Buying a townhome in Greater Victoria
A townhome purchase is part home selection and part paperwork review. The upside is lifestyle and space. The smart move is confirming the strata details early so you know exactly what you are buying and what you are agreeing to.
Townhome styles you will see

- Row townhomes side by side units with fewer shared walls than many condos.
- Duplex style townhomes paired units that can feel close to a detached home.
- Townhome plus flex layouts with office or den options that work well for remote work.
Strata checklist that matters
- Minutes and bylaws so you understand rules that affect pets, rentals, and lifestyle.
- Financial statements plus reserve fund so you can gauge future stability.
- Insurance and deductibles so surprises do not show up later.
- Depreciation report if available, plus upcoming maintenance plans.
- Parking and storage including visitor parking rules.
