Search houses, condos and townhomes for sale in Royal Oak, the Saanich neighbourhood around Royal Oak Drive and West Saanich Road, close to Elk and Beaver Lakes, Commonwealth Place and the Pat Bay Highway.
About 39 Royal Oak properties were for sale in early October 2026, across detached houses, condos and townhomes. Royal Oak is one of Saanich's most convenient neighbourhoods, a short drive from downtown yet right at the edge of Elk and Beaver Lakes, with the Pat Bay Highway, shopping and recreation close at hand.
The neighbourhood centres on the junction of Royal Oak Drive and West Saanich Road, near the Royal Oak and Broadmead shopping areas. Newer condo and townhome projects such as Travino sit alongside established post-war houses. The Royal Oak market report shows current price ranges and recent sales.
The regional park on the doorstep offers swimming, rowing, trails and beaches a few minutes away.
Saanich Commonwealth Place, built for the 1994 Games, has pools, a gym and programs nearby.
The Pat Bay Highway, Royal Oak Shopping Centre and Broadmead Village are all close.
Established houses sit beside newer condo and townhome projects such as Travino.
Royal Oak offers a mix of home types in one well-connected Saanich neighbourhood. In early October 2026 the active listings split into about eight detached houses, 15 condos and 14 townhomes, with a few commercial and land listings alongside. Residential prices ran from the mid $400,000s for a one-bedroom condo to about $1.3 million for a detached house, with newer condos and townhomes making up much of the supply.
That range makes Royal Oak a flexible choice, from first-time buyers and downsizers in the condos and townhomes to families in the houses, all within easy reach of the lakes, the highway and the shopping that define the area.
Detached houses are the smallest part of the current market, with about eight for sale in early October from roughly $775,000 to $1.3 million. Many are post-war and 1980s homes on established streets such as Miller Avenue, Mann Avenue and the roads off Wilkinson, some with large lots and suite potential. Because there are relatively few, the detached listings are covered within the broader Royal Oak search rather than a separate page.
Condos are the largest part of the Royal Oak market, concentrated in newer buildings near Elk Lake Drive, Marsett Place and the Travino development off West Saanich Road. In early October they ran from the mid $400,000s to about $1.4 million, averaging around $710,000, mostly one- and two-bedroom homes. The Royal Oak condos for sale page looks at them in detail.
Townhomes are an active and family-friendly part of the neighbourhood, found around Marsett Place, Wilkinson Road and newer projects near Elk Lake. In early October they ran from about $650,000 to $1.175 million, averaging around $950,000, mostly three-bedroom homes. See the Royal Oak townhomes for sale page.
Royal Oak's best-known feature is Elk and Beaver Lake Regional Park, on the neighbourhood's eastern edge. The park offers swimming beaches, a rowing course used by local and national crews, fishing, and a loop trail around the lakes popular with walkers and runners. For an active household, having a large regional park within a few minutes is a significant draw, and it sets Royal Oak apart from more purely suburban parts of Saanich.
Saanich Commonwealth Place, built for the 1994 Commonwealth Games, is the area's major recreation centre, with a competition pool, leisure pool, fitness facilities and programs for all ages. Together with the lakes, the Lochside Regional Trail that runs through the area, and nearby parks, it gives Royal Oak a strong base of recreation that appeals to families, retirees and anyone who wants to be active close to home.
Royal Oak is a practical place to live. The Royal Oak Shopping Centre and nearby Broadmead Village cover groceries, pharmacies, restaurants and services, and the Pat Bay Highway (Highway 17) is right there for quick trips downtown or out to the Saanich Peninsula, the airport and the ferries. For commuters and for anyone who values convenience, the location is one of the neighbourhood's strongest selling points.
Royal Oak is served by the Saanich School District (SD63). Royal Oak Middle School is in the neighbourhood, and Claremont Secondary serves the wider area, along with several elementary schools nearby. Catchments can change, so confirm the schools for a specific address with the district. The mix of schools, parks and recreation makes Royal Oak a comfortable choice for families.
Much of Royal Oak's recent growth has been in condos and townhomes, including the Travino development and other projects near West Saanich Road and Elk Lake Drive. For a newer strata home, confirm whether GST applies, ask for warranty details on anything recently built, and read the bylaws, budget and depreciation report so you understand the monthly fee and what it covers. These documents matter as much in a desirable location as anywhere else.
Royal Oak is roughly 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Victoria by the Pat Bay Highway outside of rush hour, and it is a genuine gateway to the Saanich Peninsula, the airport and the ferry terminals. The Lochside Trail offers a car-free cycling and walking route toward downtown and north to Sidney, and local bus service runs along the main roads. The combination of highway access and trail connections suits a range of households.
Royal Oak draws downsizers and professionals who want a newer condo or townhome near the lakes and the highway, families who want schools, parks and recreation within reach, and commuters who value the quick connection to downtown and the Peninsula. The mix of established houses and newer strata homes means buyers at several price points can find a place in the same well-located neighbourhood.
Royal Oak is the lake-and-highway counterpart to Saanich's other central neighbourhoods. Compare it with nearby Broadmead properties, with Cordova Bay on the coast, and with the wider Saanich real estate market across the district.
