Planning a Move to Colwood?
Colwood is a charming and rapidly evolving city on the western edge of Greater Victoria — a place where stunning natural scenery, rich history, and modern family living come together in perfect harmony. Bordered by the ocean, provincial parks, and the majestic Hatley Castle, Colwood offers residents a lifestyle that blends heritage, nature, and community in a way few places in BC can match. If you’re considering a move to Colwood, Brown Bear Moving is your trusted local partner for a stress-free relocation.
What Makes Colwood Special
Colwood’s most iconic landmark is the stunning Hatley Castle — a National Historic Site of Canada and the centrepiece of Royal Roads University. Built in 1908 by James Dunsmuir, a former premier of BC, the castle is set within 565 acres of breathtaking grounds including formal Italian and Japanese gardens, ancient Garry oak meadows, and forest trails. The grounds are open to the public on weekends and represent one of the most dramatic heritage landscapes anywhere on Vancouver Island.
Along the shoreline, Esquimalt Lagoon is a federally protected migratory bird sanctuary and one of the most beautiful natural areas in the region. The long gravel spit offers spectacular views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward the Olympic Mountains, and the shallow, calm lagoon is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers year-round. Nearby, Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site preserves Victorian-era coastal artillery fortifications where you can walk through living history overlooking the Pacific entrance to Victoria Harbour.
Family Fun in Colwood
Colwood is an outstanding place for families. The Hatley Castle grounds offer weekend family walks through formal gardens and heritage forest trails that feel like stepping into another era — kids love exploring the castle exterior and the grounds around it. Esquimalt Lagoon is perfect for shore walks, bird identification, and teaching children about coastal ecosystems.
The newly developed Colwood Corners area provides shopping and dining, while Westshore Town Centre (shared with Langford) offers comprehensive retail. The Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre serves Colwood families with swimming pools, ice rinks, fitness facilities, and programming for all ages. With excellent elementary and secondary schools and a growing community atmosphere, Colwood is a wonderful place to raise a family close to the water and the outdoors.
Moving in Colwood — What to Expect
As experienced Colwood movers, we know the area well — from the newer developments near the Colwood Corners commercial district to the established residential neighbourhoods closer to the lagoon and Royal Roads. Some of Colwood’s older neighbourhoods feature narrower streets and mature landscaping, requiring careful navigation, while newer areas have wide, easy-access roads perfect for efficient loading and unloading.
Brown Bear Moving handles moves of all sizes across Colwood. Our crews are professional, punctual, and fully equipped with all the packing materials, dollies, and furniture protection needed to keep your belongings safe throughout the move.

They were great to deal with during the planning of our move - even with changing dates and times, and we're able to work with us to hold our.stuff overnight for an early morning move in.
They were very transparent about prices and cost, and on par with other moving companies. As we had a 2 hour move in window, they were super helpful and recommended using 3 guys vs 2 (which most other companies quoted) to ensure we met the 2 hour requirement.
During the move the guys were friendly and very clean making sure to lay mats/carpets. They also were great dealing with our stuff ensuring everything was protected properly and nothing was damaged or wrecked. On top of that they were super efficient getting everything in and out in under the time expected.
Would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to everyone!
These guys were great. We were moving into a brand new building so the move in date changed a couple of times and they were more than accommodating. They showed up on time and were very quick and careful with everything. I would definitely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
