Homes for sale in Sidney

Living in Sidney

Sidney is the only incorporated town on the Saanich Peninsula, and it wears its "Sidney by the Sea" nickname well. Beacon Avenue is a genuinely walkable main street of shops, bookstores, and cafes that runs down to the waterfront and pier, with Sidney Spit and the Salish Sea beyond. It sits minutes from Victoria International Airport and the BC and Washington State ferry terminals, which makes it a convenient base as well as a destination.

The mix of condos, townhomes, and single family homes makes Sidney popular with downsizers and retirees, while families are drawn by the small-town feel and seaside setting.

The Sidney housing market

Sidney has a strong condo and townhome market that suits downsizers, alongside single family homes, with the core single family benchmark near $1.33 million as of June 2026. Walk-to-town and waterfront properties carry a premium, while well-located condos offer a lower-maintenance way into a seaside lifestyle.

Amenities, schools, and getting around

Beacon Avenue covers shopping and dining, the waterfront and Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea anchor the seaside, and the airport and ferries are minutes away. Schools, recreation, and the Lochside Trail serve residents, and downtown Victoria is roughly a 30 minute drive down the peninsula.
