. Families seeking private or independent options are just minutes away from St. Michael’s University School and other excellent institutions.

Childcare options in Oaklands are plentiful, including the licensed preschool and daycare facilities operated directly through the Oaklands Community Centre. This proximity makes early childhood care and education exceptionally convenient for young families.

Post-secondary access is also strong. Camosun College’s Lansdowne campus is less than a kilometre from Hillside Shopping Centre, and the University of Victoria is just a 10-minute drive or bus ride away.

Why Oaklands Is One of Victoria’s Best Places to Live

What sets Oaklands apart is the unique mix of established charm, active community life, and practical accessibility. The neighbourhood feels lived-in, loved, and full of possibility. It’s where you’ll find children playing in leafy parks, neighbours chatting over coffee at a corner café, and families enjoying a laid-back evening at the local sunset market.

With its blend of heritage homes, modern infill housing, outstanding schools, green spaces, and proximity to everything, Oaklands truly offers the best of both worlds: peaceful residential living with all the perks of an urban lifestyle just minutes away.

If you're considering buying a home in Victoria, Oaklands is absolutely worth a closer look.
