Vancouver Island MLS Listings - Homes for Sale

Rockheights occupies elevated terrain in southeastern Esquimalt, offering stunning ocean and mountain views along with a distinct hillside neighborhood character. This area features predominantly mid-century homes on sloped lots, many with territorial views across Esquimalt Harbour to the Olympic Mountains, creating premium value within Esquimalt's generally affordable real estate market. Rockheights residents appreciate the peaceful residential atmosphere, excellent vantage points, and proximity to both Esquimalt amenities and neighboring Oak Bay. The neighborhood benefits from its elevated position, providing privacy, natural light, and exceptional outlooks that rival far more expensive view properties in other Greater Victoria areas. Properties range from modest bungalows on view lots to extensively renovated homes capturing panoramic water and mountain vistas. The area attracts buyers seeking view properties without Oak Bay or Fairfield price tags, offering remarkable value for territorial perspectives. Rockheights maintains quiet streets with minimal through traffic, mature landscaping, and well-maintained homes reflecting pride of ownership. The neighborhood provides easy access to Macaulay Point Park, a spectacular waterfront green space featuring historic military fortifications, ocean trails, and protected Garry Oak meadows just minutes away. Schools serve local families, while Esquimalt Road's shopping district and frequent transit service are easily accessible. The hillside topography creates a distinct sense of separation from busier lower Esquimalt, with winding streets and elevated positions fostering a retreat-like atmosphere. Recent interest in view properties has increased attention on Rockheights, with buyers recognizing the exceptional value proposition of ocean views, mountain backdrops, and proximity to Victoria at prices significantly below comparable view homes elsewhere. Whether seeking a fixer-upper with view potential or a fully renovated home with panoramic outlooks, Rockheights delivers stunning settings at accessible prices.
