There’s much to experience when you live in Esquimalt.
Parks, recreation, shops, restaurants, and a rich nautical history are all in the mix. Essentials you can’t live without are close to home, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and schools. This community has been known as a hidden gem, and it’s only getting better.
With Anchor set on a main road into Victoria, visiting or commuting to downtown couldn’t be easier. Walk, bike, take the bus, or drive. You’ll find culture, nightlife, shopping, and dining — plus, the famous harbour and seaplanes to the mainland. Going to UVic? That’s close, too. It’s all there, when you want it.
Run a few errands to set you up for the week. Pick up fresh beans at Esquimalt Roasting Company, stock your kitchen with ingredients at Country Market, find a book at the library, or grab essentials at Shoppers Drug Mart. They’re all either within walking distance or a short drive away.
Squeeze in a fun workout. Take your pick: a swim at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre or a game of pickleball at the courts in Barnard Park.
Top off the day with a delicious meal and creative cocktails at Janevca in the beautifully restored Rosemead House.
