Uplands

The Uplands area is found adjacent to the Oak Bay and Cadboro Bay Victoria neighbourhoods. The Uplands are a prime example of a garden suburb as designed in 1907. Uplands was created by John Olmsterad who was responsible for designing many upscale and famous neighbourhoods and parks in the early part of the 20th century in North America. This elegant neighbourhood is comprised of estate-sized lots, lovely winding boulevards, signature green globed lamp posts and manicured public spaces. In order for there to be no compromising the spectacular views of the ocean, islands and mountain backdrop, all hydro wires in the Uplands have been buried. The Uplands is clearly a luxury real estate location second to none in British Columbia, in Canada and perhaps even in the world.

James Bay

James Bay in Victoria BC is actually the oldest residential neighbourhood on the west coast of North America north of San Francisco.
