The neighbourhood

Nature, Ocean, and Local Convenience

Colwood sits at the intersection of everything the West Shore has to offer. The Galloping Goose Trail runs directly past Marakai, giving you instant access to one of Vancouver Island's most beloved multi-use trails. Millstream Creek flows nearby, and Mill Hill Regional Park, Thetis Lake, and the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre are all within minutes. For everyday needs, you're equally well positioned. Thrifty Foods, Costco, Walmart, and Westshore Town Centre are all nearby. Royal Roads University and the University of Victoria are accessible for students and academics. And for dining and unwinding, the neighbourhood's local favourites, from the Six Mile Pub to Pilgrim Coffee House, make it easy to feel like a local from day one.
