Tanner

Neighborhood Overview

Why Buyers Choose Tanner

Tanner is the view pocket in Central Saanich: elevated hillside lots with Olympic Mountain and Haro Strait panoramas that would cost significantly more in Saanich East or North Saanich. The neighbourhood is almost entirely newer construction from the 1990s forward, which means buyers are getting modern systems, larger floor plans, and energy-efficient envelopes rather than the deferred maintenance that comes with mid-century Peninsula character homes. For buyers comparing Tanner to similar-priced properties in Gordon Head or Bear Mountain, the Peninsula setting gives a quieter, more rural atmosphere with views that the urban fringe cannot provide. The proximity to Saanichton village for daily services means the view lifestyle does not require trading away all walkable amenity.

Typical Homes in Tanner

Tanner Ridge is a newer neighbourhood with consistent housing stock: predominantly two-storey and rancher-style executive homes from the 1990s and 2000s with contemporary finishes, attached garages, and intentional view orientation. Entry-level properties from $925,000 are typically on the lower ridgeline with partial rather than full panoramic views. The core of the market from $1.1 million to $1.55 million covers well-maintained homes with territorial Olympic Mountain and Haro Strait perspectives from primary living areas and master suites. The upper end approaching $1.85 million reflects homes on premium lots with the widest possible view angles, typically featuring updated kitchens, outdoor entertaining spaces, and recent system replacements. Inventory is consistently limited as the neighbourhood is built out and turnover is low.
