About the building
The Metro is a 4-storey residential building located in the heart of downtown Langford, BC. Completed in 2008, it offers 65 modern strata units featuring open-concept layouts, hardwood floors, granite countertops, and crown molding. Residents enjoy convenient access to shopping, dining, and public transit, making it an ideal choice for urban living.
The Metro is registered as strata plan VIP71257, with a poured-concrete foundation and cement-fibre siding; one source counts 45 homes rather than 65. One-bedroom suites of about 780 to 900 square feet are common, with wood floors, stone counters, a fireplace, a soaker tub and a balcony. Heating is electric baseboard, and some owners have added window air conditioners.
An elevator, secure underground parking and a storage room serve the building, and the strata fee includes hot water, water, garbage and insurance. Listings describe the building as pet-friendly subject to bylaws. Goldstream Avenue's shops, restaurants and the Langford bus exchange are a short walk.
About Langford Proper
Langford Proper is the MLS name for the centre of the City of Langford: the Goldstream Avenue strip, Station Avenue, Claude Road and the blocks around Veterans Memorial Park and Langford Lake. Langford incorporated in 1992, became a city in 2003 and was the fastest-growing community in British Columbia at the 2021 census, and its downtown is the newest high-density core in Greater Victoria. Almost all of the housing here is condominium, apartment or townhome stock built since the early 2000s, with towers of 18 storeys and more now proposed around Peatt Road and Goldstream Avenue.
The neighbourhood is unusually well served for its size. Langford Lake and the Ed Nixon Trail sit a few blocks from the shops, the YMCA-YWCA aquatic centre and library opened in 2016, and City Centre Park, Eagle Ridge Community Centre and Starlight Stadium, home to Pacific FC and Rugby Canada, are at the west end of the core. Westshore Town Centre and the Millstream big-box stores handle most errands. Belmont Secondary is on the lake. Langford Exchange is the West Shore transit hub, and the Route 95 RapidBus runs from there to the Legislature about every fifteen minutes; the Galloping Goose crosses the city, and the drive downtown is about twenty minutes outside rush hour.
