The neighbourhood

Rockland.

Victoria's grandest heritage address

Rockland holds some of Victoria's largest and most storied heritage homes on winding, tree canopied streets, anchored by Government House, the Lieutenant Governor's official residence, and Craigdarroch Castle. It has been one of the city's most prestigious neighbourhoods since the late 1800s and remains largely unchanged in character.

Fort Street's antique row and Cook Street Village are both a short walk away for shops, cafes and restaurants.

Rockland sits an easy walk from downtown Victoria and Fairfield, with BC Transit routes along Fort Street and Richardson Street.
