Keating is a rural sub-neighbourhood situated in the eastern portion of Central Saanich, stretching roughly from the Pat Bay Highway (Highway 17) eastward toward the Saanichton Bay waterfront. It occupies gently rolling agricultural land with Keating Cross Road serving as one of its defining landmarks, intersecting with other country roads that give the area its quintessential Saanich Peninsula character. Keating borders the more central areas of Central Saanich to the west and adjoins the seaside community of Saanichton to the north, while enjoying proximity to both Victoria International Airport and the scenic Inlet Drive shoreline. The neighbourhood retains a distinctly agricultural identity, with farm properties, small hobby farms, and acreages interspersed among residential homes. The housing character in Keating reflects its rural roots, with the majority of properties being single-family houses set on larger lots that often exceed half an acre or more. Homes here tend to span a broad age range, from older ranchers and character farmhouses dating back several decades to more contemporary custom-built residences constructed in recent years. The streetscape feels open and spacious, with properties separated by hedgerows, mature trees, and pastoral views rather than dense fencing or sidewalks. While rowhouses and townhouses occasionally appear in the active listing mix, detached houses clearly dominate, averaging around four bedrooms and reflecting the area's appeal to families seeking space and a semi-rural lifestyle. Current listings range roughly from the high seven hundreds to well into the upper eighteen hundreds, underscoring the premium placed on acreage and privacy.
