Fernwood is one of Victoria's most characterful neighbourhoods, a close-knit community just northeast of downtown with tree-lined streets, heritage homes and a creative, independent spirit. It appeals to buyers who want a village feel without leaving the city.

What Fernwood is like
Fernwood Square is the heart of the neighbourhood, home to the Belfry Theatre, cafes, small shops and community events. Residents also enjoy Gonzales Hill, Vancouver Street, nearby Hillside and Cook Street Village, and an easy walk or bike ride to downtown.
The homes
Fernwood has early-1900s character houses, renovated bungalows, duplexes and a growing number of townhomes and condos. Prices are often more approachable than nearby Fairfield or Oak Bay, which attracts first-time buyers, young families and investors.
