Description

Why travel for a little downtime when so much is right at home? At Royal Woods, an impressive collection of amenities makes it easier to relax, stay active, and enjoy your day. Start your morning with a swim in the indoor pool, unwind in the hot tub or sauna after a long day, stay active in the gym or on the tennis court, then spend the evening in the lounge, library, or games room. This is a lifestyle that's as rewarding as the home itself. Inside, this spacious home offers comfortable, functional living. The generous living and dining area is filled with natural light and opens through two sliding glass doors to an impressive 32' balcony overlooking mature cedar trees and beautifully landscaped gardens - an inviting extension of your living space that's perfect for morning coffee, container gardening, or relaxing with a good book. The kitchen features an updated stainless refrigerator and stove, while the large bedroom offers a substantial closet and its own sliding door access to the balcony, creating a bright and peaceful retreat. The full bathroom has been updated with a walk-in tub featuring built-in Bluetooth audio, adding both comfort and convenience to your daily routine. Abundant in-suite storage, plus an additional storage locker, means there's a place for everything. Practical features continue with one dedicated parking stall and the opportunity to rent a second stall if needed. The location is equally appealing. UVic, Uptown Shopping Centre, Swan Lake, and vibrant downtown Victoria are all just minutes away, making commuting, shopping, dining, and recreation wonderfully convenient. Easy Highway 17 access brings you to BC Ferries and Victoria International Airport in just 30 minutes. Whether you're seeking your first home, a comfortable place to downsize, or a low-maintenance lifestyle with amenities that truly set this community apart, come experience the lifestyle for yourself. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing. (id:63159)

Amenities

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
