Planning a Move to View Royal?
Tucked between Langford, Esquimalt, and Colwood, View Royal is one of Greater Victoria’s most underrated residential gems — a small, peaceful municipality with a strong sense of community, exceptional natural spaces, and a location that offers easy access to both downtown Victoria and the Westshore. View Royal strikes the perfect balance between urban convenience and natural tranquility, making it a favourite for families, professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. If you’re considering a move to View Royal, Brown Bear Moving is ready to help you make a seamless transition.
What Makes View Royal Special
The undisputed star of View Royal’s natural landscape is Thetis Lake Regional Park — a stunning multi-lake park that is one of the Capital Regional District’s most beloved outdoor destinations. The two main lakes (Upper and Lower Thetis) offer swimming in summer, with a designated swimming area that draws families from across Greater Victoria. The park’s extensive trail network winds through forests of Douglas fir and Garry oak, past rocky outcrops with panoramic views, and along peaceful shorelines. It’s a place that residents of View Royal feel exceptionally fortunate to have on their back doorstep.
View Royal is also home to one of Victoria’s most historic pubs: the Six Mile Pub, established in 1855 and one of the oldest continuously operating pubs in BC. Set in a heritage building full of character, the Six Mile is a beloved community gathering spot that perfectly captures the blend of history and modern community life that defines View Royal.
History enthusiasts will also love Craigflower Manor and Farmhouse, a National Historic Site that preserves one of the oldest surviving buildings in western Canada — a fascinating window into Vancouver Island’s pioneer past, right in the heart of View Royal.
Family Fun in View Royal
View Royal is an exceptional place for families who love the outdoors. Thetis Lake is the centrepiece of summer family life — kids swim, parents paddleboard, and the whole family explores the trails that connect the two lakes and extend deep into the surrounding park. The lake’s calm, warm water in July and August makes it one of the best swimming spots in the region.
The Galloping Goose Regional Trail passes through View Royal, providing a family-friendly cycling and walking path that connects all the way from downtown Victoria to the Westshore and beyond. The trail makes it possible to cycle safely as a family without navigating busy roads — a huge asset for the community. Local schools are well-regarded, community events are regularly hosted at parks and recreation facilities, and the neighbourhood has the kind of tight-knit feel that’s increasingly hard to find in growing Greater Victoria.
Moving in View Royal — What to Expect
As experienced View Royal movers, we know the area inside and out. View Royal has a mix of housing types — from heritage homes near Craigflower Road to newer developments near the Thetis Lake area and mid-century family homes throughout. Some of the roads near the lake and park areas can be narrow and winding, which requires experience and proper vehicle sizing to navigate efficiently.

We’re fully equipped with protective packing materials, furniture blankets, and all the tools needed to move everything safely from studio apartments to large family homes. Our team respects your property and your timeline — we work hard to make moving day as smooth and stress-free as possible.

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.
