Why your community choice matters more than the house

Most people start their move by scrolling listings and falling in love with houses. But on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, the community you choose will shape your daily life far more than the floor plan.

Ferries, healthcare access, winter weather, walkability, and local culture can all make the difference between “this is everything we hoped for” and “why didn’t anyone tell us this before we moved?”
