Townhomes for Sale in Cedar Hill
Townhomes are an active part of the Cedar Hill market, running from established two- and three-bedroom homes to new four-bedroom plans. They are found around Cedar Hill Road, Garnet Road, Louise Place and McKenzie, a mix of newer projects and well-run complexes from the 1980s and 1990s, so the choice comes down to size, age and position. The live map and statistics above show how many are available now and at what prices.
For families and downsizers who want house-like space without the upkeep, in a green and central part of Saanich near the university, Cedar Hill townhomes are among the better-value options in the area.
New & Established Townhomes
Cedar Hill townhomes range from newer projects, such as those on Louise Place, to established complexes from the 1980s and 1990s. An established complex often means a larger floor plan and mature landscaping at a lower price per square foot; a newer home means contemporary finishes and fewer maintenance questions. Weigh the two against your budget and how long you plan to stay.
Strata Documents for a Cedar Hill Townhome
In any Cedar Hill complex, read the strata documents before you commit. Check the bylaws on pets, rentals and age, review the budget and the depreciation report, and understand the monthly fee and what it covers. In a complex from the 1980s or 1990s, ask about the contingency fund and any planned roofing, siding or envelope work; a well-funded strata is worth paying for.
Three-Bedroom Townhomes for Families
Most Cedar Hill townhomes are three-bedroom homes, many with a garage and a patio, which makes them a genuine alternative to a detached house for families who want more space than a condo without the upkeep of a house. The location, close to the golf course, the recreation centre, schools and UVic, adds to the appeal for households with children and for downsizers staying in the area.
Cedar Hill Townhomes for Sale Near Schools and Fields
For a family, the school run is short. Cedar Hill Middle School on Cedar Hill Road opened its new, seismically safe building to students in September 2025, replacing a school that was nearly a century old. Braefoot Elementary sits on Harrop Road and Doncaster Elementary on Rowan Street, though catchments are set by the Greater Victoria School District and should be confirmed for each address. After school, Braefoot Park at McKenzie Avenue and Braefoot Road has baseball, lacrosse and soccer fields used by Lakehill Soccer Association and Saanich Minor Lacrosse, plus a playground and washrooms.
Recreation Programs a Short Walk Away
Cedar Hill Recreation Centre on Cedar Hill Road gives townhome families a gymnasium, multi-purpose rooms, drop-in sports and racquet sports, and it hosts birthday parties. The Arts Centre inside has a dance studio, a ceramics studio and visual arts studios with an open-studio program. Next door, the public 18-hole golf course is open year-round and adds FootGolf and a short-game practice area, while the 3.5-kilometre chip trail around it suits strollers and evening walks.
Townhomes Along McKenzie Avenue and Cedar Hill Road
The complexes on the north side of Cedar Hill, near McKenzie Avenue, sit on one of Saanich's main east-west roads. BC Transit's routes 26 and 40 both run to UVic by way of McKenzie, which suits a household with a student or staff member on campus, and Braefoot Park's fields are close by. Complexes farther south along Cedar Hill Road and Garnet Road are nearer the recreation centre, the start of route 24 and the shops at the Hillside end. Inside Cedar Hill Park, King's Pond, a small nature sanctuary of about 0.3 hectares, makes a quiet stop on a family walk. When comparing two similar townhomes, walk from each to the park trail and the nearest bus stop, since a few blocks in either direction can change daily routines more than an extra hundred square feet.
Size, Layout & Garages
Cedar Hill townhomes commonly run from around 1,100 square feet to larger family plans above 2,000, and most have a garage and usable outdoor space. Look at the orientation, the natural light, how the levels suit your household and where visitor parking sits, since these vary from complex to complex and matter in daily life.
Saanich Plans and New Townhomes
New townhomes keep appearing in and around Cedar Hill because Saanich's plans make room for them. The Shelbourne Valley Plan, which runs along Shelbourne Street from North Dairy Road north to Thelma Place, includes an urban townhome designation of up to three storeys as a step down from taller buildings on the corridor to the houses behind. Since June 30, 2024, Saanich's small-scale multi-unit housing rules have also allowed three to six units on many residential lots, so small groups of townhouse-style homes can replace single houses. For a buyer, that means more choice over time and, occasionally, construction next door.
Price per Square Foot for Cedar Hill Townhomes
Price per square foot is a useful way to compare one Cedar Hill townhome with another, with the newest homes commanding more. A newer home, a better position and a well-funded strata can justify paying above the raw number. The live statistics above show the current average for the neighbourhood.
Commuting From a Cedar Hill Townhome
Route 24 begins at Garnet Road and Cedar Hill Road and heads through downtown Victoria to Tillicum Centre, so townhome owners near Garnet have a bus close at hand. Commuters to UVic and Camosun's Lansdowne campus can use route 4 along Hillside Avenue or the frequent Shelbourne Street routes. Check BC Transit's current maps for the stop nearest a particular complex.
Who Buys a Cedar Hill Townhome
The typical buyer is a family wanting house-like space near schools, the golf course and the university without the price or upkeep of a detached home, or a downsizer trading a larger house for a low-maintenance one in the area. Buyers moving up from a condo also find townhomes here. The mix of new and established complexes keeps choice available.
