The story

What is it like to live in Interurban?

The Interurban neighbourhood surrounds Camosun College’s Interurban campus and the Vancouver Island Technology Park, along Interurban Road. Housing is limited: a few houses and newer townhome developments, including on Dunsterville Avenue, surrounded by campus, parkland and the Viaduct Flats wetland.

It suits buyers who want a newer townhome with trails at the door: the Interurban Rail Trail runs through, Viaduct Flats is a birdwatching favourite, and Camosun’s Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence offers gym and fitness programs.

02
The homes

What should you check before buying in Interurban?

These are the items that most often change a buyer’s decision, or the price, in Interurban.

  • 01Strata documents. For condos and townhomes, review the minutes, depreciation report, contingency reserve fund and any special levies before removing subjects.
  • 02New construction. For newer townhomes, check the home warranty coverage and the strata budget.
  • 03Campus activity. Proximity to Camosun means more traffic and parking demand during term. Visit on a weekday.
  • 04Suites and garden suites. Saanich allows secondary suites and garden suites in many single-family zones, subject to rules and permits. Confirm the zoning, and that any existing suite is permitted, before counting on rental income.
  • 05Permits. Additions, suites, decks and renovations should have permit records; unpermitted work can affect financing and insurance.
