About the building
Hampton Court is a four-storey residential building located in the Burnside-Gorge neighborhood of Victoria, close to the Selkirk Waterfront and the Galloping Goose Trail. Built in 1993, the complex offers 60 condominium residences characterized by functional open floor plans, gas fireplaces, and private balconies. The building features a stucco exterior and provides residents with practical amenities including secure underground parking, bike storage, and in-suite laundry facilities.
Hampton Court is registered as strata plan VIS2720, with a poured-concrete foundation and a tar-and-gravel roof, and the strata fee includes building insurance, water, garbage, management and grounds; listings also note that the gas fireplaces are covered by the fee and that the contingency fund is well above average for a building of this size. Suites run from one-bedroom-and-den plans of about 810 square feet to two-bedroom, two-bathroom plans of 940 to 990 square feet, many with south balconies onto the courtyard.
Each home has one secure underground stall and a storage locker, and the building has an elevator and a bike room. Listings describe a pet-friendly strata that allows barbecues; confirm with the strata. Manchester Road is a tree-lined no-through street a short walk from the Selkirk Trestle, the Gorge Waterway and Selkirk Village.
About Burnside
Burnside is the MLS name for Victoria's Burnside-Gorge neighbourhood, roughly the area between Tolmie Avenue, Blanshard Street, Chatham Street and the Gorge waterfront west of Harriet Road. It is the most mixed neighbourhood in the city: a large industrial and commercial district around Rock Bay and the Douglas Street corridor, stable residential pockets in the northwest, and new apartment and condominium buildings going up along Gorge Road, Burnside Road and the Selkirk waterfront. The City's plan calls for most of Victoria's future growth to land on the Douglas Street corridor, which is also the planned rapid-transit spine.
Mayfair Shopping Centre is the retail anchor and is designated a town centre, Selkirk Village on the Gorge is a smaller urban village, and the Burnside Gorge Community Centre is on Cecelia Road. Gorge Park, Cecelia Ravine and Arbutus Park give the area more green space than its reputation suggests, and Point Ellice House on Pleasant Street is a national historic site. Phillips, Vancouver Island, Driftwood, Hoyne and Moon Under Water breweries are all within a short walk of each other, which has made the area a stop on the BC Ale Trail. The Galloping Goose crosses the waterway on the Selkirk Trestle, and the Inner Harbour is about twenty minutes on foot.
