Market data for homes listed inside the Craigflower Elementary catchment around the western Gorge Waterway, covering Saanich’s Gorge area, Esquimalt’s Gorge Vale and Kinsmen Park, and View Royal’s Glentana. The figures are generated from current MLS® data and update as homes are listed, sold or repriced.
Catchment market caution: About 30 homes were listed inside the catchment at the start of November 2026, ranging from manufactured homes near $100,000 to detached houses around $1.85 million, so the averages swing widely with the mix on the market. A catchment address does not guarantee a place at Craigflower Elementary.

How to Read the Numbers
Understanding Catchment Market Data
Three municipalities and four very different kinds of housing share this catchment, so a catchment-wide average blends homes that rarely compete with one another.
01
Manufactured Homes Change the Math
About a fifth of the listings were manufactured homes in View Royal, most asking $225,000 to $500,000. They pull the average price down sharply, and their ownership structure and monthly costs can differ a great deal from those of a strata condo or a detached house.
02
Three Municipalities, Three Rule Books
Listings sit in Saanich, Esquimalt and View Royal, each with its own property taxes, zoning and services. Detached houses on the Saanich side are mostly 1930s to 1950s homes while Esquimalt adds newer condos, so compare a listing with others in the same municipality.
03
Boundaries Are Not a Guarantee
Catchment lines, pathways and registration rules can change, and the district’s 2021 seismic consultation on Craigflower and Shoreline was suspended without a published decision. Confirm the current catchment and school plans with School District 61 (Greater Victoria).
04
Active Listings vs. Completed Sales
The statistics describe what sellers are currently asking and how long listings have been on the market. They are not a sold-price index. Valuing a specific home takes recent comparable sales, current competition and adjustments for that home.
