The region immediately west of Victoria is known as the West Shore, and stretches westwards from Esquimalt Harbour to Rocky Point, along the shoreline of the Juan de Fuca Strait. It includes the communities of Langford, Metchosin, View Royal and the Highlands, all located to the west of Victoria. Today, Colwood is one of the most rapidly growing municipalities in the greater Victoria area, with a variety of Vancouver Island homes to choose from, especially new homes. Condominiums start at around $300,000, single detached family homes average $500,000 and spectacular ocean view homes are also available in this Vancouver Island neighbourhood.
