Northridge Real Estate Saanich West’s fastest-selling family homes
Family homes on quiet crescents near the Colquitz River trails, and Saanich West’s fastest-selling detached market this past year. Prices, sales and what to check, from REALTOR® Robin Scrimger.
Northridge is a family neighbourhood north of Mann Avenue, with quiet crescents like Eastridge, Springridge, Ridgewood and Ponderosa lined with 1970s-to-1990s homes, plus a townhome complex on Interurban Road. Copley West Park and the Colquitz River trails run along its edge.
It’s in demand for a reason: quiet streets, good-sized family homes, trails for walks, and Royal Oak and Tillicum shopping both close. This past year, Northridge houses sold faster than anywhere else in Saanich West.

The homes
What should you check before buying in Northridge?
These are the items that most often change a buyer’s decision, or the price, in Northridge.
01Building age and updates. Many homes here date from the 1950s to the 1980s. Ask about the roof, windows, electrical, plumbing and any oil tank history, and get a full inspection.
02Suites 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.
03Trees and lot changes. Saanich regulates the removal of larger trees. If you plan to add on, build a garden suite or clear part of the lot, check the tree rules first.
04Strata documents. For condos and townhomes, review the minutes, depreciation report, contingency reserve fund and any special levies before removing subjects.
05Permits. Additions, suites, decks and renovations should have permit records; unpermitted work can affect financing and insurance.
06School catchment. Saanich is split between SD61 and SD63, and catchments follow the exact address. Confirm before you write an offer if schools matter.
07Move fast. With homes selling quickly, get financing and inspections lined up before you start viewing.
