Harbourside Cohousing is a 31-unit development, situated on a 2+-acre waterfront property, including a treed green space to the west with walking trails. This southeast-facing unit offers panoramic views of Sooke Harbour, Whiffin Spit, and East Sooke Regional Park out our front windows, with the Olympic Mountains of Washington State forming a dramatic backdrop.

Our 872 square foot unit is a bright, open concept, thoughtfully designed living space, with nine-foot ceilings. It is a quiet oceanfront corner unit with covered deck in a four-unit building. Spacious outer entry area provides shade in summer for sitting, with ample storage space for gardening items.  Handy 2-piece bath at entry into unit. One bedroom joins a 4-piece bath with deep soaking tub, and large linen closet.  Pocket door opens into the ocean facing den/extra bedroom/living room (labelled as Master Bedroom on Floor Plan) or extension of the main living and dining area.   Extensive windows in this corner unit guarantee natural light from dawn to dusk. Colorful perennials and deciduous trees and bushes, in full view just outside the dining room window, complement the east side of the building. Spacious 8’ x 26’ covered ocean-facing deck offers amazing views to wake up to and enjoy, any time of the year! 

Stacking washer/dryer set in a separate closet in the unit is included, as are the double door refrigerator with lower freezer drawer, stove/oven and dishwasher. Hunter Douglas blinds throughout provide full privacy or just the right amount of light and views to the outside. Harmonium linoleum flooring, newer paint, and updated light fixtures grace this compact yet spacious feeling, open concept living space. 

 Directly across from the unit is the gym, art room, garden beds, and parking spaces (one resident and one visitor). A shared EV charger is close by as is the wharf/gazebo/BBQ area, and a woodworking workshop with shared tools. Also a few steps away is a welcoming fire pit area which residents enjoy for social gatherings. A Common House offers 2 guest suites and a self-contained suite for housing guests, 2 commercial style kitchens, a movie room, Great Hall for meetings and gatherings for special events and meals, a variety of social programming to partake in and on-site gardening (a community vegetable garden, mini orchard (pears, apples, peaches), and numerous perennial beds).  Secure bicycle lock-up, secure on-site storage cages assigned to each unit, easy launching and storage for kayaks & sups, efficient on site composting, and an impressive recycling and garbage room complete the many common amenities.

In 2023 Harbourside added a 55kW solar photovoltaic system which helps defray future increases in common electricity costs.

We appreciate the nearby village of Sooke – a 15-minute walk to grocery, bakery, and drug stores, medical and dental clinics, churches, cafes and community parks. A walkable community next to the stunning Sooke Harbour.

Harbourside is a member of the Canadian Cohousing Network. This lively cohousing community of people ranging in age from early 60’s to early 90’s, offers many opportunities for developing new skills and enduring friendships in a caring environment.
