About the building
Known as The Parkside, this well-established 4-storey residential building is located just steps from the scenic Gorge Waterway. Completed in 1994, the complex offers 27 bright and spacious condominiums featuring open-concept layouts, gas fireplaces, and in-suite laundry. Residents benefit from professionally managed strata amenities including secure underground parking, bike storage, and a pet-friendly environment near the Galloping Goose Trail and downtown Victoria.
The Parkside's suites have gas fireplaces, in-suite laundry, electric baseboard heat and covered balconies of roughly eight or nine feet by five; a 2025 listing of an 805-square-foot two-bedroom carried a strata fee of about $485 a month and a one-bedroom about $450. The building is sprinklered and alarmed, with secure underground parking, bike storage and lockers, and listings describe a professionally managed strata with a large contingency fund. One listing limits pets to a single cat or dog under 10 kilograms, so confirm the bylaw.
It is registered as strata plan VIS3483; no developer or independent unit count surfaced in public records. The Gorge waterway and the Galloping Goose are a few minutes' walk, and the Gorge Road buses run downtown in about ten minutes.
