Eastern Highlands

Eastern Highlands occupies the eastern portion of the Highlands district, positioned along the municipality's boundary with neighbouring Saanich. This sub-area is roughly defined by its placement east of Millstream Road, extending toward the Saanich border where rural character meets the edge of more developed communities. The terrain here is characterized by rolling, forested landscapes typical of the broader Highlands area, with properties nestled among Garry oak ecosystems and Douglas fir stands. Eastern Highlands maintains the same rural, low-density ethos as the rest of Highlands, but its proximity to Saanich provides a slightly more accessible feel while preserving the region's trademark seclusion and natural beauty. The housing stock in Eastern Highlands reflects the area's rural residential nature, with single-family homes on larger lots dominating the landscape. Properties here tend to feature a mix of established homes and newer custom builds, many taking advantage of the area's natural topography and privacy. The current listing mix includes both houses and vacant land parcels, with an average of around two bedrooms reflecting a range from modest rural retreats to more spacious family homes. Listings span a wide price spectrum from approximately $299,900 to $2,900,000, indicating diversity in both property size and land offerings. The overall streetscape is understated and wooded, with homes set well back from quiet, winding roads that wind through the forested setting, creating an established yet evolving rural neighbourhood character.
