One of the most desirable areas of Victoria.  Luxury properties abound here! Captivating offshore vistas extending for many walkable miles along its scenic coastline, Oak Bay's waterfront residential properties (Uplands district) are among the most expensive private real estate in North America. This upscale neighbourhood is prime Vancouver Island luxury property and is known for its large private gardens, historic McClure architecture and magnificent views of the Haro Strait, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains.  Oak Bay Village has a distinctly British ambience.  An air of all things English pervades and the Queen herself would feel quite at home strolling Oak Bay Avenue past the tea-rooms, pubs, antique shops and restaurants.  It has a large number of retirement communities including many upscale retirement condominiums. It is home to two world class golf courses, The Uplands Golf Club and the Victoria Golf Club, as well as, the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and the Oak Bay Marina.
