Oaklands Homes, Condos & MLS® Listings

About 29 Oaklands properties were for sale in early October 2026, across character houses, condos and townhomes. Oaklands is one of central Victoria's established neighbourhoods, a quiet, family-oriented area of early- and mid-century homes between Hillside Avenue and Cedar Hill Road, close to Fernwood and a short distance from downtown.

The neighbourhood mixes character houses on leafy streets with newer townhomes and condos along Hillside and Shelbourne. Prices run from the low $300,000s for a compact condo to around $1.95 million for a larger house. The Oaklands market report shows current price ranges and recent sales.

Map of Victoria showing the location of Oaklands — Oaklands is in the City of Victoria, a central neighbourhood between Hillside Avenue and Cedar Hill, just east of Fernwood and north of Oak Bay, a short distance from downtown.

Central & Quiet

A calm, established neighbourhood minutes from downtown, Fernwood and Oak Bay.

Character Homes

Leafy streets of early- and mid-century houses, many with suites or renovation potential.

Hillside Shopping

Hillside Centre and the shops along Hillside Avenue are within walking distance.

Newer Condos

Recent condo and townhome projects along Hillside and Shelbourne add options.

Oaklands Real Estate for Sale

Oaklands offers a mix of homes in one established central neighbourhood. In early October 2026 the active listings were about 11 detached houses, nine condos and five townhomes, with a couple of land or commercial listings alongside, and prices from the low $300,000s for a small condo to around $1.95 million for a larger character house. The result is a neighbourhood with options at several price points, unusual this close to downtown.

That range makes Oaklands a strong fit for first-time buyers in the condos, families in the character houses, and downsizers in the newer townhomes, all in a quiet, walkable setting.

Oaklands Houses

Detached houses are the heart of Oaklands, with about 11 for sale in early October from roughly $825,000 to $1.95 million. Most are early- and mid-century homes, from 1910s cottages to post-war and 1950s houses, on quiet streets such as Burton, Haultain, Doncaster and Victor, many with suites or the space to add one. These are the homes that give Oaklands its established, leafy character.

Oaklands Condos

Condos are the affordable entry point, with about nine for sale in early October from the low $300,000s to around $625,000, mostly one- and two-bedroom homes. They are concentrated along Hillside Avenue, including a newer building near Hillside Centre, and older low-rises on Grosvenor and Hillside. For first-time buyers and investors who want to be central and near shopping, they are the most accessible option in the neighbourhood.

Oaklands Townhomes

Townhomes are a small but growing part of the market, with about five for sale in early October from roughly $789,000 to $1.1 million, most of them new or recent projects along Shelbourne Street. Mostly three-bedroom homes, they suit families and downsizers who want newer, low-maintenance space in a central location. Supply is limited, but the main search above includes them all.

Character, Suites & Renovation

Much of Oaklands' housing is older, and many houses include a suite or the potential for one, reflecting the neighbourhood's central location and strong rental demand. A suite can help with mortgage qualification, but confirm that it is legal and permitted at the address. For a character house, budget for the realities of an older home and get a thorough inspection; the reward is character and a central location that newer areas cannot match.

Shopping, Parks & Daily Life

Oaklands is built around everyday convenience. Hillside Centre and the shops along Hillside Avenue cover groceries, pharmacies and services within walking distance of much of the neighbourhood, and the Oaklands community association and its long-running neighbourhood markets give the area a strong local identity. Parks and green space are close, and downtown, Fernwood and Oak Bay are all minutes away.

Schools & Families

Oaklands is served by the Greater Victoria School District (SD61). Oaklands Elementary is in the neighbourhood, with secondary schools nearby, and the area's quiet streets and parks make it a steady choice for families. Catchments can change, so confirm the schools for a specific address with the district before you buy.

Getting Around Oaklands

Oaklands is central and well connected. Downtown is a short drive or bus ride, the University of Victoria and Camosun College are close to the east, and Hillside and Shelbourne carry frequent transit. The neighbourhood is walkable and bikeable, with bike routes linking it to the rest of the city, which appeals to buyers who want to rely less on a car.

Who Buys in Oaklands

Oaklands draws first-time buyers and investors into the condos, families into the character houses, and downsizers into the newer townhomes, along with anyone who wants a quiet, central neighbourhood close to downtown, shopping and the university. The range of home types and prices keeps it accessible to a wide mix of buyers.

How Oaklands Compares

Oaklands is the quiet, established counterpart to its livelier neighbour Fernwood. Compare it with Fernwood to the west, and with the wider City of Victoria market and its character houses across the city.
